Could you even still consider Nanahira denpa? I feel like all of her new music are straying away from what could be called "denpa"?

She straight up put out a future bass album. I was a bit wishy-washy on the meme that she's only as good as whoever she's working with, but listening to this one really solidified it for me. Some of these are straight up unlistenable.

インターネットが遅いさん was probably the best thing from that album. It's the only one I'll sometimes listen to just on a whim.

[Anonymous No.]

Why is denpa seen as a "love it or hate it" genre? Is it because of the otaku themes it tends to deal with, which may end up alienating some listeners, or maybe due to it being "too Japanese"? Could it be because of "moe-denpa", which at times abuses cuteness and even lewdness, and its close link to lolis? I'm asking this because, musically speaking, I don't see anything wrong with denpa.

[Anonymous No.]

For the non-japanese side I'd say part of it is simply difficutly in branching out from a given starting point. While there is a fair amount on Youtube, if you can't read moon then it's a mighty slog to get new music. Look no further than the resources in the OP of this thread, practically every title, album, and artist name is written in japanese. So even if you liked a certain song or a certain album, finding more requires all sorts of translation shenanigans. The community also isn't like for anisongs or vocaloids, where moonspeakers actually care to do translating. This goes for Reddit as well (https://www.reddit.com/r/denpa).). It's a dead community over there, but it's dead in japanese. It looks to me like there's only (literally) 1 or 2 people who post translations and such, one of them being https://denpapentateuch.blogspot.com/ while http://denpa.omaera.org/ is dead, and has been for a long time. Though there are some EOPs who are active in these threads, which just goes to prove autism always finds a way. I never did understand those people though, for me at least half the fun of denpa comes from the lyrics.

I don't hang enough in the japanese sphere to give you a usefull idea about the wider audience there. However, since you mention "too japanese" I guess they weren't the focus to begin with.

EOP here. I've listened to a boatload of translated doujin music and the vast majority is written like trash. I just don't care anymore. There's obviously going to be songs elevated by the lyrics but I'm not going to listen to something that sounds like shit just because what they're saying is interesting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24166172
Are you from an English speaking country? In my country, a Spanish speaking one, it's fairly common to have people listening to music in English without knowing what the lyrics truly mean. Now, I do acknowledge that English and Japanese music are in no way comparable, especially when it comes to denpa: it's, after all, very lyric-based (or so I'd say). Still, the fact that people listen to music they don't fully understand where I live (and I'm guessing this may happen to other non-English speaking communities) is there. I guess this says a lot about music and how it doesn't truly need lyrics to convey a message.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24171468
I'm not! Where I live it's normal for a playlist to include some spanish or french songs, even though nobody understands what's being said. I dare say it'd be more surprising for a party not to play at least 1 or 2 of those during the night. However, unlike denpa, at least you can read the name of the song or artist, and they are on Spotify or some such popular equivalent. I know a few denpa artists have been set up on Spotify though.
>>24170151
I have no idea what the translation quality of doujin music is, but I'd hazard a guess it's not lyricists doing the writing. Still, "doujin" does inherently imply a lack of quality control. While the instrumentals are good, I'm not sure I'd be actively listening to おでんぱスタジオ (Denpa Studio) or 秘密結社はみはみ (The Secret Society MunchMunch) were it not for the lyrics and personalities in the songs.

[Anonymous No.]

I miss ほたるたん...

[Anonymous No.]

Anybody know what the members of おでんぱスタジオ have been doing since 2018? This is what I found after a bit of searching.
なつき: No production, but active on Twitter
津軽りんご: Nothing, not active online under this name
ねこめ: She has been watching a lot of Precure, is active on Twitter, not producing anything
ほたる:Was in ほっと・すぽっと and was part of a concert, both in the first half of 2019. Active on Twitter, not sure if she produces anything
ひろて～: Is very actively producing music in the group twinkle with ちょこ and みるく
Were there any more members? Did any of the ones I listed up here continue producing content under a different name or in a different form, e.g Virtual Youtuber? I know the singers had some songs under other labels, like つうほうしちゃうぞ! and ひとりぼっちアドベンチャー under ポヤッチオ, or でぃすこしましま under 33.turbo. Anyone know of other appearances? I'm about 99 % sure they have more, but it's a pain to find.

