Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've been listening to less of it lately. I miss those upbeat, catchy rhythms and engaging rock hybrids. I haven't been watching a lot of new anime lately either, so the songs I listen to are about half a year old at the very least. So my request to you is: New songs you would listen to? Thanks for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo_Sieg 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I currently listen to the Eurobeat songs of Initial D!, from the 1st all the way to the 4th stage, especially the Super Eurobeat albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Nah, I have my fill of eurobeat and techno. I now permanently register them in my brain as "racing music" instead of "clubbing music". I was looking more along the lines of songs with instruments in them, maybe a little j-rock, or anything upbeat and catchy, really. Just no generic high-pitched vocalists or enka, please. =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asahi 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well, right now i'm sticking with two J-pop artists right now, KOTOKO and Mami Kawada (both did ops for Starship Operators, not that i've seen it ) but whenever i do hear a J-pop song i like then i actively make an effort to find it and "obtain" it. Why i mentioned KOTOKO and Kawada is that when i hear a song i really like, i start to "obtain" other songs by the same artists. this method is sort of alright, because most of their songs are kinda the same style, if you know what i mean , but im definately not afraid to go listen to other j-pop artists *raises finger* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Ooh, KOTOKO? I've only listened to 'Being", and I liked it a lot. I haven't listened to any of her other songs, too. I'll look around for more of her and Mami Kawada. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant 96 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'm a BoA fan so I listen to her Japanese songs quite often. Other than that, I don't listen to much J-pop. I still put on Speed once in a while when I feel nostalgic. Then there's Namie Amuro and Aikawa Nanase somewhere on my playlist. And oh, Ayumi, too. Of course.

Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Rolling Star by YUI... quite infectious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraceJP 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 One of my personal favorites right now is Angela Aki. Not sure if her music is exactly what you're looking for, but I find it really...likable. It's the kind of stuff that you could listen to over and over again. She performed an ending song for Blood+ called "This Love" (Haven't seen the series, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgmf x20a infinite 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 BoA is good artist i like her songs. Also find YUUKA good (is that j-pop?) I find gundam seed songs interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant 96 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 My friend's recommending Koda Kumi. Is she any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Justice 0 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 My friend's recommending Koda Kumi. Is she any good? Yes, quite good. The song Yuna sings in FFX-2(the original Japanese) is one of hers, IIRC. I would actually have to recommend "Destiny" by CHiYO. It's the opening theme of the series Gin-iro no Olynssis (Character designs by Hisashi Hirai, of Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny, S-CRY-ED and Fafner, but IMHO it's a good show anyway) The song is catchy as all heck, and it's a good one too. Other than that, anything by Nami Tamaki, TM Revolution, or High and Mighty Color. Ayumi Hamasaki's always worth listening to as well.

liubei013 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yeah, Ayumi, BoA and some of the others were already mentioned. I tend to listen stuff by Folder5 and Hitomi as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'm shocked that no-one listed Utada Hikaru! Her song's Passion, Hikari, Tokyo Nights, Sakura Drops, and her latest single Flavor of Life are nice. Also, Hikaru has albums in both Japan, and the US. She's a muli-talented artist that is fluent in both English and Japanese. Her songs Passion, and Hikari are best known from Kingdom Hearts I & II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Oh yeah. But it seems that I out-Hikaru'd myself during the release of KH 1&2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgmf x20a infinite 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 yeah same i was into her when i was playing kh 1&2 but....her songs gave me a headache from listing to them to much....she got old for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 did anybody ever listen to ZONE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asahi 0 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 did anybody ever listen to ZONE? lol, never heard of 'em Well, thats prolly because i dont know any good jpop artists (well, 'cept those that did intros to animes ) I would also like to throw a question out there. Any BoA songs that anyone would recommend? I just got Amazing Kiss (lol) off my friend, its not bad and i'd like to hear more (i don't really like randomly dling songs, to find out theyre not to my taste or something ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo_Sieg 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Does anyone know what song can be heard in this video? Check it out here! It's stuck in my mind right now and I would want to have a copy the I can listen to. Does anybody know what song is this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuku with Nodachi 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well, it's Chinese, and I'm guessing knowing "Kame" doesn't help. It's worth a try googling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liubei013 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 @Asahi: 'Kimochi wa Tsutawaru' is a decent song by BoA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo_Sieg 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Since this is a J-Pop thread, I think this is appropriate here... I saw a little video and I just love the background song used in it! It sounds so cute that I can't stop playing it in my head, hehe.. Can you guys help me? Does anybody of you know what song is this? The song is here. Thanks for anyone who knows what the song is, never mind the dude who's always on the video. BTW, the video is from my sister, so don't assume anything again, hehe...
