Catserole Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I didn't know many of these besides Nocturnal Bloodlust, weirdly enough (did I see them on here? Maybe). Fun thread, I'm enjoying the recommendations! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alaska Native Manitou Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Wow, someone posted a Fiction Junction song. It happens that Yuki Kajiura is my favorite composer in the world. Of many meaningful songs, the one that touches me most personally might be: Fiction. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calliers Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 This is my favourite Japanese song, with Yung Lean and Bladee (Yung Lean being my favourite artist of all time): 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alaska Native Manitou Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I hope you don't mind if I reminisce a little. When I was younger some of the cartoons I saw were anime, but I didn't know that & it was common practice back then to replace the music on imported shows. So my 1st encounter with Japanese music came by another route. A Japanese-American family had a garage sale. I bought a vertically oriented image that looked like it was painted on small slats of wood, & 2 vinyl records--yes, I'm that old. I couldn't read Japanese back then, but there was a little English on it, enough to learn that both singers were named Yuki. One was Katsuragi Yuki, who sang rock songs in a mixture of Japanese & English. I remember thinking from the lyrics that one of the songs might be called Motor City, & the name of another must be I'm Just Sitting on the Edge of the Ocean. The other was Saori Yuki, who sang traditional sounding music in Japanese only. Unfortunately I can't name any of the songs from that album now, but this reminds me of them: Tayatan. I liked them both very much & they sparked my interest in Japanese culture long, long ago. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another Sky Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 @harmonic turquoise What a great thread I have found! Thank you for this.🥰 Everyone knows so much about Japanese songs that I too am surprised and happy. I like "Cocco" and this song is a collaboration with "Quruli"(くるり), and I used to sing it at karaoke when I was in high school. Spoiler @Black TourmalineYou really know a lot about Japanese popular culture and I always enjoy your information. Thank you very much.🎶 (Wow.. I didn't know anything about Yoshimotozaka 46. And it's super cool!) ................ @2SpiritCherokee Princess I love Yuki Kajiura too. She has created many fantastic soundtracks. Spoiler I love LOVE PSYCHEDELICO's music Her vocals sound mysterious because of the mix of English and Japanese. Spoiler 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OptimisticPessimist Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I forgot about this song until recently as i couldn't remember the band's name and when i tried searching, nothing came up but found as at some point i had added it to my spotify and i had even searched on there but it was hiding. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fantastic mx. foxglove Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I found out a few months ago that I absolutely adore Japanese punk rock. I've been listening to a lot of this playlist on spotify: I think my favourite group that I've discovered would have to be PAN. So I guess I'll share two of my favourites from them: 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Virelai Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I discovered Kyu Sakamoto a year ago. His music was a lot of like the Western "soul" artists of the late 50s and early 60s (think The Platters) with that style and instrumentation, but Japanese language and tonality (or is modality the correct word?). Neat. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exoplanetarian Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 So much... I love Kalafina and Yuki Kajiura and omg - Yoko Kanno, here in a cover by Yu Tamaki because trombone And this particular track by Dir en grey still kills me every time 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
