>Too long
Its been like two days at most.

>>11875738
Must have missed it.
And it did not survive for longs it seems?

Found some interesting blogs that offer quite a lot of music - am I even allowed to post them here?

>>11875737
>>11875748

Why do 3d women in the 80s look so much worse than the 3d women of today???

>>11875757
Personal taste I guess, anon.
I prefer the more natural look over the modern overly doll looking faces.
I also heavily love the saturated colours and overall colour sheme of '80s and '70s photography.
Of course there are still a lot of beautiful woman toady, not going to argue.

More music:

She is famous for "こち亀".

Tragic stuff. Oh well.

懐メロ thread ?

>>11875832
Pretty much as for now.
But I am the only one posting most of it atm and I am just heavily into 80s Idol music.

Feel free to bump with enka etc aswell!
Would also love to read some imput of someone who gathers old goods.

I'll be off for an hour now sadly.
Leave me a suprise for later!

Laserdisc? Laserdiscs!

Kyouko Akimoto,circa1972.

>>11875838
I'm interested in that early 90s optimistic feel.

>>11875838
Man, thats such a tight photo.
Also, she is fucking hot.

>>11875838
I wish she was my kind teacher who gently shows me the lessons of life.

Secret of the Blue Water was great and I would go back in time, meet Morikawa Miho and thank her for singing the theme profusely

Magazine scans from the 90s that some kind anon posted a while ago.

I am back!

>>11875849
You are absolutly right, and there is more where this comes from. Most of them are inlays from her CDs.

>>11875870
*thumbs up*

>>11875874
>>11875842
wish we could relive that.
I also wish I still had one of those cameras.
I cannot quite grasp why but It feels photography from that age had a special vibe to it. And photos looked SO much better without this digital nonsense.

Anyway, some more music to keep you guys entertained:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7TCf1csQeQ&

Miho was also pretty good, thanks for reminding me with "Blue Water" - Ill also check out those magazines, thanks.

>>11875893
Well, I just finished downloading the scans.
I have to say I did NOT expect those kind of magazines...
Buuut, I guess Ill keep them. Whatever you can get your hands on, right?

>>11875844
hi william! are you no longer ban evading??

>>11875785
muh old waifu

>>11875831
It's a shame that a bunch of videos related to her have been taken down recently.

>>11877090
yeah, I know what you mean.
Happens to a lot of different artists from that time.
Thats actually is what made me start collecting/buying/downloading what I can in case of not being able to view any video anymore someday.

I just strongly recommend you guys build up a decent music library and get everything you like listening to from youtube, radio etc.
I have a bad feeling that work from artists, especially music is not going to be freely viewable for that much longer.

Hopefully some kind souls are going to post some more fine music that I don't know of yet, thats one reason I opened the thread, heh.

For the time being, enjoy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8gadiIPM-E

Sadly no cover of it atm, its still on my "wish list".

Hah, I just found something.
I love the upbeat sound mixed with the slight latin tunes.
There havent been many tracks lately that made me want to stand up and dance, haha.

And here we go:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k05xjNsRtEk

Curse you, google. For only having shitty quality pictures.

There's just something I find really attractive about Japanese girls from the 80's and 90's. I don't know what.

>>11877183
Now you are talking!
But dont narrow down your view, many girls from that age look brilliant, from other countries aswell, must have been a mix of this certain lifestyle + the quality photography.

If you enjoyed my last contribution: >>11877171

Continuing the party with a classic:

I'll bump some more akina scans.
You should have enough music for now.
Can't throw out all the good stuff in one go.

And the last one.

>>11876076

What kind of magazines were they?

>>11877340
lewd ones. very lewd actually.

>>11877342
H-how lewd?

>>11877349
It was probably those quasi legal idol magazines with naked 16 year olds in them some guy was spamming a while back.

>>11877881
pour one out for Yukko

>>11877881
everytime I see her face I feel like breaking out in tears. she the world at her fingertips but then she died. it sucks she would have gone so far.

