Yunosuke and WaMi is forming a unit together called Awairo under the Sinsekai Record label. Their first single Pale&Deep is releasing in two days.

New Goto Mariko Acoustic Violence POP album「未来」will release on December 6th, CD only available at 3 or 4 stores. Probably no streaming for a while. Old people and their old ways...

It's out.

>>44973325
Yea I just realized after posting >>44970796 that it's more suited for the utaite/vsinger general (or even vocaloid since Yunosuke is a vocaP). But it's still something music related and I thought people here would like to know about it.

Hakushi has a pretty neat cover of Love Zukkyun but I wouldn't really put her in the same genre as anon posted (which is hardcore). Posting the cover anyway since I like it.

Ushio Kensuke (agraph, soundtrack, collaborations with Denki Groove, LAMA)
Uchiyama Yuua (Dots, RAY, solo, her blogs and her work in general, her passion for idols, and music in general really comes through everything she does)

Also, lots of people mention Number Girl, but no one mentions toddle, weird.
Also also, Bugy Craxone is extremely underrated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-m7F--DPIE

>>45072396
>but no one mentions toddle
I personally don't think toddle is any good despite also thinking Hisako is one of the best female Japanese guitarists, seen in her work with all the other bands she's been in and played for. I don't think anyone in toddle are particularly interesting or good songwriters, regardless of their individual performing talents.

>>45072396
I like bugy, Somebody posted them in one of these threads a long time ago.

>>45091763
>are they shoegaze?
Most of their song are. At least the ones that i've heard, i gave up after 3 albums.

Midoridesu was forced because of how it starts. You can't even post the uncensored cover most of the time.

Got me Silent Hill 1 & 2 ost on vinyl. Not the original issue but I don't care.

As well as my favourite Reol albums + her new one. Hazd a listen yesterday, it's pretty good.

We're posting CDs now? Okay.
Sad that she got almost no money from these purchases though.

>>45117475
Oh, very nice

>>45117475
Why is that? Does the label get all the money?

>>45118733
Half of it was bought used(the most expensive half, Second on vinyl is very rare). And yes, she gets 0% of money from Midori reissue sales.

A lot of japanese artists make hilariously small amounts of money. Especially independent ones.
Less than your average salaryman.

>>45134977
>anison artists
You need to be more specific. Some anison artists are more popular than others. Mainstream anime are definitely popular in general so in turn the artists making music for them would also be popular, the other way also applies.

>>45137692
Non-popular artists don't get to make songs for any anime. Unless it's some rookie pushed by a label

>>45137692
Think Konomi Suzuki or her kind.

>>45091867
>i don't get what's the "nostalgic" tag about.
They sound like from a miyazaki film or something similar that's considered classic now, my guess at least.

>>45090513
>>45091763
MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS aren't really shoegaze, it's more like they incorporate distinct shoegaze elements but aren't really part of the main lineage, they are more like alt-rock or poppy post-hardcore if you will.

Japan has loads of great shoegaze bands but Walrus is one of my favourites. They represent a pinnacle of what happens when you take heavy distortion and go with it as far as you can in the rock direction. Almost all of their songs are ballads but extremely powerful. Also there was a great running joke how in live venues you can't even see the drummer properly because of all the equipment they had to get onto the stage for their distortions which does paint a clear picture of their music.

https://youtu.be/KiwYxvboeSg?si=k4rS6TSVHaRoakzT

>>45134977
It depends on the era you want to consider. Nowadays it's extremely blurry considering that big portion of anime songs are done by big mainstream artists in the first place. In the 00s and 90s there was a big gap and anison breaking into mainstream was considered "big" deal. Mizuki Nana was basically considered to be very special since she was basically anison person but managed to built mainstream success on that which at the time was notable.

>>45148299
Post-hardcore isn't a real genre.

>>45148453
you're not a real genre

I feel so bad about pirating from small indie bands with less than 5k followers on any platform, I promise I'll donate 3x the amount if I ever win the lottery or something :')

>>45171550
Looking at it that would be around 1/4 of my music folder so ~350 releases, assuming one costs ¥700 that would be ¥245'000. The average cost of a release in my music folder would probably be ¥1'000, with there being 1400 the total cost would be ¥1'400'000 for which I could buy a very fine used car here

At least half of them are now sold only at overpriced auctions with many probably missing

>>45171898
Wait, I misinterpreted 5k as 500. At least half then, so 700, assuming one release is ¥700 then ¥490'000

>>45171550
I feel bad even when i stream from paid account. Small artists make pretty much no money on those platforms.
But they also don't make much on CD sales, only real revenue source is live shows.

>>45171550
It's not like you'd have purchased them anyway. Best you can do it is share their stuff around so maybe they get more popular. And if you can buy, make sure it's always from places where they get most of the money.

>>45172284
Realistically as someone who lives overseas and can't regularly attend live shows, buy goods in person etc, there's very little to truly feel guilty about. It's by and large out of your hands, at least with the wonders of the インターネット you can engage with their artistic expressions from the otherside of the world, even if you can't monetarily support them, which IMO is important for art in any form.

>>45172835
If I was stinking rich I probably would've bought them, but yeah I'll rate them highly on RYM and share them for now lol

>>45212842
Oh no, thread is ruined...

>>45212974
NTA but I don't see anything wrong with talking about a popular Japanese artist in the regular Japanese music thread

Which website now to use? JPOPMIX.com is dead........