Isn't 夜乃ネオン 豚田ひかり from 秘密結社はみはみ? And 桃箱 is 周防パトラ. Not that you'd know this unless you recognize the voice. Why can't everyone be like 佃煮のりおちゃんねる and just add their "real name" to the channel? (It's called 佃煮のりおちゃんねる【犬山たまき】)

Anyway, now I'm reminded that 秘密結社はみはみ isn't active anymore... Anyone have any suggestions for similar performers?

夜乃ネオン is はつのはゆづの, though. ちょこ, み～こ, ひなうさ (the one with the most subs, I think), まめこ and ななひら also are VTubers. I'm sure there must be many more artists involved there.

Huh, I keep mixing up which name goes with which voice. They sound different when singing compared to when talking in the ボーナストラックs.
Are any of those artists uploading worthwhile content as VTubers though? I get the impression it's 1 song a year, then the rest is >1 hour long streams of video games or some chit chat with what's effectively background footage going.

Denpa is dead, it's only a matter of time now. Our girls will become vtuber ... all of them. V-tuber is very powerful in Japan now. It's the current otaku culture thing there, while denpa is reminiscent of the 2000s otaku culture, the peak of denpa. A phase in which its influence is in decline now, as expected.

The young girls (born 2000-20**) do not know the genre, so we can be sure that we will not have new nanahira or momobako out there. These kids will become vtuber.


I see a future where we only have 2 active groups: mosaic.wav and toromi. But, I mean, in this future they are going to be old... Can you imagine a 51yo toromi? I can't.

Our beloved denpa is in decline, is being replaced. All of us here on this thread are decadent. I'm sad, but this is life.

>>24202360
I wouldn't be particularily surprised if toromi is writing her age starting with a 5 already. Wasn't she active in gravure during the early 90s?

[Anonymous No.]

>>24202663
Early 90s!?! I thought it was late 90s, which makes a big difference. She could have been born in 1980 and started doing gravure at 16 in 1996. But if it is early 90s, then she was definitely born in the 70s, or even worse, late 60s!

She has an amazing skin anyway.

>>24202785
Don't take my word for that timeframe, I pulled it from memory. Still, if she was active in the late 90s, that puts her awfully close to 50.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24202360
I tend to agree with you, but i try to be a bit more positive.
New singers might not necessarily come from the youngest generation. denpa newcomer あまめろ is around 30 I think, but her two releases so far have been great.
They also don't have to be mutually exclusive. Most denpa singers who are vtubers are still active as denpa singers, though you could argue about the quality of their output, they are still active. Many are also utaite, illustrators, housewives, etc. Other work they do hopefully will not affect their denpa work.
I also think that denpa producers are more important than singers. As long as they are around denpa will survive, but they also seem to be in decline sadly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24207820

I like the way you think. In fact, we don't need denpa exclusive singers and I definitely agree that producers are the brains of it all. However, no fanbase, no denpa.

Without new fans, the movement is unlikely to continue with just old fans. It's natural for older fans to start leaving behind these passions of the past. The denpa fanbase is getting older, and I think this is true even for us outside of Japan. I believe that most of us here have experienced the otaku culture of, at least, the late 2000s. New international fans of the otaku culture will have as a reference a completely different universe compared to when we started and It's hard to believe that they would dive into Denpa.

[Anonymous No.]

>>24166172
As you said, it's not much of a sustainable community without new people to post translations. This is especially apparent in the several few months, in which I haven't posted in the blog even a small update. It's sad, as denpa music is incomplete without understanding the lyrics, it's a completely different experience when you get not only how crazy things are, but *how* crazy things are. You can guess the extent - but not the manner.

