Post music, what are you listening to now? I'm trying to find a download for the collaboration album "GIANT" by レミ街×中村高校吹奏楽部. Unsuccessful so far. If anyone has it I'd really appreciate a link. Right now I'm enjoying this https://soundcloud.com/tsurfqbca5km/cover-1

No clue where you might find that, unfortunately.
Right now I'm working through some shima uta - island songs. Usually it's just a singer and a sanshin, though the modern ones like Anna Sato or Chihiro Kamiya tend to bring in outside influence and backing instruments.

Thanks for posting, I have nothing but good experiences coming here to /jp/ and finding songs I love, these threads expanded my musical tastes far beyond how they were. This is the first time there wasn't a music thread and I had to make one here and hope it goes well

indeed, /jp/ is responsible for me discovering Macaroom, their album 'swimming classroom' is honestly my favorite of the year so far.
Here's a sample of it

and they had a very pleasant Animal Collective cover

I have spoken to their vocalist and keyboardist on twitter and she seems very nice and expressive but my Japanese is very poor so it didn't go anywhere.