>>11877881
So why she killed herself?

>>11877896
some say molestation, some say unrequited love but those could all be rumors we don't know which one of those assumption's is the most plausible.

>>11877896
No idea, there's tons and tons of rumors about her suicide. Most said that she was sexually abused in the industry, some said she killed herself since she couldn't date someone, yet a popular one was that Yukiko was schizo and despite what doctors said, she was forced to perform until she started seeing shit, which drove her to suicide

>>11877881
>>11877896

I still have the video about her suicide on my bookmark, it's weird since the suicide happened like a few hours later and her body was still there under a white sheet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7cPgL70fHo

>>11877901
>>11877906
My money is on sexual abuse by balding fat faceless Japanese men.

>>11877906
the schizo one sounds very plausible. In some of her performances she looks disturbed you can see it in her eyes.

Why the fuck hasn't Zard been mentioned yet? I'm disappointed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuazDkX-iuE

Zard forever <3

Izumi Sakai has got to be one of the most beautiful singers ever..

Evening, /jp/. Enjoy some Martin Suzuki.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEmVOmfZAZA

I've searched high and low and not a single one of this man's albums appears to be uploaded on the internet. Lovely voice. Sung a lot of country tunes as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL9kcGra9Rs

I love masayuki so much hes such a great singer.

>>11878525
Jun's fucking great. I can go through tons of her albums without getting bored.

What are some great 80s anime/Japanese TV shows to watch?

>>11879117
Kimagure Orange Road.

>>11879117
There's a lot of good Shimura Ken stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KacgfiVO1mg

Watching Ama-chan and seeing Natsuko's flashbacks to her high school days makes me feel really nostalgic, even though I was born in the 90's.
What's a good romance drama/movie from the 80's?

>>11879117
Space Sheriff Gavan

>>11875737
Did she ever play reverse traps in anything?

>>11879117

Kimagure Orange Road, Maison Ikkoku, Urusei Yatsura, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Machine Robo - Revenge of Cronos and all the first two Gundam show (MSG 0079 and Zeta Gundam, not New translation) are recommended animes.

For show, you can try the Space Sheriffs like >>11879524 said, Kamen Rider Black and Black RX are pretty cool too.

Any advice on buying Laserdisc players?

I bought this recently, I won't get it for a few weeks but I'm looking forward to listening to some proper late '80s idol music.

>>11881665

Forgot to add the Dirty Pair to the anime list.

>>11881821
I love this album you'll probably enjoy it it's a good listen.

Cool an 80s jpop thread.
Any of you visit idollica.com?

Holy shit, thank you /jp/. I've just discovered my love for retro Japanese music.

If anyone cares, I've uploaded this 2-disc album of 80's JPop hits for everyone to enjoy.

Glad my thread gave you the opportunity to listen to these timeless tracks.

This is for you:

I actually think their live performances are way better than the studio albums.

I am not going to post any more tonight.
I am tired as hell and my desklamp just burned through 3 light bulbs!

I'm not OP but that's how I got into old JPop music. It all just started on youtube, then shit started snowballing.

>>11882451
Hm.
This was my first retro thread I created. I dont claim to know shit, I've just been listening to this kind of music for some years. Neither do I reblog anything.
And I cant think of anything more convenient than sharing youtube links.

Instead of being butthurt for random reasons I actually set this up for people to enjoy.
Sometimes I just dont understand you guys.

>>11882492
Just typical /jp/ autism, carry on.

Approx. 20% of the links are down, though.
Great hunting.

>>11884348
Not >11882721, but thanks for the links.

Anyone else think the OP for the Dirty Pair OVA sounds like Thriller?

>>11881665
How about ZZ and CCA?

>>11884632

They're pretty good too, but many people complain about the fact that ZZ don't take itself seriously for its first half, and that CCA is too short for what they tried to tell.

>>11884348
Original requester here. Many many thanks.