>>24171105
The only thing to say is that you're missing out. Denpa lyrics are a great reason to start studying Japanese. The moe doesn't even begin to cut it with the sound of singing alone.

>>24171468
Music doesn't truly need lyrics to convey a message, that's right. But it needs lyrics to convey *the* message - that is, form a direct link between the vocalist and the listener through the lyrics. In ancient Chinese culture, poems were a form of communication between two people. It required not only a good poet, but a good listener, who could understand the state of mind of the poet. Now, not all music is poetry, but you'll never be able to become a good listener without paying attention to the words.

>>24202360
What you can do to change it is aim for a closer integration of Virtual YouTubers and moe-denpa music. Since it has such major attention, the more popular VTuber channels engage in moe-denpa music (for instance the MOSAIC.WAV tribute stream by Hololive vocalist AZKi), the greater the chances of gathering new interest in moe-denpa music. The involvement of long-time denpa artists like IOSYS and Beatmario in Virtual YouTuber projects is key to passing the baton to a new generation of moe-denpa songs. Waiting for eroge, rhythm games and doujin music to save the day is betting on a dead horse - at best they'll sustain it for a while. With the new generations occupied by VTubers, it's our best bet at lighting it up again and preventing it from becoming nothing more than nostalgia.

As for the question of age, I think that younger generations lived past the time window in which denpa was so widespread everybody knew what it was, especially in the heydays of Akihabara and Nico Nico Douga. And about the older generations - you can trust those with passion to keep at it for as long as they can. Marina Fujiwara stuck beyond 50, and even Ikuko Ebata is keeping her presence (if not as a vocalist but as a lyricst) after more than 30 years in the doujin scene.

>>24204992
I don't think it's much of a stretch to have her do a channel related to her Buddhist mascots.

>>24170151
I felt in love with this track after listening to it in I've's Short Circuit.

I'm not sure I personally have a problem with letting it become nostalgia. If the next generation takes it in an unrecognizable direction then it'll just end up as nostalgia anyway. I can't get into this vtuber stuff at all.

What bothers me with denpa is that there's been so few artists doing it historically that it's perfectly possible to hear >95 % of everything produced. Sure, it'll take years, but compared to other hobbies of mine such as anime, manga, VN, travelling, motorcycling, etc, it's a very short time. I won't ever "run out of" good series, pretty places to visit, and exciting journeys. I'll definitely run out denpa before we enter the next decade. That goes even if production had been at the level it was several years ago, not to mention now.

>>24213400

Nailed it. It's very possible to know everything denpa-related in a few years of dedication / dowloanding / buying / searching / looking older threads etc.
There is something, however, that will always be produced: eroge songs. And this is pretty much denpa field. Eroge has passed its peak, of course, but it will always have a niche that will consume it. As long as there is an eroge being produced, there will be denpa songs, trust me.
Curiously, I have always had a problem in finding them. I believe that even here there is a lack of eroge songs if we're talking about small groups or unpopular games.

[Anonymous No.]

Your best friend (who is also into otaku stuff) wants to know what denpa is. However, you only get one chance to show him with just one song, as you know that your friend is impatient and intransigent and will not give the genre a chance on the second song.
What song would you show him that you think represents denpa well and is capable of making him fall in love for this universe?

My choice would not be any of the giants like mosaic, nanahira or toromi. But a classic from an eroge that is the best feeling in the world to hear very loud:

>>24215072
Theoretically, I'd look for common ground - if they're otaku, then perhaps they're a Touhou, Vocaloid or rhythm game fan, which makes it easier to find something they'll associate with, but realistically it's not something you can control. If one song sticks, it's more likely for them to look for others like it, explore the artist more, and eventually spread into other denpa music. That said, I have low hopes for denpa missionaries.

If possible, of course try matching the song to their taste. However, if we are going for a "one size fits all" approach...
I nominate 高等遊民お姉ちゃん (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrWiEf5rArs)) as a summary of a lot of elemnts in denpa.

