In the spirit of Punk Rock I thought I'd make a thread where you can post about some bands or artists that most people have probably never heard of. I'm always looking for new bands to listen to so I thought this would be a good way to do that, as well as share some of my findings with those interested.
Anyways,
I just found about this band called Capock today, they seem pretty awesome. Sorta like a jazzy pop band. The vocalist is also pretty cute :P
their website http://capock.net/
here's a vid of a street perfromance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyTx88oqVSE
the guy who upped it has tons street perfromances from parks in Tokyo, some are pretty good and some are pretty horrible.
-
Oh shit, Capock!
I caught one of their street lives when I was in Japan. :O Good stuff, indeed.
-
They're pretty nice. I looked through some of his vids, and indeed some are pretty bad. I found Drunk Girls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XK2OqYCLSg) to sound pretty good.
-
Alright, to pimp some of my favorites.
アンチノイズ (Antinoise)
(http://img316.imageshack.us/img316/1584/antinoiseam8.jpg)
http://sound.jp/antinoise/
Music style is just plain pop/rock, I guess. I was fooled by their street live since that was a lot harder than their studio recordings. :lol: They've released two mini-albums so far, the latest one was just recently, 4 days ago.
ラヴスナイパー (Love Sniper)
(http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/5597/lovesniperju7.jpg)
http://www.lovesniper.jp/
Good stuff. I hate myself for not buying their album. Saw them at the "pipes of piece" event in Yoyogi Park. One of their songs is currently being used in a CM for some show I've never heard of. Oh, and their bassist is awesome. :lol:
ゆやゆよん (Yuyayuyon)
(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/2686/yuyayuyonwt3.jpg)
http://www.yuyayuyon.com/
My current favorite. It was instant love, I tell you! They're crazy as fuck. Discovered them in the same event as Love Sniper.
-
WOW! All of the above bands are great! Please let me know if you have more stuff from them (especially Love Sniper)
-
Capock is pretty cool, I like their sound. As is Drunk Girls, they remind me of GO!GO!
Damn Ayabie knows a bunch of cool bands :o
I haven't heard the other two, but I got that Yuyayon single, which was pretty sweet.
Here's a band I found out about from reading through HALCALI's blog. Yucali picked up their new album and she liked it a lot.
i-dep
(http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/9919/ideprs7.jpg)
http://www.i-dep.jp/
Electronic dance/pop band, who also throw in jazz in their sound. Pretty close to Fantastic Plastic Machine and Mondo Grosso esque stuff. They have a nice male/female vocal combination. I've only heard samples on their site, and its pretty good stuff. If anyone has their stuff hook me up :lol:
-
Speaking of Antinoise
here's a street live from the same guy as the capock one :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSQed4zswYs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSQed4zswYs)
Here's another band called bicycle http://www.bicycle4.com/ (http://www.bicycle4.com/)
they're a pretty generic pop/rock band, but still a nice listen. the vocalist needs a little work, but it's not too bad. They had three songs for dl yesterday but it seems they took two down... I dled them but can't remember the titles as there were no tags or titled in the filename. :/
One of my recent favorite bands right now is Ogre You Asshole (http://www.ogreyouasshole.com/). I mentioned them on IRC a few times. They're not as obscure as the other ones mentioned in this thread but still not really known. They're pretty mellow rock. You can listen to some of their songs on their myspace account which is linked in their site. It has a song from their new mini album.
Oh and nice bands guys.
-
by the time i find obscure bands, everyone else has already heard of them :/
-
I've been looking for Ogre You Asshole's stuff on SoulSeek but to no avail...
Some more bands.

http://www.hhts.net/index2.html
This shit is awesome. :lol: Not as obscure as the above bands, but they don't seem that popular. I'm lucky that I managed to find one of their albums. They play a mix of funk/jazz/rock, with occasional vocals.
Bash the Monkey
http://bash-net.com/
Not particularly interesting, just generic hard rock. These guys seem to play a street live once every week, and at the same time and place, too. Apparently they're good friends with Capock. Capock's guitarist substituted for one of their members when he was sick. It was fun seeing him improvise. :lol:
--
Oh, and here's a pic from the Yuyayuyon performance, by the way.
(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/5690/yuya0607172xd6.jpg)
They were performing "Yu", which pretty much is a strange monologue by Ueno, the bassist. :lol:

