Anyone Like Japanese Music?

[smurphy]

Most j pop/ j rock acts i know i heard in anime and games. Two acts stand out for me, High and mighty color(Ichirin no hana especially) and Asian kung fu generation. Anything composed by Yoko Kanno is good as well, especially Kiseki no umi which is now one of my favourite songs.

I Love Gackt, HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, Fictionjunction Yuuka, etc...LOL

[GypsyElder]

I like The Pillwos, not sure if they are catigorized a Japanese,but they are great.

Yeah, that's it for me too, other than game music the Pillow's are the only thing I listen to Japanese outside of the a game or any TV show.

I listen to a few other artists that that sing in other languages but not too many, just specifics.

[checkitjess]

yeah, yeah, me...i really love listening to any japanese songs..especially from anime series and drama...i remember when i was in high school i memorize a japanese song which is a theme of FUSHIGI YUUGI...i sing it every time i feel board with knowing the meaning..hehehe

Yeah, I like some JP music. But I don't really keep up with bands in particular any more than I do for domestic music (which is not at all). I listen to a lot of rock instrumental stuff. Think Guilty Gear/Daisuke Ishiwatari kind of music. I'm a huge fan of B'z, but there aren't a TON of artists that I follow much. It's mostly just individual songs I hear that stick out to me, the majority of them I hear in games or anime. I have a very eclectic taste in music, so I like a variety of things from Akatsuki no Kuruma to the final boss ver. of Burn My Dread. I just don't like things that have too much of a pop sound to them.

A friend of mine has also turned me on to Vocaloid "chorus" renditions, some of which are just amazing. My favorite is definitely Love is War. AnotherNicoUploader had it up on youtube, I think.

I luv japanese and russian music so it would be a great help to me if i ... if you google: japanese contemporary christian music That brings up a few sites. hope that helps.

[Furore]

I don't seek jap music out, but I have loved some of the soundtracks I've gotten free with videogames that had Jap music on them. Atlus published games in particular often have a nice sound on their free OSTs.

[RENA VINSON]

ok l love japanese music mostly j-rock but i like a lil j-pop! whats your fav. japanese band and song? -Orange Range -malice mizer -Glay -L'arc~en~ciel -chemistry -Puffy Ami Yumi (err??)

[Block]

I enjoy some Japanese music. Most of it I hear through anime openings and the such, so I really don't get too much of it on a regular basis. Every now and then I'm granted with an amazing band. Like recently I was introduced to Theatre Brook via the Durarara opening. *See below*

[midgetbob]

This was a joke from a game I played... and then it became posted so much (almost to the point of Rick-Rolled) that it's now ingrained into me...

[Josh_R]

Lately I have became a pretty big fan of Girugamesh, and Larc' En Ciel. They are both very good bands...

[QUOTE=Zeqya;1219283]

Anyone likes japanese music? Post the names if you got any!
[/QUOTE]

Nightmare, Riyu Kosaka, Utada Hikaru, Tigarah, Mami Kawada, Rurutia, Nobuo Uematsu, BeforU

Sadly, those are the only ones i know....im trying to find more artists. I mostly get the artists from anime opening and closing themes.

[Marceil]

I've gotten bored waiting for new releases

so I've been digging into stuff I never thought I would. My most recent adds are

Dir en Grey
Screw
SuG

[Heartless Angel]

I'm a fan of Gackt, not much else for Japanese music I like though.

[Cloudluver101]

Hopefully I didnt already say this but check out Aural Vampire.

[Marceil]

yep Aural Vampire is pretty catchy/
so is "One ok Rock"

For those of you like anime related stuff only why not the theme songs from Death Note?
Both Billy in Despair (Zetsubou billy) and What's Up People are by "Maximum the Hormone"

The anime Darker than Black opening song is Howling by "Abingdon Boys School"

[Copperfire]

I do. But I don't get a chance to hear it often. Very rarely, in fact.

[chaosweapon]

I like songs by Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru and Gackt Camui. My favourite album is Guilty by Ayumi Hamasaki (most probably because of its rock overtones).

Gackt has some good songs like Lust for Blood, Longing and Redemption. He's a great singer as well as a good cosplayer. In fact I suggest that you take a look at his music videos.

Last but not least, I love Uematsu's music. His music is awesome especially the main themes. I missed his music in the last few Final Fantasy games. I'm really looking forward to the music of Final Fantasy XIV since he's going to be the main composer.

Yeah those themes are good but " The World" by Nightmare was the best opening theme for Death Note. I like the opening theme of the anime Shakugan no Shana. The song is Hishoku no Sora by Kawada Mami

[LIGHTNING_71013]

i like one japanese song named why by ayaka.

[chikala95]

I like quite a few!
Name-singer
Ai-Ai Otsuka
Life is like a boat-Rie fu
Tokyo-Yui
Love & Truth-Yui
D-Techno life-UVERworld
Butterfly-Ayumi Hamasaki(It isn't in japanese, but it is a japanese singer)
A song of storm and fire-Kajiura Yuki

[RENA VINSON]

[Heartless Angel]

I listen to a couple good German bands. Rammstein and Oomph ftw. And, just to stay on topic, my favorite Japanese songs.

YouTube - Gackt redemption

YouTube - Gackt - Longing

YouTube - Gackt - Returner ~Yami no Shuen~

[Ethan Blitzball King]

[yuki]

[Pixie]

I luuuurve Kyou Kara Mauo! I could listen to Arigatou all day =3 x

[Cloudluver101]

I've said it once and ill say it again. Listen to Aural Vampire people!! Theyre a really good, all-girl, j-rock band! The vocals are awesome too!

[tebian]

I'm a fan of Gackt, not much else for Japanese music I like though.

Have to agree. Just watch the Diabolos concert he did again. Who else would jump from the movie screen and ride right into the stadium on a horse with the band. Gackt is a great show man besides really good singer.