If it wasn't evident enough from the composition, singing and the cropped pornographic album cover (you can see the full futa art on the Suruga-ya listing), then yes, this would be denpa. But it wouldn't necessarily be called this way, since it's from 1999, before people really used "denpa" to call any distinct form of music.

Has anyone here supported any denpa artist in the pixiv fanbox? If so, how good is it? I was looking at nanahira and mosaic.wav fanbox and, honestly, I was impressed with the advantages of being a mosaic supporter! They did something really well designed and worth your money. I was thinking of becoming a supporter. Can someone who already is tell me about the experience?

Some of the hallmarks are there, particularly the heavy use of samples, but lolicore is also anachronistic to the time period. Lolicore in my mind embraces faster tempo and more distortion.

As a whole, MOSAIC.WAV, hands down. Their denpa is unique and always high-quality. I wouldn't hesitate to claim that MOSAIC.WAV is the best denpa circle there's been: they truly managed to take denpa one step beyond. At their best, MOSAIC.WAV remains unmatched.

The current Denpa Song Discord fulfills more than enough, in my opinion, the need for a more collected and stable base of discussion. You don't need to depend on "what ifs" and other improbable suggestions when something is already out there.

>>24392141
I don't think it's right to compare a 2-3 person band, that has seen stable activity over the years, to an ever changing mega circle, that had dozens of different members over the course of its existence, and many other projects than just doujin touhou and denpa music. So when people say MOSAIC.WAV has better consistency, they're skewed by the different nature of the two. The only thing I consider relatively consistent with IOSYS is the lyric writing, a job mostly reserved to IOSYS founder Shachou, and I think he's ultimately more original and creative than MOSAIC.WAV.

>>24827119
Yes, Momobako is now Patra, but referring to Patra's music as Momobako or expecting it to be denpa is silly. Her old YouTube channel and website are deleted, and all that remains of her Twitter is a tweet announcing her retirement. One difference from Momobako is that all the songs she's made as Patra are self-produced. She's also remixed at least one other vtuber's song. I think this short song is the most denpa-like thing she's made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Iesadviuuo

As for other denpa vocalists turned vtubers, see >>24189631
I believe Nanahira's listed vtuber persona is more or less abandoned, she's more recently been streaming as a Nanahira-vtuber on her Nanahira channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOtOW_wCn4

Apart from Patra (Momobako) and Sister Claire (Hinausa), they're small channels, so I doubt it inhibits their denpa activity much. Although it's kind of strange for at least Choko and Nanahira to have been active and releasing music under two personas simultaneously.

>Wasn't she very popular? How weird to discard all the popularity just like this. Are there any deeper reasons?
I don't know exactly how popular she was as Momobako at the time she quit, but I think you're underestimating the popularity of the upper echelon of vtubers. YouTube's stream donation numbers are public, and tracked by sites like this: https://playboard.co/en/channel/UCeLzT-7b2PBcunJplmWtoDg

As for discarding all the popularity, her vtuber debut is dated July 12th 2018, the tweet announcing her retirement as Momobako was March 12th 2019. At that point her vtuber channel already had more than 100k subscribers.

The reason she deleted all her old stuff instead of just leaving it is probably just to draw attention away from it, and remove potential fuel for anti-fans. A lot of, if not most vtubers have had past online personas. A few remain active on both, some just leave them inactive, others delete everything. I doubt there's any deeper reason in most cases. It seems unlikely, but it could also have been a managerial decision, I'm not familiar with the agency she works under.

Momobako ditching denpa to become a popular vtuber always reminds me of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5orbTHnbQvc

I've been taking advantage of being stuck at home to go through and upload some of the old Japanese music on my hard drives.

First is are the two Pani Poni Dash Vocal Albums from 2006. Old school pre-chanology/habbo/foxnews 4chan was fucking obsessed with this show, in hindsight it's mostly aged like milk IMO but the music is very good. These two albums contain a lot of Denpa standards like Pani Poni X! and the Magical Girl Beihomi theme.