>>11884652
>>11884652
CCA requires a bit of foreknowledge for it to make sense. For all it's problems, though, the beautiful animation makes it definitely worth a look.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaCQTXAGToE

I like this one

>>11875826
Those dance moves. haha...

I grew up in the 90's as in early childhood. For the most part I really think I can say that most of us who were in my same situation were given 80's tv shows, outfits, movies, and music, since almost nothing good came from the 90's media other than the japanese shows on FOX Kids.
For this reason I am always in immersed ecstasy when anything resembling or from the 80's is in my general vicinity. My eyes and brain beat at one with my heart as if in each stroke I am on a visual high embedded in my conscience. The 70's have started to have the same effect.
1980's Japanese and American movie collaboration projects or Japanese themed are the greatest cinema to have ever existed. Anyone thinking otherwise on this board is simply wrong. Your argument is invalid.

Gung ho is only but one of at least 200 that exist whether cheasy or not. NOW DEAL WITH IT.

>>11886703
You're on a roll tonight aren't you Sean

Sounds nice though, I'll keep looking for more.
I dont know of that many male singers anyway.
90% are female.

>>11878100
Been searching for a while aswell now.
Nothing, not a single album.
This is madness.

As stated in the OP, if anyone has something from REBECCA, please let me know.

Kikuchi Momoko has not been mentioned yet:

Legit question here. Did late 70s / early 80s anime release soundtracks at the time of their release and if so were they on vinyl record?

>>11890207

Yes they did and yes they were on both vinyl and cassette, then CD for the late 80s releases.

got any retro AVs?
i heard back then they weren't as strict about girls being +18.

Who don't remember him?

Does any one know a good resource for '80s idol pop music?

I have found some sites but when I am looking for specific artists I am seldom able to find anything online. :(

Damn now I want there to be a stream or a synchtube of 80s japanese stuff. Commercials, music, anime, and tv shows.

>>11897506
hm, well why don't we post something like favourite...
>song
>idol
>series/anime
>commercial

Best with links/pictures and why we like them.
That way we would give the thread a bit more stuff to listen to/watch at.
I think I'll post my list later when I am at home.

>>11897497
There are some forums which require registration.
But they do not offer downloads
The two links I posted a while back had the biggest list I found to date.

>>11897586
Yeh I have already found those sites you mention. Probably I found them from you on the /mu/sic board. Thanks for responding anyway. :)

>>11897555
Ok, so I guess I'll start.

>Favourite Songs:
Saito yuki - shiroi honno
Already posted that earlier.

Off course - Yes-no
Posted another songs of them in here a few days back.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY6pDFQa-Y0

>Favourite Idol:
In terms of look and cuteness: Saito yuki hands down. Dat face. You know what her face also reminds me? That one of the guy who played musashi in the historical movies. Could be his daughter just by the looks.

In terms of music: Nakamori akina.
Been posting a lot of her scans already and I just love her sheer amout of music that she made. And not only that, 90% of her songs are actually fucking good.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD51ug0bnEQ

>Favourite Series/anime
Since I dont really watch any anime, this category is pretty empty.
Last Drama I saw was "Orange days"
Its not really that old, but 10 years is still quite a bit.
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Orange_Days

>What brought me to japanese '80s music?
Densha Otoko drama with this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFF7FCfQTyI

At that point I was already listening to western 60-80s music for years on end. Since I was 12.
So the transition or rather expansion of my musicrange was only natural. I probably haven't listened to any new music for over 10 years now. I couldn't name a single song of todays charts.

Thats me.
Eager to read your posts.

>>11898031
More songs from me. I just feel like posting.
Those are properly less know.

It is really a shame that she died so early. Sad.

>>11898031
I'm more into the old 70s/80s anime and TV, as well as commercials and technology, though I'm willing to branch out into other stuff. This probably sounds stupid to you guys but what are some must listen to songs from the time?
Also this synchtube/stream should happen, it would be awesome to discuss stuff while watching/listening to them

"It's a shame that they died so early" seems to be a common trend in these threads.