Video Artist / Musician from Kyoto, born in 1979.
http://www.takagimasakatsu.com/
I can't really classify his music, it varies, but it's rather minimalistic and reminds me of ACO (irony album), Yann Tiersen and ma-a-aybe World's End Girlfriend (http://nippop.com/artist/artist_id-241/artist_name-world___s_end_girlfriend/) (like weg-ultralite lol)... you can tell I suck at genres, so sample!

-
I've been looking for Ogre You Asshole's stuff on SoulSeek but to no avail...
I have their album and demo shared on soulseek(i actually got them both from soulseek). I'm usually in the japanese indie room, so look for me in there. You have to be in my list to see my files so you can PM me or something. Anyone else interested, just pm me on slsk as I'm usually there.
If there are enough people who want it, post here or pm me and I guess I could up it on some server.

(http://www.filepulse.org/files/140/aedon/takagi_masakatsu_-_journal_for_people_-_j.f.p.mp3)
Just noticed this question... Really that's all up to the person posting. I really don't care at all, they could be a pretty famous band, but if you think they aren't really in the spotlight and you'd like to show/introduce them to more people, it's all good really.
Even if you know that I or others know the band, post it anyways, cause there is most likely someone who hasn't and would like them.
-
Three posts in a row :lol:
I recently got into the band NATSUMEN. They're not really that obscure but I have never noticed anyone here mention them.
Amazing instrumental band. I guess you can say they're a mix of Jazz and post-rock. They sort of sound like a post-rock skapara. I highly reccomend them to anyone looking for something a little different. They haven't really released much though.

Bump. Love Sniper now has an audioleaf!
http://www.audioleaf.com/lovesniper/
Full sample of Satsukiame. Hot.

i don't know where to go and this like the most likely place for me to ask this.
I wanna get some info on 3 groups. i try yahoo and google search them but nothing seems to come up.
1. BAAD, who sang the opening song to Slam Dunk - Kimiga sukidato sakebitai
2. Pulltab to Kan (or Can), they sang the song wonderful days from one of the Prince of tennis anime ending theme song.
3. SYMBOL - they sang one of Initial D 4th Stage insert song "forever Young"
like i said, i try searching the net for their info but to no avail. with BAAD, i actually got their group name because i got to obtain a slam dunk ost and that's what was listed as the artist. since it's been like a decade now, im not suprised that no one would know them, but Slam dunk when it ran was an extremely popular manga and anime throughout asia so maybe someone HAD heard of them and the song is truly awesome. With Pulltab to Kan and SYMBOL, since both the anime that it came with is recent, im hoping that someone would know something about them.
well that's all i have to say, if anyone have any info on the 3, please respond either post it here or via PM if it's not too much trouble. thanks
i didn't where i can post this so i thought this was the most likely place to ask questions. im terribly sorry if im wrong and post this at the wrong place. I've been scolded about it b4 so i'm trying to be careful.