I got into denpa because of the lyrics - I was intrigued by their reputation for being nonsensical/bizarre, and the few instances of this I was able to find translated in things like the Kyouran Kazoku Nikki OP. still haven't learned Japanese though

God, It's been so long since I've last seen a denpa thread, I wonder what happened. I haven't been listening to much denpa and Japanese music lately though. Seeing users in this thread talk about the old days of "dmp", how denpa is dying and rambling about vtubers is making me feel like an oldfag/nostalgiafag

I think you two are overestimating your ability to cover "everything there is to know" in the span of a few years. Not because there are heaps of denpa albums out there, but because they are inaccessible compared to other commonly pirated media like manga, anime and visual novels. Downloading everything that was posted in the thread is one kind of dedication, but I think it takes a different kind of dedication to look for and discover new denpa music, both modern and older.

[Anonymous No.]

>>25063228
As someone who only knows the kana, a handful of kanji and pretty much that, looking for denpa outside these threads, vk and Discord is outright impossible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>25063228
The thing with discovering new artists is that denpa was mainly produced during the internet age, so if you found one, chances are they would mention 3 more. Eventually, the connections loop and you are left with a web of "core" popular artists. Add collaborative projects and guest appearances such as ピコロニーノーツ to the mix, and you widen the net to quite the number of inactive artists as well. Of course, this doesn't nearly catch everything, as mentioned earlier in the thread eroge songs often dabble into denpa. The same do anisongs. Then there's artists which don't actively go for a denpa image but still kind of fall into it, one-off productions (albums and songs), non-commercial doujin works (uploaded for free by the artists), 90s artists, etc. However, I seriously question how large a volume we are talking about compared to the stuff mentioned at least once in these threads over the past year or two. I've got ~3000 denpa songs on my hardrive, following the scene very casually. Would you hazard a guess that there are more than 10 000 denpa songs around? I wouldn't (don't trust the casual though!), and if a casual follower can collect 30 % of the material out there, then a dedicated one could probably cross 75 %. What if we estimate only 5000 denpa songs out there? Then this thread alone represents a good 60 % of the entire scene.
To change perspective a bit, if a horror movie buff, a classical music buff, an anime buff, a fantasy reader, etc, had consumed 30 % af all content produced in their niche, they would be amongst the 99 percentile. In denpa you get there by downloading RTL and the denpa thread archives, both found at the top of this thread. Denpa is more comparable in that regard to subcategories like "baseball anime" or "Parisian baroque composers during the Thirty Years War". Neither of which I'd call "high intensity" to keep up with if you put in some work.

[Anonymous No.]

>>25078583
Exactly because of what you wrote, I explicitly mentioned that I don't think there are many denpa songs out there. The imposed limitation to "completion" (I have no interest in listening to all denpa music out there) is not the large volume of denpa music, but the difficulty of getting to each subcategory you mentioned. I uploaded many older, niche albums to the thread in the past two years. None of them are things I learned about in a day. None of them are things I acquired in a day. It may not be "high intensity" up to your standards. Will you take my place when I go?

>>25076937
That's the main hurdle, in my opinion. You're always at the grace of other people - rippers, translators and other speakers who communicate with the Japanese side. But then again, I think it's also great motivation to study Japanese.