I swer I'm not a nostalgiafag...but why are anime and manga art so much cooler in the past?

>>11907492

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHW6saIqk2Y
Doesn't get more 80s

>>11907492

Maybe because of a heavy foreign influence. Pic relate -- Japanese Sci-Fi fans loved Starship Trooper.

>>11908164
Can someone give me mecha recommendations, other than the obvious Gundam and Macross series? I know City Hunter and Mazinger Z are up there

Can you dig 80's posters?

>>11908661

Machine Robo: revenge of Cronos (pic related), Ideon (the show first, then the two films in production order), Fang of the Sun Dougram, Votoms, Mospeada, Giant Gorg, Aura Battler Dunbine, Galient, Xabungle, Braiger and Daioja for the 80s series, Zambot 3, Daitarn 3, Combattler V, Voltes V, Daimos, Gordian, Gaiking, Gakeen, Steel Jeeg, Great Mazinger, UFO Robot Grendizer (the very first mecha show i watched as a kid), Uchuu Majin Daikengo, Mekander Robo, Getter Robo & Getter Robo G, Raideen the brave, and don't forget the best Ginguiser for the 70s series.
You can also watch 80 OVA series like Gunbuster, Dangaioh, Iczer-One and Project A-Ko.
There are other series, but I didn't watched anything from them.

>>11909525
Amazed by just how many mecha series were made, considering it's nearly dead these days.

>>11909525
>Galient
One of the best anime OP song

>>11911665

Mospeada have a really catchy opening too:

You'd have shift this two decades back for it to be nostalgia worthy.

It sure is pleasing to see those kind of thread around. Here is one of the single I am the most fond of.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4wswtWFQtI

A few scans from SDF Macross: Best Hit Series from 1983. I got it for 10 bucks at a book store a few yeas ago , as it was there, collecting dust. The owner wondered how it ever arrived in his store.

>>11927209

>>11927194
When you say a book store do you mean one in Japan? If not that's quite a find!

>>11927224

No, it was a local book store in France.

I grew up in the 90's as in early childhood. For the most part I really think I can say that most of us who were in my same situation were given 80's tv shows, outfits, movies, and music, since almost nothing good came from the 90's media other than the japanese shows on FOX Kids.
For this reason I am always in immersed ecstasy when anything resembling or from the 80's is in my general vicinity. My eyes and brain beat at one with my heart as if in each stroke I am on a visual high embedded in my conscience. The 70's have started to have the same effect.
1980's Japanese and American movie collaboration projects or Japanese themed are the greatest cinema to have ever existed. Anyone thinking otherwise on this board is simply wrong. Your argument is invalid.

Gung ho is only but one of at least 200 that exist whether cheasy or not. NOW DEAL WITH IT.

Any site with a lot of pictures of japanese girls in the 80's/70's/60's?

Also why were girls so much hotter in the past?

>>11927452
Being the same as you I am in complete agreement with what you have said. My latest fad is to not only watch anime and OVAs but also rewatch cartoons I grew up with that I had no idea were actually made in Japan. Someone yesterday linked me the Toei adaptation of Little Women that someone had uploaded on Youtube and I just love the style and the fact that back then studios were willing to adapt something other than Manga.

>>11927452
The 1990s had a lot more good cartoons than the 1980s.

>>11927655
>>11927665
Have you any movie recommendations that meet my description? I can dish out a few here.

Gung Ho
Tokyo Pop
Black Rain
Shogun
Karate Kid (Yes he's Chinese, but its still Japanese themed and other Japanese actors/actresses are in it)
The Red Crow & The Ghost Ship (The Jim Henson Company worked with a Japanese studio in creating a puppetry movie. There is at this time no source for torrents nor vhs copy except in Japan. I'll try to find it in Japan.)
Unfortunately these are the only ones I have off the top of my head. There was this one college made film on netflix, once, where a Japanese girl wants a green card so she marries an American-Japanese boy, but things fall apart because he is so immature. In the end you are lead to believe he'll go after her and she almost asks him to truly fall in love with her. Im sad I can't remember the movie name.

