/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I just popped a zit that was on my chin.

>>10016540
Dude, that's nasty. How much pus came out? A lot or a little?

>>10016540
Did pus come out?

>>10016550
Very very little luckily. Never doing that again.

>>10016554
Well, that's good. My pimples usually get big so I have to pop them...

denpa erryday
ave;new project and side protea my favorites.

>>10016554
I hate when there's a lot because I basically have to wash my whole face. I'm not sure if this is true, but I always worry leaving pus on my face will grow another zit.

>>10016564
Better safe than sorry.

>>10016563
Thanks bro

>>10016563
Ave;new is awful, how can you even tolerate them?

I like ZIT.

>>10016587
>>10016563
Is it safe to call denpa a type of Akihabara Pop? While it does not suit my tastes I certainly want to know more about it. It's more of a morbid curiosity at this point, I really need to know more.

>>10016587
Hearing that from a MOSAIC.WAV hurts my heart.

>>10016651
I guess so, MOSAIC.WAV called themselves akiba-pop, and well, (modern) denpa is pretty much tied to all the craze around akiba.

>>10016691
MOSAIC.WAV fan*

>>10016651
I never thought about it, but Akiba Pop is really good. Much better than new;ave. New;ave is a new technique to rape your ears until they bleed. I don't even know how anon can enjoy it.

Why does /jp/ like denpa and metal so much? Fuck this shit.

Off-topic as HECK question:

Why does popular music have bonus tracks when it's released in Japan? I get that karaoke is more popular there, but it's not just karaoke tracks. They get bonus content from Western bands that Western fans have to important or illegally download.

>>10016711
>important
import

>>10016529
>Higurashi
>anime
I wish you were dead, OP.

>>10016691
I see, I'm going to look deeper into this now that I know where and what to look for. Maybe I'll find some "Akiba Pop" band/group that'll suit my tastes better. Also have you ever listened to Tetsu's work? Classy as hell man, makes me want to look at the sunset or something cliche like that.

>>10016691
I'm sorry anon I just can't tolerate that TOO HAPPY style of ave;new. And I still listen to it. Maybe I got used to it. Here, have this. My favorite Denpa album. I hate it and I love it at the same time.

>>10016726
I only watched it because of how awful it was, have yet to play the VNs, but I'm sure they're much better. Please excuse my bandwagoning faggotry, in exchange have this, or maybe it'll make matters worse.

>>10016699
I wish more doujin metal would actually get uploaded.

X JAPAN and hide.

>>10016699
Because denpa is obviously geared towards /jp/ individuals.

http://denpa.uni.me/lyrics_totemotomotachi.html

>>10016750
I understand how it may not be enjoyable for most people, but that doesn't make them awful. The over-the-top-ness is what makes them denpa I guess.

Also MOSAIC.WAV are pretty good, I've been listening to their ココナナ and ストレスFree Style all day every day.

>>10016729
Classic as fuck. What are the lyrics about?

>>10016770
Are they Hair Metal or Metal? This is important.

Anyone here like Cali Gari btw? Yeah it's Visual Kei but it's pretty cool regardless.

Wait, why did you do that? It's like reading the summary of a book just to laugh at how awfully summarized it is.

If you haven't read said book before reading the crappy summary, well... Huge spoilers and shit. The surprise/mystery factor goes to hell.

Higurashi anime is enjoyable, but the VN is way, way better (except the Mahjong scenes, they are awful shit). Deen should have gone FULL retard Umineko style, so no one would have paid attention to their shitty Higurashi "adaptation" ;_;

>>10016798
Basically it's the guy singing how it's always his lover that's on his mind when everything goes wrong. Be it from far away or very close, he can feel her there. Very cliche I know, but I still love it regardless, and it fit like a glove for the series too. The title Itsumo Anata ga means Always You or something very akin to it. Youtube used to have quite a few english translation videos of the song but Sunrise being the jews they are deleted most of them. Feels bad mang because I know they'll do the same for the rest that are left.

First one sounds like crabcore, but it's actually pretty fucking good
The second one is fucking brutal man, I dig it.
The third one reminds me of this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ogEGHpUeCk

Except much more brutal. Nice.

Thanks to this thread I will finally expand my tastes in Jap music. Thank you for making me less pleb.

Got this from an /mu/ thread the other day.
Pretty good.

>>10016811
Their style is pretty polyhedric, especially hide's solo songs (who was a very polyhedric and creative artist).

Btw X JAPAN most famous songs (Endless Rain, Forever Love) are symphonic metal, in a typical Yoshiki's style.

I see nothing wrong with this thread, everyone made good contributions and talked about their tastes.

This one, caught my interest and has become a favorite
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFT_paBGN5o

Taishi, Nhato, Irus, Clean Tears, LAZ, ziki_7 for electro/trance/dnb. They've all done touhou, but also more and more original stuff.

Utsu-P is always good. Poyatchio puts out my favorite denpa albums.

So Japanese music is not Japanese culture? Really faggot? Do you even read the shit you post?

>/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>>10017579
Since when is /jp/ the Japan/General board?

>>10017686
We mostly talk about doujin music, so that's okay.

>>10017579
Son, it's time to sit down and stop posting.

>>10017888
Its time for you to fuck off back to r9k

>>10017902
Why would I go there?

There should be denpa-free /jp/ music threads sometimes.

>>10018148
But most music threads around here are denpa-free because they have their own dedicated threads.

Southern All Stars are classic.

>>10018148
There has been like 50 /mu/ threads in the last week alone.

>>10018148