>>25093039
>Will you take my place when I go?
No, if I were to dedicate my time, energy, and money to digging up lost and niche works, then it would be within anime.
>"completion"
Maybe we are talking past each other. I don't get the impression you talk about hearing all denpa-kei stuff out there. Neither am I. However, I'd say that if a fan actually clears out all which is collected in this threads resources, then the number of remaining denpa-kei songs is so small that they are reduced to curiosities rather than the topic of a "deeper" community. As an example, some time ago Manikyua-dan albums were posted (was that you?). While I did listen to and appreciate those albums, they are more of a dead end or a one-off curiosity then something from which further music turns up. Learning about them doesn't lead to something new for the denpa listener. Compare that to an anime fan opening their eyes to the OVAs from the same period because they learned of a director who made a couple. From that perspective, it doesn't take much to reach a state which I'd call close enough to "running out". When I look into twitter profiles and defunct blogs of artists I like, they rarely end up at unknown names, and that's been the case for a long time now. Though I'll admit this may just be my own ignorance talking. Regarding the OVA comparison, that too is a subsphere where a person can "run out" within just a few years. Though resources like MAL and AniDB massively reduce the "unknown unknowns".

[Anonymous No.]

>>25129650
I think your feeling of running out is not a result of the remaining number of moe-denpa songs to listen to, however small they are. Let me explain.

As far back as the Tang dynasty of China, good poetry was thought to need not only good poets, but good listeners - people who could read between the lines, and understand not only the context, but see the thoughts and emotions of the poet. Chinese scholars wrote of how they felt like they were holding conversations with their counterparts from centuries back.

If what you're looking for is a song to serve as another denpa hit, then you might consider it a dead end or a one-off curiosity. However, I think that's only hearing, and not listening. It has to come from you, it has to be your dedication that goes into it. Otherwise, can you really say you were running out, or were you just taking the music at face value? I don't think I'm better than you or anybody else, reading the thread. But I think with a change of approach, you can become a better listener, and bring the feeling of running out to a stop. That is, in practice, value what you learn the same as or even more than the songs themselves. Then you'll discover that you've learned beyond the scope of moe-denpa alone, and so will have not felt like you wasted your time, energy and money. Not one-off curiosities - but lifelong treasures.

There's probably a bunch of "lost" denpa that isn't catalogued anywhere. This is the case with a lot of doujin material however.

[Anonymous No.]

>>25188491
I think the main concern is deterioration of material - even if they're catalogued, they may not physically exist anymore. Internet Archive makes it much easier to trace lost works and artists, but you'd be hard pressed to find remaining, functioning copies for a lot of music. Many things still round up for sale secondhand. Auction websites, Suruga-ya and Mercari go a long way in selling secondhand goods, sometimes overpriced and sometimes for peanuts, but I think there's a lot of potential in domestic Japanese secondhand CD shops. I've actually already encountered journals through Internet Archive, detailing how people as far as 20 years back went looking and found rare doujin albums in secondhand CD shops. Ultimately, the best bet is asking the artists themselves, if possible - more of them than initially expected are active online, and from my experience, they're extremely flattered when fans locate their old works.

I just listened to the newer denpa releases and I can say with near certainty that 99% of it was shit and a waste my precious hikki time and the only decent album that at least seemed somewhat modern was Candy Pop Party. Most of it wasn't even denpa. It was that "Kawaii Future Bass" nigcock that is basically unlistenable.

[Anonymous No.]

>>25248919
While I do agree partly with you since some artists have at times gotten way too future bassy for my taste (ちょこ and ななひら come instantly to my mind), there are some very good albums among the "newer denpa releases". You're being a bit unfair there, I think.

She goes by さとうみるく outside of twinkle. Her circle is called milk crown. According to my small research, her latest solo album was みらくるくりえいしょん (pic related), which was released on M3-41 (2018). Aside from that, I believe she's only worked on the latest twinkle releases and nothing else.

>>25291355
Milk was never very active online, but she tends to wake up whenever there is a new Twinkle release and participate in live streams and so on.

Also, the Covid-19 situation may have caused some people to postpone their releases, so that might also be why she is not very active.

I manage a /jp/-themed virtual football team (I'll leave it at that, I'm not here to shill, just give background for the request) and I'm looking for a song to play whenever a goal is scored.

I would rather stick to tradition (That song would represent whole /jp/ as well because Touhou). Not a fan of trudenpa. But personally I would pick some pre-2015 Nanahira song (Camellia songs quality dropped after 2015)