I have several tracks saved, but none really can touch what you posted. I listen to that song you posted quite a lot. So, here is what I have to offer. Again, not to par with the sadness you have though in that song.

That's because Azicon was a Azuma Hideo-themed event.

>>11932491
Speaking of animations for Cons what are some great ones to watch besides the obvious DAICON IV?

>>11934493

I prefered DAICON III to the IVth, maybe because of the Starship Trooper's power armor being the main villain. There's Shibacon II that is pretty cool too.

this is not as retro as 70s stuff but can anyone confirm if this blanket is legit? it's a 90s collectible sailor moon item. the colors are right and there's a copyright and everything but i can't find this blanket anywhere else and i wanna know if it's legit before i drop a benjamin on this thing. (i prob might bid anyway, it looks good enough). i have a huge vintage collection of stuff (mazinger, gettarobot, candy candy, voltes v, even timote shampoo, etc). i'll post some pics later.

Not to derail the thread, but does aniybody know of 80´s female singers whose music mixed modern instrumentation with traditional like flutes, shamisen or drums?

Just listened to the Image Song of Nanako SOS. I can't believe that they got away with that song ai no lolita

>>11938227
I'm more amazed by the fact that it was sung by the legendary Yamamoto Masayuki.

>>11875962
Old film cameras are cheap as fuck nowadays. You can get a decent one and some nice lenses for like $150.

>>11875962
Those old cameras are still amazing. When things went digital, some aspects of cameras actually became worse. For instance, those old cameras almost always had a pentaprism instead of a pentamirror. The pentaprism is an actual crystal that flips and reverses the image, and the pentamirror is just mirrors arranged to do the same thing, but compared to a prism the mirrors are way more dim. The prism is what gives cameras the usual triangular hump in front of the viewfinder.

And until recently it was nearly impossible to find a digital camera without an anti-aliasing filter. The filter is basically a piece of glass to eliminate moire in images, caused by the arrangement of pixels on the sensor. The glass eliminates/lessens moire, but you lose a bit of sharpness in the end. Film is organic and random, so there was no need for any sort of filter. Nikon has a few cameras without the filter, so you still get moire in rare cases, and Fuji has an alternative pixel layout for their sensors that eliminates moire.

Canon also had a really interesting autofocus system on their later 35mm SLRs. Instead of cycling through the focus points or hoping the camera guesses what you want to focus on (as you have to do with cameras now), the AF system would look at where your eye was looking in the viewfinder and focus accordingly. I never used it but I've heard mixed things about it. Some people said it didn't work with glasses, some said it worked amazingly well. Canon dropped it from their DSLRs because of battery power issues.

Speaking of batteries, older SLRs either don't need batteries, or have batteries that last for months or years. For some cameras the battery was only needed for the metering system, so you could still use the camera if the battery died. Some cameras that used electronic shutters had one 'emergency' shutter speed that was entirely mechanical for use if the battery died. Neat stuff.

>>11938357
Also, the lenses. Good god, older lenses are a pleasure to use. The focus rings are so smooth and the aperture rings are so nice and clicky. They had more accurate distance scales too, and had depth of field scales as well.

