darkjak Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I'm new to J-Rock and J-Rap, but I definitely like the style. I wonder if anyone can tip me about some good music in those genres. I really like Dogfight, which was in Initial D!
Beast Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 The end theme to Death Note by Maximum the Hormone, it's called Zetsoubou Billy. Fantastic for running, I love it.

Roostophe Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I've always been very partial to some Mad Capsule Markets
EEVILMURRAY Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Some Yatta is needed. Now you won't be as annoyed when Hiro shouts it all the time.
The Bard Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 This thread is wahjah. I can imagine like, Japanese people with auditory cortices that are still intact, shaking their heads and saying "If there's one fucking thing we export, why the balls does it have to be this shit." Jaysus.
Raining_again Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Stop right there everyone, it must be wrong if the Bard says so
chairdriver Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 This should really be in the Music Thread.
Roostophe Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 This should really be in the Music Thread. Nah, it's better off out here. It has more of a chance of being read.
chairdriver Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well by that logic I should start a new thread every time I think people should listen to something.
EEVILMURRAY Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well by that logic I should start a new thread every time I think people should listen to something. Consider it a spin off of the advice thread.
Mundi Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Nah, it's better off out here. It has more of a chance of being read. In the music thread you have a better chance of people recomennding some good music. Hell, you could take it to the anime and manga thread and you would probably get about as many answers as here, without people scoffing at you.
Roostophe Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 You're right, it's better off in the anime/manga thread.
Pyxis Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Asians aren't really good at music, they don't have much musical ability, unless we are talking about orchestral music or traditional east asian music using traditional instruments. Japanese pop music has to be the worst type of music in the world.:awesome: Studio Ghibli's Totoro soundtrack is ace though! There's only one person for me and that's Faye Wong: An amazing woman with an amazing voice, but not Japanese.:p This is the only pop music I like.
Daft Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Asians aren't really good at music, they don't have much musical ability. Seriously.... ...WTF? Edit: Time to wheel out that HYLAAAAARIASSS video of General Westmoreland. ....oh dear... Edited February 24, 2010 by Daft
killthenet Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Let me add to the argument against you Pyxis with one of the greatest Japanese exports, Boredoms Might not be your (OP's) kind of thing, but definately check out Vision Creation Newsun, Super Roots 7 and Super Roots 9, although most of their substantial output is fantastic.
Pyxis Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Let me add to the argument against you Pyxis with one of the greatest Japanese exports, Boredoms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfqUQwENyQE&feature=related Is that who you are talking about? They sound like stroke victims on cocaine. "oogga gagga gagga blargh blargh blargh ARRGHH!" Ok, I am sure there is some good Japanese pop out there, somewhere.:p Edited February 24, 2010 by Pyxis
chairdriver Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Ok, I am sure there is some good Japanese pop out there, somewhere.:p This stuns, if only for the imperfect immaculateness:
darkjak Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Well by that logic I should start a new thread every time I think people should listen to something. No, but making seperate threads for different genres would make perfect sense. Also, it would be completely out of place in the Anime & Manga thread, because although you might hear something in Anime's, there's a whole s**tload of more music. Edited February 24, 2010 by darkjak
Paj! Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 That and Passion/Sanctuary by Utada is as far as my knowledge of Japanese pop music goes.
dan-likes-trees Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 The Pillows all u need The only halfway decent band mentioned in this thread. The majority of J-rock is laughable crap, if addictive laughable crap. I particularly enjoy the hilariously OTT Maximum the Hormone, quite the guilty pleasure. And also, yeah should be in the music thread but owell. Genuinely good Japanese band: Asobi Seksu
Paj! Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah but as you said, Asobi Seksu are good. And so have no need to be mentioned among the shite here. :p
weeyellowbloke Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Hmmm, to be honest I don't know much Japanese pop (or at least the majority that I have heard I just can't get along with), however I very much like these guys: Unsurprisingly they are big fans of Britpop.
