presario182 3 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So I only really listen to K-pop but want to get into J and maybe C-Pop. So as a newbie what J-Pop albums do you think is a "must listen" album I should try out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Bae â™” 49 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 not an album but you have to watch this, my fave Japanese song, ever.

Romeo 6,271 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 It's hard to say since jpop is a vast genre and it depends on what type of music you like to listen to. Depending on what area of j-music someone listens to they'll tell you something different If you just want plain album recommendations, A recent personal favorite is Sekai No Owari's Entertainment Which includes this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenYourThighs 2,958 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Since I do listen to a lot of indie/rock (very few in the japanese section), I would recommend you to give Wienners, UNCHAIN and andymori a try. I won't give you a specific album to go for, but it would be a lot better for you to get a taste of their music style by listening to title tracks for starters. Aside from that I do enjoy a handful of J-pop albums such as Iconiq's "Change Myself", Elisa's "Rouge Adolescence" and Tackey & Tsubas "TEN" and "2wenty 2wo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusenkai 2,373 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 From a rock/pop-rock (somewhat more the latter) stand-point, I'd recommend the following: Bump of Chicken - orbital period / Yggdrasil (might even add RAY to this list, though it's still too fresh in my mind for that to really be a fair consideration) RADWIMPS - Batsu to Maru to Tsumi to Mr.Children - Shinkai / Bolero HY - Parade Southern All Stars - Killer Street B'z - LOOSE / The 7th Blues Yuzu - 1 ~ONE~ / Shinsekai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKYUAAA SENPAI AI SHITERU UVERworld's stuff is generally hit or miss for me, but I'm loving this. Gonna go check out more of their stuff. __ Back on topic, some of my fave albums off the top of my head KAT-TUN - Chain (probably my favorite non-Best of album) BENI - Lovebox Miliyah Kato - M Best MAY's - Amazing Yuya Matsushita - 2U AAA - AAA Best Ayumi Hamasaki - Secret Kumi Koda - Japonesque And pick an album by Utada. Good luck finding any of them. I mostly listen to singles myself, but these are some pretty good albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamSoldier 294 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 From the pop genre I would recommend Dream's 7th Anniversary Best of Dream Album, it has a vast variety of various sounds; from eurobeat to dance music. 1 MOVIN'ON Movin'on 2 HEART ON WAVE Heart on Wave 3 BREAKIN' OUT Breakin' out 4 PRIVATE WARS Private wars 5 REALITY reality 6 NIGHT OF FIRE NIGHT OF FIRE 7 MY WILL My will 8 BELIEVE IN YOU Believe in you 9 SOLVE solve 10 OUR TIME Our Time 11 STAY-NOW I'M HERE- STAY～now I'm here～ 12 GET OVER Get Over 13 YOURSELF Yourself 14 SINCERELY-EVER DREAM- SINCERELY～ever dream～ DISC 2 1 MUSIC IS MY THING MUSIC IS MY THING 2 我愛■ウォーアイニー 3 LOVE IS POWER Love is power 4 I â– world ～世界ä¸ã®ã—ã‚ã‚ã›ã‚’æŒãŠã†ï½ž 5 IDENTITY -PROLOGUE- Identity -prologue- 6 PURE PURE 7 LOVE GENERATION Love Generation 8 ãよ風ã®èª¿ã¹ 9 STORY STORY 10 ã“ã®å¤ãŒçµ‚ã‚ã‚‹å‰ã« 11 TRANSIT -INDEPENDENCE- Transit -independence- 12 DREAMING WAY Dreaming Way As for the rock session, I reccomend Acid Black Cherry's "2012"; that album is pure gold.

Teru 22,363 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 depends on what you specifically like and others already said what I'd pick but I'd also suggest Ayumi Hamasaki - I am..., (miss)understood and Secret GLAY - HEAVY GAUGE, pure soul, Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