Hayashi Asuca (林 明日香)
http://www.asuca.jp/
http://ameblo.jp/asuca-hayashi
(http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/699/hayashiasucaeq4.jpg)
Child prodigy with an amazingly strong lower voice, released 3 albums and went to obscurity all thanks to Toshiba-EMI :x
Here's her debut song ake-kaze (http://www.filepulse.org/files/140/aedon/ake-kaze.mp3), it's hard to believe she was just 13 when it was released.
-
Wow she has a really strong voice for a 13 year old o_o It's actually stronger than many singers much older than her XD It reminds me of Nakashima Mika.
Have anything else?
-
Wow she has a really strong voice for a 13 year old o_o It's actually stronger than many singers much older than her XD It reminds me of Nakashima Mika.
Have anything else?
Sure, here's her 3rd album Chou (http://nihilistgiraffe.net/share/Hayashi%20Asuca/2005.12.14%20Chou/) :) She self-produced it, and she was like 16, so she's a damn genius lol
So, Asuca hasn't released anything for over a year and even joined a band (I don't think they've done anything beyond a few gigs), but she's finally releasing a single in March \o/
-
She's also quite cute. How did she just drop into obscurity while a bunch of worse acts are pretty popular... Toshiba-EMI must've really fucked up :lol:
-
I was wondering where she ended up. I've heard some of her stuff a little after getting into Japanese music. She has a really good voice. But other than that, I wasn't too interested. I should give her another try.
-
Well I did saw some of ther live performances and her voice was surreal. Yeah. But it seems like not too many people were interested in the type of music she made. Maybe because it wasn't...like...poppish enough?
-
aedon gave me a song by Asuca to play in the marimari memorial show back in August, and I didn't know anything about the artist until like after the show when we talked about it more.
I swear when I was listening I imagined a really mature singer in her late twenties or something. Then I was like, wow, 13? No way...

Got into these guys a few weeks ago. Though, I just found the video yesterday. lol. I went ahead and ordered some of their albums yesterday along with 酸素十倍 (http://oxy10.hp.infoseek.co.jp/) and acoustic girl (http://www.acousticgirl.net/).
-
I like their sound! I should be like you and order albums by the masses. Getting tired of looking for stuff by obscure bands. Might as well buy, lol.
-
lol they jacked the melody from the school bell. Not bad, but not very interesting. The best part of the song is that break down in the end, but maybe that's just the hardcore kid in me XD They have a similar style as me though. lol I'd like to hear more.
Ooh acoustic girl, I found out about them when I clicked on every band link on rin toshite's old site XD Haven't really heard much though
never heard the other band though, but looking that I like most of the bands they toured with, they're probably pretty awesome.
(LOL@RuRuRu, that's the band I mentioned in the GAM thread >_>)
-
Hell yeah, boy. It's expensive as hell, but most of the times it's all worth it. lol
RuRuRu are awesome. I initially planned to order their album, but Amazon didn't have it so I had to settle with 酸素十倍.

up-beat, mellow, contemporary pop-rock. Very pretty songs. Check out her short video clips, she's crazy lol
http://www.myspace.com/mesomeso
can't really put this in a genre lol. Similar style to World's End Girlfriend, but not as intense. Pretty and moody is really the only way I can describe it lol
Not exactly japanese, but he's in a japanese band. I met him on soulseek. :lol: His friends list has lots of really good ambient electronica acts from japan

here's one I just found.

BUMP
G-Ampere (http://www.g-ampere.com/)
I found this band a couple years ago but couldn't find anything besides the stuff on their site, but it seems they released a mini album early this year. It's pretty good from the previews on the site. They're like light pop-rock with some electronica elements.
I probaby still won't be able to find their stuff, but I can try right? :lol:
I can alteast let other people know about them. (Which then in turn makes it easier for me to find their stuff >_>)

skull candy seem pretty nice, thanks for that

There's Witchery Skank if you're into Skull Candy. More pop oriented, and has 2 vocalists. I always see them billed together, touring and stuff.
Oh, and an Uplift Spice video, cool. Is that a new song?
-
oh yeah, i like more female vocals than male ones.
muramasa is really cool, but i never heard an album of them, dunno exactly why. ^^'
witcherry skank isn't for me. those girls vocals aren't for my ears. ^^'
yep, that song is from their 3rd mini-album, rasen, released last month.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-G_VtivGFQ
okay, i have to admit that hiro's (ketchup vocalist) vocals are far worse than the witcherry girls. :lol:
and of course, the classic:
yum yum orange (skacore)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92-w7P2aicM

i listen to most of those bands, but i wouldnt really call them skacore... most are a lot more pop than punk. none of them are really all that obscure either.
ketchup mania's vocals make sayu sound like an angel, man XD
also, you check out oreskaband, tsutomo, if you dont already listen to them.
also do you have any uplift spice? theyre obscure for sure, can never find SHIT by them. all i have is shateki
-
double post FFOOOOOOO~!!
boy and i were talking about how we hadnt found any new obscure/indie bands lately, then i remembered this one
Paraele Stripes - PHIRST TENSE (http://www.sendspace.com/file/e1c3n4)
pretty awesome electronica/downtempo with some emo thrown in. reminds me of a capsule+scll love child, girls tape store vibe goin on. anyway, i really liked it. enjoy~
also, dont remember where i got it. kmc or jps...