Going back to viewfinders, the older ones were bigger and brighter as well. The mirror in modern cameras is often a bit transparent because the AF sensor is usually behind/below the mirror. When older cameras had no AF the mirrors could be actual mirrors, so the image shown in the viewfinder was nice and bright, especially with a bright/fast/large aperture lens. The image size of the viewfinder was often bigger too, to help with manually focusing and they often had manual focusing aids. With an older camera if you put a slower lens on the camera, looked through the viewfinder, and then put on a faster lens and looked through the viewfinder again, the image would actually be brighter for the brighter lens and depth of field would be more accurately displayed for the two lenses in the viewfinder. Nowadays focusing screens actually aren't very bright and are fixed to show around f/4, even with a faster lens. That means if you put any lens faster than f/4 on the camera, you won't notice a difference in the viewfinder. The image won't be brighter, and the depth of field won't be accurately shown in the viewfinder. However, if you put a lens slower than f/4 on there, you'll notice it get darker. Why this change was made, I have no idea. Manufacturers did start coming out with slower lenses around the same time, so maybe they figured nobody would notice or something. I don't know, I'm not an engineer. There's a nice market for aftermarket focusing screens so some people from eBay go out and buy older cameras, cut the focusing screens to fit in modern DSLRs, and sell them.

Sorry if I'm rambling and sorry if these posts aren't very coherent. I'm a bit bored at the moment.

Is there a recording of the specific version of Serafuku wo Nugasanaide performed by Onyako club at this particular concert?

http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Zenkoku_Concert_Abuna~i_Kagai_Jyuugou

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwm8Zskinsg

I have the normal recording and the Eurobeat one but I like this one the best and I can't find a decent recording short of ripping off youtube which is last resort tier. I'm looking for either an album or single with the mp3 (preferably 320kbps but I'll take anything) or the laser disc release and I'll just rip the audio from the video.

>>11947060
amazing. after browsing some more off this video on YT, I founds some other cool stuff.
OP says thanks!

Me too. Thanks /jp/.

I've been watching Juzo Itami's films recently which is probably what piqued my interest in this thread. He's definitely my favourite 80's director although it doesn't seem like he had much competition considering most of his contemporaries were making pink films at the time.

I'm looking for Kyomoto Masaki and a group called Kyan Kyan, but I can't find any of their stuff except for on YouTube other than like their wedding video and a couple of other things.

Pic related, their son.

>>11944491
I don't know any old stuff but the company that Momokuro is under does a lot of that. Babymetal and Ebidan have songs with traditional instruments used in them. I love that style.

Here's some Nakayama Miho:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEaka4-sIlM

I started listening to Matsuko Mawatari because I watched YuYu Hakusho a load of times. Her music is excellent, but I can't find her debut album anywhere. Nice Unbalance may end up one of my favorites, though!

>>11951040
forgot pic! She's visually divine.

>>11947082
>Serafuku wo Nugasanaide
Man, and people tought the lyrics of "Like a virgin" was too risquee?
Anyway, there are not idols like Yukiko anymore. Love her smile, but she also had that sad, haunting look, so special

>>11897641
I love me some Moritaka Chisato. My favorites are The Stress, 17sai, Wataresebashi, Kono Machi, and Hae Otoko

Shes so uber talented as a musician and not just another idol. I think she plays as many instruments as she can in her songs.

And she has some of the best legs on a Japanese person I have ever seen.

Moritaka Chisato

>>11944491
Yeah. I doubt I'll ever meet her in Japan or establish enough of a career in film to work with her, but just astounding work all around in all her fields. Kareeoke her song sometime. Have to learn the lyrics.

>>11878525
started to really like her sisters stuff:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL5gm0ZGf4M

her later albums are boring, but Chiwaki Mayumis first album is still my favourite album of the 80s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl48ddgngpo

>>11951183
She does have nice legs

>>11938357
>>11938431
That was interesting anon, even though I know next to nothing about photography.

>>11959671

I second this.

>>11938295
>like $150.
Less. I picked up a canon FTb + 50/1.8 for $25, got a 35/2.5 in that mount for free, a 70-210/4.5-5.6 for free, Canon AT-1 + 50/1.8 and Motor Drive for $35, ect.

You can pick up cameras and lenses cheap if you hit up flea markets and yard sales, you just have to make sure everything works and is clean before you buy anything.

Old Canons use a different mount than the newer Canons, so the old FD mount is basically a dead system and usually pretty cheap. It's really once you get outside the range of normal lenses(50/1.8, 35/2.8, 70-200/4-5.6) that everyone would have had that the price starts to kick up. Ultrawides and fisheyes still demand $500+, as do ultra fast lenses like the 50/1.2.
>>11938431
I still don't understand why they removed the aperture rings. It's basically the perfect place for them.

>>11875737
i know a guy who owns that on vinyl

>>11963991
Who knows. It's a shame. At least Fuji still has aperture rings on some of their new lenses.

Will he sell it to me? Not OP.

>>11965004

That's a beautiful pic you have here anon! I wasn't really interested in photography before, but with have been posted here >>11938357 and here >>11938431 , I'm pretty much trying to get as much info as possible on how to get into photography without being a lamer.
Thanks a lot.

Gonna make some tight vaporwave from stuff in this thread

>>11971599
Whatever you end up doing, just remember to have fun. Cameras are pretty neat, especially older ones. Here's a leaf shutter that I think looks pretty cool. Most old cameras are filled with cogs, springs, and various metal pieces and look a bit similar to this on the inside. Then there are 'newer' cameras with metering systems that have older style of thick wires running through certain areas, but they mostly are like this on the inside, with lots of tiny parts all working together.

>>11971835
Okay I'm stopping now for real, sorry. This is to show a camera with a metering system and how the wiring looked, because I think it looks neat.

>>11975465
amazing. someone should open an indie/retro company re-building these old treasures and selling them. Probably crowd or self-funded obviously.

>>11978293

Yup, or maybe have a way to produce them, ship them worldwide for enthusiasts, with the exact same aesthetic.
Too bad the guy who's selling this to me say it has problems with a green/yellowish picture. Maybe it has dry joints.

>>11980932
Pitch seems lower on that one. Is it lowered to escape copyright?

>>11980946

Maybe, or because of the turntable pitch control (I'm assuming that it was released on vinyl).

>>11980965
As far as I am aware it was only ever released on vinyl, what with it being from 1984. Download the flac from the link I posted before and compare if you'd like to hear the difference for yourself.

>>11980968
The single itself only ever got an vinyl release, but the songs Nanako SOS and Ai no Lolita did end up on the compilation album 続・山本正之作品大全集 which was released in the 90s on CD.

I can't get the tags to work properly with foobar. In the folder it looks like all the filenames are fine and none of the japanese is messed up, but in foobar its just a bunch of ?????? in place of kanji

I've never had this problem before, I was thinking it might be because they are .flac but really I don't have any idea, would anyone know a solution to this? None of the stuff I found in google worked for me

>>12018539
>>12018539
had this happen a couple of times. Not much that you can do. If you have the language packet installed, which you probably have if kanjis/kanas are displayed correctly elsewhere, the only option left is to manually rename it.

Give this a try. Great tunes.

Foobar isn't reading the tags properly because the tags aren't formatted properly for Foobar. I experienced this with the TLMC. You need to download a plugin for foobar that lets you change the character encoding of the tags, and then you need to set it to batch edit the tags character encodings of the jap musics

Oh thanks a lot, I appreciate !

I got Mignonne, Romantique, Aventure, Cliche, Signifie, カイエ and her album with Mr Sakamoto.

I may have got all of her work now, no ?

I think they're good but there's this one compilation album of their songs being covered/remixed by other artists that blows everything out of the water.

I'm afraid you're still missing quite a bit.

Not sure if there are still any seeders but this might help, seems like it has a comprehensive list of all her albums.

I tried looking for any of the songs on the remix album online but couldn't find any. But it's called Music and Words of Pizzicato Five and it has some really nice tracks with Miharu Koshi, Minami Yoshitaka and Qypthone.

Found this, not sure if it's legit though. It's uploaded to filecloud.cc, not sure if it's just me but i can't seem to download it. Might need a premium account.

Any help would be appreciated. Ozaki is too charming, absolutely love him.