>>45208382
cibo matto

>>45208382
Some RYM darlings and people reviewed by f*ntano are generally more known overseas, merely because the audience is much larger merely by virtue of a lack of market saturation.
Very little Japanese music makes its way to western audiences that aren't already into Japanese pop culture, so what does is by nature more exotic will get more attention because of a lack of competition;
let's say there are 10 bands, and the international and domestic audiences are only 100 people each. Domestically, the audience has access to 10/10 bands, and for the sake of the example assume that the audience is evenly spread amongst those 10: now each band has an audience of 10. Now let's assume that only 1/10 of the bands manages to catch international attention through the youtube algorithm, RYM, f*ntano, /mu/, reddit whatever. Now you have 100 people all focused on just that 1 band, because that's all they have access to, who now has a larger international audience than domestic merely because the supply and demand is much much lower in the international market.

Why does her voice sound so digital? Like theres pitch correction or filtering even when there isn't

>>45217007
Basically this but also of note is that in the West people usually stuck with The One Album by an artist and don't really follow his/her career as a whole but just listen to that one popular record that made them somewhat known.

>>45219889
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThjD7pbmvmM
Sounds completely regular to me. But if she does have some implant or whatever then that certainly sounds like an anime plot. Expect her to overuse it and permanently damage her voice, everyone giving up on her except the MC and later she comes to be able to sing again

>>45231138
Left one is for pedos.
>>45228303
Short answer is no.
Long answer: Mariko is very afraid of performing with a band. One-time guest appearances are fine, but only in a support role, not as a front(wo)man. Unless she magically gets rid of her mental issues, Midori reunion is impossible. Plus, drummer is retired anyway.

Slightly offtopic, but no matter how much japanese music i listen on youtube(including most of the songs in these threads) there's still nothing japanese in my recommendations. Probably some conspiracy.

>>45254827
I guess you aren't listening to enough because my feeds look like this

Apple music is the best when it comes to recommendations. Just wish that it would stop forcing Za Ningen and oomori on me.

>>45254900
I don't have Apple Music so I can't compare, but Spotify and YouTube Music (tuner function, specifically) usually target me with good stuff. The hardest part for me is that I tend to listen to different stuff on YTM versus Spotify, and for my favorite artists where I have everything offline, I do most of my listening there.

>>45238048

>>45254827
Youtube is heavily biased toward the most recent thing you click + links you put in "Watch Later". If you want it to recommend Japanese music, you pretty much have to click on Japanese music exclusively.
For example, I only use Youtube to listen to music and occasionally click on Street Fighter 3: 3rd strike videos. But 1/3 of my recommendations are random assorted video games, even those I'd never click myself and I pretty much block every video/channel that have contents I don't like. The algorithm is shitty and have a terrible long term memory.

Was there some post I failed to notice about these shirts being available by inquiry? I myself barely spend money at all, did you perhaps manage to buy a shirt by e-mailing her on your own or something?

>>45260960
I was talking about picrelated t-shirt from her recent movie, 光光光 shirt was supposed to be an event exclusive, but event got canceled and it will be sold on 11/18 at the PK Shampoo PSYCHIC FES, 11/26 at the Acoustic Violence show and 12/28 MariKuri year-end show. She decided not to sell it online because of taxes(as if she couldn't raise the price to cover that, all of her merch sells out in a day anyway).

If you're gonna post from KAF's Suite series, I would like to recommend the Hakushi Hasegawa collaboration. The MV also has a nice style to compliment the song. They actually have been adding EN subs to the Suite series songs, but I guess they didn't get to this one yet.

Reading YouTube comments(english ones) fills me with rage.

finally listened to the new shinsei kamattechan compilation album and holy shit did they suck the life out of every re-recording, the mix is shit and the rearrangements are even worse, pretty much everything i've hated about noko's lazy attitude towards music from the last few years amplified

>>45330848
Never was into them, but people always said that they fell off years ago.
Also, on of them showed up on recent Mariko stream, the pink-haired girl. Seemed like a nice person.

>>45331092
She's a nice person, but she's a horrible drummer. That being said, the rhythm section is an afterthought from the composition level in most shinsei kamattechan songs so her abilities don't really matter.
They did fall off years ago, and the only thing that prevented them from falling further was the bassist, who was the only one who had any real input on the albums and would give his opinion, but he unfortunately left in 2019.
People like to blame the label for the change in studio sound, but the truth is noko is completely to blame because he fought and parted ways with the sound engineer (AxSxE) of their first albums that are usually the most acclaimed, Tsumanne in particular.
The sound they've had for a while is entirely on noko, it's what he wants, and he's explicitly said so since he says they've worked with the same engineer for most of their later albums since he understands exactly what noko wants in terms of sound. Noko has a good idea of what's a catchy, hummable melody, but has absolutely no ear for for music production outside of that. The last few years he's just dumped the melody onto a violin/strings accompaniment, even with his self-produced demos, and called it a day, instead of trying to do something, anything, musically interesting with the rest of the song.

>>45331617
>AxSxE
Such a small world, he was a guitarist for Mariko during her entire solo career. He also mixed two songs on Midori's last album, mixed and mastered all of 299792458 and half of m@u.
Oh, and he composed one of her weakest songs(it's still good): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIINj1yPTt8

>>45338801
It depends on the artist and my expectation from them RE:lyrics; if I notice they have good lyrics when I first start listening to them I'll pay attention in the future, but if they usually don't have interesting lyrics then I won't necessarily focus on it

Sometimes i wish i didn't understand the lyrics.

New Release Hallucination single

How popular is Daoko in Japan?

>>45372234
Not really popular anymore but I wager she's has a decent fanbase and is known of because of her mid/late-2010s period and that collab with Yonezu. Her last album sold decently well at least but I don't know what the competition was at the time, and you'd have to go back 2-3 years to find her last music video that broke a million views while back in the day you had a slew of hits. Even at her peak 6-8 years ago she was never as consistently popular as say YOASOBI or Ado or whoever's in demand these days, she just really got lucky with some big collabs.

unsubbed from daoko since she used aislop in her latest video
