The Official Japanese Music Suggestion Thread


DocumentaLy

Recommended Posts

Ok, so this is the deal...

 

There does not need to be a thread every other week asking for Japanese music. So many people make them and they're so redundant. It's like... hello, search function...

 

So that is the point of this thread. If you want something, come to this thread, don't make your own thread. They will no longer be replied to. 

 

Also, when you ask for something, you have to be a tad more specific than "I want Japanese music." That's like saying "I want American music." What does that mean? There is such a large variance that it kinda leaves it too open and people end up suggesting whatever. Like if you want something like Big Bang or 2NE1, why would I show you a YUKI video? They don't match up. You just end up with a bunch of people posting whatever they like when the person asking isn't even looking for that and end up ignoring/disregarding it. Wasted effort. Why do this?

 

Also, don't post anything done by a KPop act in Japan. If you want that, this isn't the place for it.

 

Feel free to now ask for suggestions. Someone will listen to what you're looking for reply with suggestions. And again, don't just say Japanese music. Say something specific. Name genres, use adjectives...

something similar to w-inds and perfume

 

I don't listen to w-inds. but I do listen to Perfume so you should maybe check out some of the other people Nakata has worked with (besides Kyary).

Hey guys. I haven't been keeping up with j-music all throughout this year so I've been wondering if you can recommend some 2014 releases? No J-pop please.

I really liked Salu's Comedy, but that's about all I've looked into.

 

You should try KLOOZ's SEASONS then. Probably Miliyah's album as well.

Have you listened to la la larks? It's Yumi's new band and people "complain" that it's basically the same as school food punishment.

I've only heard the anime version of one of their songs. I don't know why people would complain, more school food punishment is a good thing.

 

Because people didn't the reason for disbandment only to turn around and do the same thing with new people.

Random, but I've always been curious: Who's the artist on your DP/Sig?

 

And thanks, I'll try it out.

 

It's YUKI. Her new album came out this week:

So I just found this thread...

 

I mean Midna has introduced me to Miliyah Kato (Unique and Reisei to Jounetsu no Aida) and Sakanaction, and I like them (I greatly feel thankful). Maybe you can recommend me more songs from Sakanaction (and artist with similar music sounds to Miliyah and Sakanaction)?

 

I need to upgrade my J-songs collection. All this time it's only filled with anime soundtracks, songs from L'arc~en~ciel and Mika Nakashima.

 

Thanks.

 

Edit: maybe you can also recommend me some songs by Japanese soloists (male and female) and Orange Range...

 

Aww, Midna is a girl after my own heart, showing you 2 of the awards under my avatar.

 

 

I might as well show you the other 2 since it's not that much of a stretch if you like the Sakanaction and Miliyah.

Thanks. I'm a sucker for soloists, esp female soloists. I think my profile, avatar, badges, show it all.

 

I was blessed having been paired with her in the Music Trade Off. Makes me wanna revisit my liking of Jpop and Japanese songs in general. Kpop indeed distracted me from that.

 

By the way, Miliyah kinda reminds me of Björk, so I think I'll start browsing more of her songs. And those you recommended.

 

It's weird. A lot of people, when they try to make a parallel between a Japanese female soloist and a Western one, Bjork comes to mind a lot.

 

Miliyah has gone on a journey. She's probably had one of the most drastic musical and image changes I've seen before. But then again people change between 16 and 26. She was a lot more urban before. Deep tan, weaves, everything...

 

Some faves so you see the progression:

She is one of the most underrated acts in Japanese music of the past decade. She would've been bigger if she came out closer to 2000 but then again she would've been like 12 so that wouldn't had been possible.

I didn't know many people do that.

 

Oh, I see then.

 

If this is to clarify anything: I was saying so because of having only listened to those two songs, not the entire discography. I didn't know she was into urban back then.

 

Ohh, I wasn't complaining. It's just that... I think it's because there's so much going on in the music of these women that at times it's hard to find a Western equivalent so Bjork is a good name to say.

Hello! I'm new here, I'd like to listen to jpop music but I don't know where to start. 

 

I liked Arashi and AKB48 but aside from their songs, I'm not used to japanese releases anymore. Thanks :)

 

It depends on what you're looking for. If you want idols, go the idol thread.

Hi~

I am searching for sth similar to YUI, my favourit song of her is Again. I was obsessed with that song (and also downloaded her albums) one or two years ago.

It came up in my shuffle yesterday and reminded me of how much I liked it. Hope someone can help me~

 

that's 'Again':

There are a ton of YUI clones out right now. Ohara Sakurako, miwa, Leo Ieiri, Rihwa, Katahira Rina...

Does anyone know of any good electronic music?? 

 

GET THE NEW PARKGOLF ABLUM!

 

He does a lot of sampling, and one of the samples he used is the one of my favorite songs ever:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ebS85Kfyw

 

He also sampled a Ciara song.

 

 

A trailer for the album:

This album was mastered by Seiho. A song of his:
