Favorite Japanese music?

^^^^
YES i love them alllllllll
Do you have any favorite songs you’d be willing to share?? I like Echo…i mean, haha, so many favorites…Nurse Cafe, Sister Archetype Engine…damg can keep going and going

I literally found him after I last replied to this thread but I have been listening Yonezu Kenshi (米津玄師) almost nonstop. All of his songs are bangers. Some of my favorites are 感電, Lemon, and Flamingo (all three of those songs are from his most recent album).
BNHA fans might recognize ピースサイン.

Love me some BiSH.

Aina just released a solo album and then another EP like a few weeks later. Both are really good.

I’ve always loved Boris. They have a rather large discography that’s quite varied and interesting, but Pink is maybe good to start with. Their collaboration with Sunn is also very good

I’m also a fan of Eve, Mafumafu, Sayuri and Yorushika, even bought some CDs from JP.

Here some of my jewels, that have not been mentioned yet (I think)

[btw, Yunomi has a large song collection on soundcloud]

~T :lion:

I will listen to anything Yunomi touches.

I like Japanese speedcore, specifically by Kobaryo or M1DY. the problem with their songs is that they don’t usually have lyrics :sweat_smile:

i don’t listen to daoko too often (i was introduced to her by dragalia, don’t listen to much of her other music) and i only clicked this song to get it out of my recommendations, but i actually really enjoyed it.

I listen to a lot of touhou doujin music, but my favorites among all of it is probably some of the works of RD-Sounds

It’s pretty mainstream at this point and he’s been mentioned earlier in this thread…but I really love Yasutaka Nakata. He is mainly known for Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and PERFUME these days, (and I love Kyary’s music) but his work as CAPSULE is incredible.

One of his absolute best:

In terms of the music he does for Kyary, I think this is an underrated one:

I tend to listen to J-Pop more than any other genre and he’s a big reason why, and I’m excited to listen to some Kyary and understand it eventually. She sings pretty slowly and clearly so I imagine she’s not too hard to understand.

the majority of them are bandori songs because their music makes about probably 90% of my playlist :slight_smile:
