why do people keep calling it this, was there some kind of western release or something?
if not, just stick to the real title

>>53298646
Because not everyone can read moonrunes.

>>53298744
your point being?
nobody talks about "Kitty-Cat Club's legendary song 'Don't Take Off My Sailor Suit'" or "the new Big Island Nice Girl solo song", why is Midori any different?

>>53298799
I have no idea what you are talking about, but I constantly translate song titles all the time when talking about them, you anal wacko.

It's a non-important issue, and I sure as hell don't call A German Requiem "Ein Deutsches Requiem" on a casual conversation. Stop being so anal, it's easier to recall titles on languages you know, and communicate them with other people.

if you called it "3-Bar Republic" and someone else "Full Signal Commonwealth", can you be sure you're both talking about the same song?

>>53299120
February 18th! it's the same release date as CAPSULE's "WAVE RUNNER" and i can't wait to watch the Dempas totally stomp them on the charts
p.s. Nemu is best

>>53299123
i didn't know "autistic" was the new slang for "correct"

>>53299181
You just misspelled Mirin.

>>53299197
who?

>>53299181
>i didn't know "autistic" was the new slang for "correct"
Maybe you misunderstood context, I hear that's a thing with people with autism.
And your j-pop is disgusting, I sure as hell wouldn't want to discuss that shit with anyone and I wouldn't want to carry a conversation with people that would have that sort of conversations.

>>53299213

And just so you know that your romaji bullshit is just as inept and arbitrary, there's no way to get that the san in "Barisan Kyouwakoku" is a 3. Romaji is already a compromise and incorrect from the get-go, but we need those compromises because we can't read moonrunes.
If correctness is such a concern, then the only way to go is obviously バリ3共和国

GOAT live album coming through.

Also does anyone have some other releases from him other than Daikanjyo???

>>53299369
>there's no way to get that the san in "Barisan Kyouwakoku" is a 3
but even if you didn't know that, you'd still understand exactly what song "Barisan [...]" was if you'd referred to it as "Bari-3" your whole life, which is the point of using romanised titles over translated ones

>Romaji is already a compromise and incorrect from the get-go
except in cases where songs have been given official romanisations for international release, which is happening more and more regularly. as an example, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's staff put her song "Tsukematsukeru" on iTunes with that romanised title, so it's correct because it's been approved by the label and the artist

>the only way to go is obviously バリ3共和国
but because the majority of computer users can't type in Japanese, they use roman characters. for that, "Bari-3 Kyouwakoku" is fine.

are you still trying to argue for referring to things by translated titles, or are you just complaining about the way people actually do things by this point?

>>53299531
>you'd still understand exactly what song "Barisan [...]"
Just as well that you'd understand "A German Requiem" is EIn Deutshces Requiem or "Hello Everyone[..]" is "Aratemamashite. Hajimemashite[...]". Do you understand now? Communication is arbitrary, man. Whatever works is correct. Don't get so neurotic about it.

>>53299586
but nobody does this in the case of Japanese music unless there's an officially sanctioned translation (like in the case of YMO or other artists who've been released in the West)
that's why i was asking whether they'd gotten a Western release or not, because it's so uncommon as far as Japanese music goes

>>53299725
>but nobody does this
except for japanese music that is well-regarded among western circles, such as midori. That nobody does this for your ultra-weeb music among weeb circles is another thing. But those kind of people would argue about what is and what is not denpa.

oh, if it's about things you personally enjoy it isn't anything like a problem. i read it as some objective list like "this is the best of Japanese music!", which is a scary thought.

good albums from Japan include
Afrirampo - "WE ARE UCHU NO KO"
Tenniscoats - "All Aboard"
ZAZEN BOYS - "ZAZEN BOYS"
Scha Dara Parr - "5th WHEEL 2 The COACH"
Incapacitants - "As Loud As Possible"
Happy End - "Kazemachi Roman"
neina - "subconsciousness"
Supercar - "Three Out Change"
SARO - "The Fish Which Is Numb In Dusk Of Winter"

That second track and that final track.... dear god help me.

>>53302037
this is the best Perfume album for sure, but i think other albums produced by Nakata are better
capsule's "MORE! MORE! MORE!", COLTEMONIKHA's best-of, MEG's "BEAUTIFUL" and "STEP"...
i guess it's all about taste, but the immature feeling of Perfume isn't really appealing for me. i like the adult worldview of these other acts more

>>53302099
haven't heard enouh meg or coltetmonikha or capsule to say much.

>>53302167
no way! they're really on the same high level as "GAME" for the most part, but to be honest, the newest CAPSULE album sounds like it'll be terrible. you can't feel any love there any more.

>>53302099
more more more is such a dull album. capsule has a lot better

>>53302320
the only other albums on its level are "FRUITS CLiPPER" and "L.D.K Lounge Designers Killer", but those are a little rougher than a thing someone who enjoyed "GAME" could immediately get into

>>53297806

i haven't listened to the gerogerigegege yet, what's their best album?

>>53302645
Hell Driver

>>53302533
"Sugarless GiRL" has killer songs like the title track and "Starry sky", but i think there's a lot of filler on that album in particular, with "Sound of Silence" being particularly horrible
"PLAYER" is also good, but it gets dragged down by "Factory" which is unnecessary and unlistenable
as for "WORLD OF FANTASY", i guess it's good for what it is, but i'm almost never in the mood for it because it's so consistently intense and loud
>>53302686
Art Is Over

>>53302714
REALiTY is the best song on Sugarless GiRL
A lot of people hate Factory but I quite enjoy it. What annoys me about it is that random ass voice but I can look over it because the instrumental rocks

>>53297778
Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain is pretty good

>>53302789
isn't it like a rehash of this superior thing he put on the Liar Game soundtrack?

No one goes down the rabbit hole for music anymore, they just come for spoonfeeding and end up with a collective hivemind. On the surface at least. Then you have the issue of /mu/ having a lot of shit taste from underexposure and legitimate tismals interfering with it as well.
