a weeb website and not a single japanese music thread? so here's one.
>>131259457We don't listen to Japanese music because it's painfully derivative of Western music and each other. If you've heard one, you've heard them all, 99% of the time.
>>131260180yes this also this is not a weeb or anime website
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EpP3XSembU&list=PLJHsmitFsi0blCeEksNfMvm3ELno6niVwProbably my favorite Jap band, the arrangements and production are fantastic, a perfect feel-good atmosphere.
>>131259457I think MOTFD is youtube algorithm core for people who have just discovered Japanese music.Yes, I used to like them too, but they're not that good.The first anon is also right. I've been listening to japenis music for 4-5 years now and I have discarded >90% of the artists that I had listened to previously because of how samey they are.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT44yO90Apgsyrup16g is still kino though
Japan's idea of nu metal is pretty neat, especially when they get experimental.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-5n1PO6-VE&list=PL3cQkAFMfs4rDod7HHPNTEX9pptUjZSY8

>>131260194anime websites are the only good things about anime
some of the most unique guitar playing here
>>131260404Discovered this band through Futsuu no Keionbu a couple weeks ago. Very good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-b48WGJJkw>>131261040Yeah, I'd say this is their last great-from-start-to-finish album.Honestly, I've been listening to LTS for over a decade at this point and nothing hits quite like them. I love their debut dearly. It's perfect. Still pretty raw, with that spiky, almost School Girl Bye Bye-ish, guitar tone but way more technical. So fucking good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_yVEosFdmMTK's first solo album is wonderful too. In a different way, though. So if you haven't heard his solo albums yet, don't sleep on them.
>>131260457holy based I was about to post world's end fruit baskethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1m9STA-N-wcouple other favshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l1CpHpY4uUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtpOuobv9Pwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coRwcfzLGSchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM0horvKPB0>>131260509some nice heavy psych/noise. not sure whether the thinness of the tape recording bothers me here or if it is contributing, I feel like this would be so incredibly sick with a bit of sound engineering to give it a little more clarity and punch. the tape sound does have its own magic though
>>131259457there are gooner threads like the Kpop ones here on /jp/
I'll add some more in a bit, but first, here's a newish band out of Hokkaido that I'm really impressed by. They're a bit out there...kinda garage/psyc/prog/noise badassery. Been in my mix the last couple weeks. Apparently they played Fuji Rock just recently. TV TAIRIKU ONDOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWYK3F7Hpe4

>>131260194>also this is not a weeb or anime websiteCope.
>>131261844syrup/lts poster hereYeah, Ling Tosite Sigure is incredibly unique. I have not found anyone who sounds like them.The only somewhat ling tosite sigure sounding band is number girl, specifically with this song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJc8jrcA2aYSokoninaru came close, but they devolved into prog-jrock anime intro slop. There's also a band called Amusement Lager, I'm pretty sure their guitarist uses the same guitar as TK (same pickup at least). He's a bit different from TK, but comes close.TK's first solo album is great and is the album that inspired me to become a one-man band.Really, Ling Tosite Sigure as a whole inspired me to go outside of metal in terms of guitar playing.>>131262136boat's great
The Mad Capsule Markets is a pretty fun band that evolved with time, shame they quit when their sound was at its peak.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqERlesM0rQ&list=PLx0mF-yMr-umgWyc882LDZACgfe0KBxPG&index=1
>>131260404All those words just to say you're a hipster retard
>>131263371https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTVgRAp3eX4>Sokoninaru>but they devolved into prog-jrock anime intro slopYeah, I've not been enjoying their evolution at all. One of those cases where music gets so technical that it eventually turns into robotic mush. Pure ADHD/mania music lol.If you like their earlier stuff, try HaKU (not the indie band with 4 girls lol). They were pretty good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFY4wLlMeTAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fme-XNoWIJA>SappukeiJust an all-round fucking great album. Always makes me want to get beer drunk and start breaking furniture around the time Brutal Man kicks in lmao.I do prefer School Girl Bye Bye, though. Love its breezy and youthful sound.>Amusement LagerThanks, will check them out. Never heard of them.Another cool Futsuu no Keionbu pullhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZkGxAgOhVw
>>131263520the birthday is cool, it's Yusuke Chiba (THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT)'s second band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvkbnhPsC38HaKu is a great recommendation. Their shit is ultra-geoblocked (it's not even on soulseek) so I listened to the one song I could find on youtube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9SfFGcISY4This song really reminds me of Illusion is Mine. Good rec
I went to an Okinawan folk-fusion concert once, it went surprisingly hard at times.https://youtu.be/VoizsRWaPew?si=7AlMWKPZrJZXNmff
TsuShiMaMiRe, now in their mid-40s, has somehow started gaining a bit of popularityOpening for Jack White in Portland https://youtu.be/ZVvqYBK3TPc?si=MKjJWnmJp51MPemyA song in an American game?https://youtu.be/gTPTSvm9DC0?si=__EL1ZaqmAMiqZby
>>131260180No it's literally because you can't speak Japanese so your connection to it is much more limited
>>131263764When it comes to jazz I think japs are a bit overrated, but when it comes to noise, punk, pop and the likes, they are second to none
>>131263804This is because they incorporate jazzy elements into those other genres! Maybe the jazz is not so unique on its own, but those other genres yes! See?
>>131263843For noise/punk not necessarily, but for pop yes indeed, the main appeal of J-pop is not being 2 chords slop for once, stuff like Sheena Ringo's shinjuku-kei stuff would never do well in the US because prog-pop died in the 70s.
>>131263877There is a two-chord song by Sheena Ringo using E7 and A.https://youtu.be/JmrnRmA1GEo?si=YelM-sb_ZcddKaQb
>>131263964And that's when production comes into play, you'll never see this kind of raw production in modern wpop or kpop
>>131263734They deserve it. Absolute road dogs for 20 plus years, have great songs, and even in her 40's that bass player is sexy as hell.
With all this acces to various music you still choose to listen to the most boring basic bitch stuff
I really like Shugo Tokumaruhttps://youtu.be/QW2F-_1lYvM?si=XBzGLQ388kMQJryL
>>131259457I tried this album out just based on the artwork being lovely, turns out I'm enjoying this band a lot. Loving the post-punk shoegaze influence. Ty OP :)
>>131263078"On what rock this site was built upon"Reason enough for the ban
>>131265953Calm down sweetie, no one will listen to your shitty lesser known band you only pretend to like for special snowflake points
we have /jp/ to fulfill all your weeb inquiriesanyways japan is known for taking objectively bad music genres (noise, hardcore, nu metal) and making them somewhat decent
>>131267056Why do you always mention /jp/?They have idol threads but otherwise do not like japanese music threads
>>131260180>Western musicThe West is not a country.I will never take you seriously until you start complaining about Brits playing American genres like rock the same way you complain about Japs playing American genres.

>>131260180>it's painfully derivative of Western music and each other. If you've heard one, you've heard them all, 99% of the time.i wish that were true so i had more than Tribal Chair's 60 song discography to listen to. nothing in their genres that i have heard, from japan or the west, hits the same.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIWliYuPh5Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERsBB3xBh0ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nICxJ3cHxhwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd0w_lLosnAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGPC_lEFexshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIMCFPAzgkYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpukHn53b_Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y58tOiZYzkohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7NcFybd9a4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00otXe4aCv8
>>131271510>that first songLolhttps://youtu.be/4OdxcfinFQs?is=tklywMXawAAfA_v_
>>131272017well a weeb band knocking off a japanese band obviously isnt going to hit the same even when they steal stuff.
>>131260180>Japanese music because it's painfully derivative of Western music and each otherThat is only the case if you exclusively listen to weebslop. Name one band in the west that has similar music to bands like Boris, CoTD, Shinsei Kamattechan.
>>131271510If you think that sounds remotely unique then you clearly haven't listened enough 90s alt/emo/hardcore
>>131272517I like Boris but come on, they literally got their name from the Melvins and their more "unique" drone stuff heavily draws from Earth or other post-metal acts from the 90s. They aren't derivative but they aren't "omg Japan is so unique" either.
>>131260867
>>131272537never said unique, i said "hit the same" all the american stuff ive heard that they were inspired by slash contempories to come off whiny, twangy, folksy, screechy, crunchy even twitchy. it's just not the same feeling, like the american bands lack confidence in a bunch of different ways (emotional, vocal, compositional) it just sounds like a gimmick without the confidence.
>>131272941addendum to this:the western bands that feel closest to Tribal Chair to me, that i know of, are not anywhere in the same subgenres like for example Bloc Party where there is a similar confidence of skill and emotional sincerity to hold up something that could very easily collapse into awkward cringe.
>>131272517There was actually a contemporaneous Western band that sounded exactly like CotD to me but I can't remember the name.
>>131272517>CoTDI'm listening to snow right now lmao
>>131273073early swirlies maybe?
>>131272156From what I've seen he was more of a nerd band, but even as a weeb you think he listened to that exact song from a band with less than a thousand monthly Spotify listeners and 16 RYM followers? It's just a similar riff, and a similar style which isn't that rare. Whether it hits for you or not, objectively in composition and sound it's derivative of a ton of 2000s butt rock and to a lesser extent emo.
>>131273547>From what I've seen he was more of a nerd band, but even as a weeb you think he listened to that exact song from a band with less than a thousand monthly Spotify listeners and 16 RYM followers?based on the date and the assumption he watches anime and is into this kinda music too, yeah probably....."Vault 101" is from a 2010 release, Tribal Chair's breakout year was late 2008 early 2009 with 2 features in anime promoting songs from their 2009 album, anyone interested in them from hearing them in anime around that time quite easily found their prior 2007 album that "Lost Key" is on.... also curiously one of those breakout anime featured songs and the lead single of the album from 2009 is titled "909"........but sure it could be a coincidence i guess.
>>131259457>japanese music>look inside>european music performed by japanese people
>>131275054Wait until you see their cars and clothes.
>>131271510The production is almost identical to Asian Kung-Fu Generation. You will definitely hear a lot of shit that 'hits' like that shit, because it's derivative even within the Japan.
>>131275278>within the Japan
>>131259457I used to listen to Visual Kei bands like Malice Mizer back in the 2000's does that count? Dont even know if those kinds of bands are still a thing.

Shonen Knife [Gasatanka/Giant, 1990]The problem with the Japanese is that they don't know the difference between a Ramones song and a Wrigley commercial. But we do, or should, and these are Wrigley commercials, in which three lookee-no-touchee geishas do a good job of half implying that the supercatchy "Banana Fish" is a J.D. Salinger reference--in other words, that they condescend to American culture as much as American counterculture condescends to them. Unfortunately, the only thing that might make this ambiguity interesting would be musical dimensions they have no time, use, or aptitude for. C+

>>131263608Thee Michelle Gun Elephant and The Birthday fucking rule. Some of the best riffing of their eras and they never got ANY mainstream appeal. Yusuke Chiba even has the perfect late 90s stoner rock voice like early QOTSA and Kyuss.
Been getting into Japanese rock lately. Stuff I like so far? The Pillows, No Buses, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, The Birthday, 9mm Parabellum Bullet, MasuDore. Anymore j-rock similar I should check out? Unbelievably blown away but the technical proficiency japanese bands have. Might not speak the language but the way those little bastards play has got me hooked.
