Probably a basic opinion, but I love love love The Pillows. They write great melodies, and that's all you need to hook me.

tricot in terms of quantity plus quality, but my favorite Japanese album is Glitter by Pasteboard>>127944166>basicthere's always gonna be people who think negatively of your music taste, so I see no reason why we should be worried about it.
Buck-Tick
>tricot in terms of quantity plus qualityAt this point they have more bad albums than good ones>all those banana mentionsNot japanese, they are as japanese as metallica is danish
I always liked Coaltar of the Deepers.I don't consider Sigh Japanese music
>>127943287I listen to Maximum the Hormone because they're like System of a Down if System of a Down didn't suck.

>>127953288Bro, shut the fuck up, you didn't even listen to half the shit posted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE5hjXh17_c
>>127953273You must be thinking of the drummer, I believe he's still based in Germany, but he's participating in this Japan tour. Also, I said they're playing 3 shows this year, but they added 5 more since the initial announcement, to a total of 8 shows
Easy
>>127953371>You must be thinking of the drummerYou're right. I keep forgetting that because I don't really care for the drumming on Osterreich's tracks.I also just realized that these guys are two years younger than me. What have I done with my life?
>>127953386If we're going there, I have to go with Togenashi Togeari. One of my guilty pleasures.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwvAh7M3erc
>>127953273>>127953371I fact checked myself, he has moved back to Japan https://www.instagram.com/p/DHmR96eI6lT/
>>127953427Awesome; I see those recent live photos of the band as well. I shall pray for footage.
>>127943287probably coaltar but pizzicato five, flipper's guitar, pitcher56, and midori are also pretty good off the top of my head
>>127953464I see you posting LOSTAGE btw, are you one of those folks from back when? Do I know you?

>>127953496lol. I don't know; I doubt it.There have been some good Japanese music threads with cool dudes in the past where I have posted about Lostage and other bands. 残念ですが I haven't been to Japan yet.
>>127953338Another worthless post. Also, nail Jakshittters to a cross
>>127953527Fair enough. I've *barely* been either.It's just that I'm pretty sure I was posting LOSTAGE around 2010 (while they were on the same label as Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, iirc), and I got to meet a good few people on here.Cool to see they're liked in any case though.

>>127943287Boris. been to their live shows twice and they kicked so much ass.band-maid is also pretty cool. the drummer in particular is amazing.
Asian Kung Fu Generation or Yellow Magic Orchestra Also have to note how much I dislike Japanese music that gets popular in western music nerd circles.
I like P-Model.
Literally the only Japanese musician i listen to is Utada Hikaru because she had English versions of her songs.
>>127943287for me it's Lamp

Supercar or the pillows
>>127956539>Also have to note how much I dislike Japanese music that gets popular in western music nerd circles.I know.. Lamp, Fishmans, Ichiko Aoba, Soutaiseiriron etc.. all very popular in the western audience
>>127956539>how much I dislike Japanese music that gets popular in western music nerd circlesSo, groups like YMO?
>>127943287I love SAYOPONY!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh3yiH1DCCU
>>127956577I like Uchoten
>>127943287GISM
>>127943287For me it's Sabbat.One of my favourite metal clips ever is something from 1986 where they're playing live proto-black metal at a concert was was primarily soft-rock and girl-oriented rock bands.The host sounds really confused and the camera pans in on the audience and they're all thoroughly confused japanese girlshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGJRl-dMa9Y

Don't fuck off, your pick is better than most of this thread.
>>127943287Ruins
For me, it's Art-School. Fucking love picrel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBpc8ixpTk0If we're talking about newer bands, I'd say Kudaranai1Nichi. Their last album wasn't that great but the one before it was 10/10.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwLPxOiMh8M>>127943353Great choice, anon. One of my favs as well.>>127953386>>127949321Based. Also Mugi a sexo.>>127953425I love GBC but TogeToge just don't do it for me for some reason. Much prefer both Ave Mujica and MyGO, if we're talking about modern music anime with cute girls.>>127944166I mean, they're the basic pick for a good reason. They're great.I usually play the intro part to White Summer and Green Bicycle... to test how a guitar sounds lol. That's my demo tune.>>127945718What is so good about them, anon? I tried getting into them like four times and just can't.>>127951996What's your favourite Hosono album, anon?>>127964725I've only heard Evoke and liked it overall but not enough to go through their discography. Got any recs, anon?>>127964858Splendid pick also. I like Insomniac Doze quite a bit. It's very cold and pretty. Good Autumn album.
Seen art-school earlier this year, surprisingly, lead singer doesn't sound as bad live as he does on record. But the girl(a newish member) is kind of bad, and it's not like they really need a third guitarist.Also triple encore is really unnecesary, if you have three songs prepared, do them all in one encore.
>>127943287Not really a band, it's more like a collective, but I'd go with geinoh Yamashirogumi
>>127943287LaB LIFehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSCT59t0HDg
>>127943287Not a band, but Rei Harakami might be my favorite Japanese artist and I think more people should know about him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gC2HAultFs
maybe number girl or ling tosite sigure not a band but kenshi yonezu is cool too, i like his early stuff

Oh shit, it's the schizo bot
Going Steady is a total guilty pleasure
>>127967746meds?
>>127965549YESSS
>>127943287Even though it's honestly not all that good of a band, I really like White Heaven (and The Stars). Those two bands had You Ishihara (did lots of production work for Yura Yura Teikoku and OGRE YOU ASSHOLE) and Michio Kurihara (guitarist for Ghost, Cosmic Invention, did that collab album with Boris). I feel like a lot of the band's work is hit or miss. "Out" and "Subway (AKA Night Walker)" are the best songs by far.Most PSF Records bands are pretty cool IMO. High Rise, Acid Mothers Temple, Mikami Kan, Shizuka, etc.I don't think Thee Michelle Gun Elephant innovates on much at all, but I still really like their music.The few songs I've heard from Kikagaku Moyo are really appealing to me. I definitely need to hear more of their stuff eventually.Green Milk from the Planet Orange is honestly pretty shit and the vocals are always terrible but I still really like Concrete City Breakdown so I'd still put them in my favorites.Far East Family Band is just a Pink Floyd clone, but I find them pleasant.Hiroshi Sato made a perfect album (Super Market). It's perfect as long as you skip all of the songs that are worthless. "Rainbow Sealine" and "Night in L.A." are both highlights.Number Girl and Zazen Boys are good.Coaltar of the Deepers have a couple songs I quite like.I don't usually like super weird electronic stuff, but I always end up enjoying Osamu Sato's works.Sorry if this is autism, I just like to slobber on the dicks of the bands and artists I like.
>>127965756Cool. I'm jealous as fuck, anon.
>>127943287Maximum the HormoneAsian Kung Fu Generation
>>127943287Hard to pick one but my top 5 are Lamp, Ichiko Aoba, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, Round Table feat. Nino, and Atarashii GakkoThe first three on the list i actually got to meet them in person after their concerts. They were all super chill and lovely to meet. Atarashii Gakko I also got to see perform live too
