No. In fact a Japanese guitar man died once and the apathy was so strong it caused a carelessness wave so powerful half of /jp/ was banned.

I only listen to video game music.

Who? The only notable Japanese musician that died fairly recently I can think of is Nujabes.

Out of your list, I only know (and like) Midori, Nujabes, Mouse on the Keys and YMO. Also Group_inou, but that's not on your list.
But I don't exclusively listen to videogame/anime music, I just don't know many japanese musicians.

Not really. See, moot even renamed the board from Japan/General and Japanese Culture for this very reason. Obviously a lot of us like "normal" music because we're human beings in the electronic age, but this board isn't for music just because it's from Japan or whatever.

But no hard feelings. This happens all the time and maybe some people care about it, I don't know.

Sorry bro. I know that he's called Merzbow and pronounced Merzubau

[Anonymous No.]

What's with all the /mu/tants invading /jp/ lately?
I don't like them very much because they use their boardname as some sort of label >implying< they hold some sort of estoric knowledge of music

Musicnerds are the worst nerds, seriously, especially metalfags. Whatever happened to just enjoying music for what it is?

[Anonymous No.]

Anyone who thinks Merzbow is "normal" is a fucking idiot.

Boris are playing in Australia next month. I'm pretty excited.

I don't listen to any anime or touhou music, actually. Well, I listen to some touhou music, but never any remixes or anything like that.

I find that the vast majority of anime music is really awful and most of the people into it are boring nerd faglords of the worst kind.

Some of the music on your list is good, OP. I love WEG, Nujabes, Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, and Melt Banana.

/mu/ really sucks, though.

Boris are one of my favorite bands.

That said, I can't into hipster and thus the things I like that /mu/ also likes are rare exceptions like Boris. For the most part I'm basically a metalfag that doesn't care about country of origin.
