https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lctd37oJAsJapanese music used to be so diverse with rock, rnb, and pop sounds. But after the edm boom now every song by LiSA and Yoasobi sound the same and everyone else sounds like they are trying to copy them.
>>47660090Ayase has always sounded samey to me, even in his VocaloP days.
Something old and underground:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxsuq_7PBo8Something old and mainstream:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqYCMxhgeSUSomething new and extremely underground:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2PNsD0la0cI hate that new japanese artists refuse to release full length albums and just drop 5 singles and couple EPs instead.In a couple of days will test the Vandle/Eplus combo. I hope it works.
We love Eplus here.

>>47679978She is Legend is good
>>47683775Yeah, pretty impressive that they've been releasing a new song every month too.
>>47684388Just wish Konomi herself was more popular as her solo career isn't exactly doing well these days.
Well, Vandle works. Got a real japanese phone number, registered vandle and eplus(vandle is just sms, eplus you need to actually call), charged some money on virtual card at 7-eleven(took less than a minute, everything is done via QR codes) and bought an e-ticket for one of the shows i wanted to see, Mukai's acoustic show sadly sold out couple of days ago. Also on more reason to hate eplus - you cant use e-tickets without their app, but you can't use their app to buy tickets. Brilliant.>>47679877Obviously. I hope the show tomorrow wouldn't be totally awful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxV8y7hZwhkDoes this belong in this thread?>>47688310Show? You mean they're still around?

So Kenshi Yonezu is doing a world tour next year, anyone thinking of going ?I might go to London
>>47690089I'll try to go to NYC.
>>47690089Where is he going?
>>47693266Shanghai, Taipei, London, Paris, NYC, LAMarch through April
Got tickets to see Mukai after all. Somebody returned theirs, i guess.>>47688513Why wouldn't they be around?
Liquidroom was a pretty cool place. Except the no photos policy.Base Ball Bear were good. I liked how they exchange solos and use a looper pedal to play rhythm guitar. Shiori on bass absolutely destroyed the lead guitarist/singer, she has a very cool sound and looked gorgeous. Tricot(with substitute bass player) were very boring. They mostly played songs from the bad albums(everything after 真っ暗) with added guitar wankery. Fennel are better.
>>47656251Fuck you all for letting the Hanabie thread die.
All threads die.
Especially when bumping barely works.
one of my favs. thought i'd like the album but meh i just really love this songhttps://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29000249(can't find this album at all on yt)
>>47697248Hanabie lives on forever!
From today's march on Disk Union. Somehow it's even more convoluted than tower records.But cashier girls were extremely cute.
Anyone checked out the new aiko album?
Mukai Shutoku Acoustic Restringing POPGreat showCheck out カラコルムの山々, they were absolutely fantastic. Sort of like Zazen Boys but with a keyboard. And heavier sound. And they have a girl drummer that can actually play.

>>47723470Yeah we should never post anything that's been posted before. Totally correct way to go about things. Retard.
>>47729912Yes.
toddle debuted a new song today, it was pretty good but all their songs sound good live.Hisako needs to stop hanging out with Ayuni D. She's picking up her annoying kiddie voice.
PEDRO is good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btW4Sa-zXbo
Akaikurage won me over. Now i can tolerate her voice.
>>47742833Don't like the vocals.
>>47737795No.
>>47747071How did she win you over?
>>47761324By playing guitar solos with her tongue.
Relistenting Midori's first and second albums... I can compare it to taking a hot refreshing shower... Together with Mariko Gotou chan... Washing away the shampoo of anxiety in the warm streams of raw emotion...
RIP Sabi-san
Looks like I'll have to listen to aiko myself after all.
Anyone have things like y2k era Hikaru Utada/UA? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R53CceEY77Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ7JyZyBjjY

Finally can post some links.New aiko was very boring, but ガラクタ is a decent song. Can't post it because it's paywalled on YouTube. Also never search "aiko" on youtube unless you really need to vomit.Not nearly as over the top as on that Mukai show, but still good:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTRmAbikRIgNew Nagashima:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3yDKyVVqr0Obligatory <100 views song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cwsHMWXHNE>>47781134At least she isn't as hypocritical as most other political musicians.

Can't wait for the midnight releases from SPOOL and Nagashima.Shitko can go fuck herself, even new PEDRO is better.
I don't really know if this is the best thread to ask but does anyone have enka recommendations? I really like the little I've heard and it feels like no one outside of Japan talks about it at all.
New SPOOL, same as the old one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vf32AQDFHo>>47820390Look up archives. Last year someone posted a bunch of enka recommendations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc8SwTKA8jQICDD wrote a new song

I've been enjoying this mentally ill woman's last tape a good bit. Didn't think she would pivot to pop music, but it works well.
Got tickets to some shitgaze show in Shimokita with total nonames playing.>>47861448She pivoted 13 years ago. And there's really no need to make another thread.
Wish he was still alive:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icoGkPuFucMWish there was an official upload. I wonder who owns Butchers discography.

I feel like i listened to Sugar Suicide 200 times already.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR1L4Pjjd2c
Shitko came on during autoplay today and i actually managed to listen to a full song without throwing up. There needs to be some kind of reward for that.
Well, time to listen to solo Eriko Hashimoto. Maybe it's better than Chatmonchy.
yo, say what you want about Imperial Japan and world war II and their exploits but werent their marching songs bangers and catchy af? second only to Russian war songs
