Does anyone know of this Japanese punk band who has a live video on youtube where the frontman is pretty much playing one chord but has the audience eating out of his hand while he does it? That's real vague, but that's all I got.

Hum i know quite a fair lot of music made from japan as i was listening to lots of stuff and doing research for almost two years. I made a quick selection for this thread as it seems to pop up a little often. I think you can start with these if you want something more pop and essential.

>Listen to these
Happy End - Kazemachi Ronan
Boredoms - Super AE
Boris - Flood
Fishmans - Long Season
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor
Ryo Fukui - Scenery
Nujabes - Metaphorical Music
Lamp - For Lovers
Flower TravelIing Band - Satori
Tricot - The
Mass of Fermenting Dreggs s/t

>If you enjoyed the above then go on...
Jacks - Vacant World
Flipper's Guitar - Camera Talk
High Rise - II
Far East Family Band - Parallel World
J A Caesar - Jashumon
Cornelius - Fantasma
Ground Zero - Revolutionary Pekinese Opera
Guernica's 3 albums
Kazuki Tomokawa - Nikusei
Maki Asakawa - Maki II


I think you will enjoy at least one style out of these groups and musicians, as they are pretty much the essential classics in my opinion

Then for J-Pop I think you are just fine by starting with the following:

Chu Kosaka - Morning
Jun Togawa - Tamahime Sama
Miharu Koshi - Tutu
Yumi Matsutoya - Benisuzume
Minako Yoshida - Minako
Kyoko Koizumi - Kyoko in the House
Takako Minekawa - Cubic Room
Sheena Riingo - Kalk Samen
Soutaiseiriron - Hi Fi Anatomia
Ichiko Aoba - 檻髪

Chill city pop

Seaside Lovers - Memories in Beach House
Makoto Matushita - First Light
Hosono - Pacific

If you want more jazz, check out Otomo Yoshishide, Hiromi, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sadao Watanabe, Isao Suzuki, Minoru Muraoka, Yoji Ohno, pretty sure there are more but you can start with these just fine

Then there's more new age and esoteric, classical leaning stuff that might be interesting as well like Hiroshi Yoshimura, Kitaro, Ensemble Mkwaju, Aragon, Mariah.

For classical music, you might want to check out Toru Takemitsu, Joji Yuasa and Tochi Ichiyanagi.


There's a lot more but you can do just fine with these for now

Ive tried starting T-Square and Casiopea threads several times, but it doesnt seem like anybody knows anything about them. Both of these bands put out at LEAST an album EVERY YEAR, sometimes two or three, from 1978 to PRESENT DAY. AND they toured constantly! WTF

This compilation series was my intro to j-jazz, especially the Sleep Walker and Nobukazu Takemura issues (both great artists in their own right, by the way). You can find a lot of awesome stuff if you just follow all the artists on here and their projects.

Ok. Try Ctrl-F "jazz" itt