BAZRA.
(http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/1691/bazra200511id9.jpg)
Not really obscure, but I haven't seen them mentioned around.
Here's their most recent album
(2007.04.11) フトサマス (http://www.sendspace.com/file/6s3iaj)
They sound like Sambomaster, or close enough.
edit: Also,
FOOL&SCISSORS
(http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/649/foolandscissors560x300di2.jpg)
Bought their first album a couple months ago. Pretty minimal and simple rock.
(2004.05.12) キモチハツタワル (http://www.sendspace.com/file/sqmu4r)
They've since replaced their bassist, or she left the band, or something. I can't find much info aside from their website.
-
BUMP
G-Ampere (http://www.g-ampere.com/)
I found this band a couple years ago but couldn't find anything besides the stuff on their site, but it seems they released a mini album early this year. It's pretty good from the previews on the site. They're like light pop-rock with some electronica elements.
I probaby still won't be able to find their stuff, but I can try right? :lol:
I can alteast let other people know about them. (Which then in turn makes it easier for me to find their stuff >_>)
I've got two mini-albums by them, I'll up them. :lol:

Funny thing is that Hiro's vocals don't bother me at all. But I listen to ConCon Jump a lot without any problems, so that probably says something about me. Definitely recommend them since they fit in with the other groups mentioned so far... provided you can take the vocals.
Also Arinco∞Gang and Bubblegum come to mind in that punk/pop-punk category. Tokyo Pinsalocks in the more rock category. Emmie the STRIPPER and Retro Honpo for ska.
And hey, I just noticed that Kiiiii never got mentioned here? Unless I missed it. Their Al & Bum from a couple months ago was amazingly fun.

Mind uploading the album?
-
tenkei:
yeah! i was about to post something from oreskaband here. they're just startin and are pretty young, but have a lot energy. their full album is really interesting.
about uplift spice, yeah, i have all their cds. i just have to copy the links, already uploaded their songs for someone. ^^
hmm i call all them skacore because they have the fast powerfull beat from hardcore and the metal trio (sax, tromb, trump). of course if u compare them to western (especially american) bands, they are pretty different. that's why some people (me included) call the japanese skacore scene as the "fourth wave of ska". if u look at the western bands that appeared after operation ivy, all of them are similar and have this "obscure" style. that's the third wave of ska. the first and second waves (jamaican and english, respectively) aren't "obscure", as the japanese scene doesn't.
of course there are exceptions: reel big fish in USA is so "pop" as japanese bands and oi-skall mates in japan is so "obscure" as western bands. just to mention two groups...

oh someone mentioned retrohonpu already! i would post something from them too! that music "scooter" from them is simply fantastic!

Well, it is "The Obscure Band/Artist Thread" They're pretty well known. And just curious, why upload everything as individual files o.O?

well, i usually upload things separated because my internet sucks, a big file takes a whole day to upload. if it doesn't happen an error.
when i talked about shakalabbits i was talking about the whole forum, didn't find a thread of them here, and so i mentioned them in this thread, instead of creating a new thread. ^^
oh i discovered retro honpu from a compilation album... "princess ska" i think...

Checkicco (チェキッ娘)
(also romanized as Chekikko)
(http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9317/bestmemvq7.jpg)
Checkicco was an idol group created and produced by Akimoto Yasushi (who also produced Onyanko Club and is now producing AKB48), along with Mizuguchi Masahiro, a producer for Fuji TV who had the idea of creating "an Onyanko Club for the Heisei era (1989-present)". They debuted in 1998 with the single "Dakishimete" (yes, same year Morning Musume officially debuted). Their name comes from the phrase "Check it!", a catchphrase of Shinohara Tomoe.
There were several things about Checkicco that were similar to Onyanko Club. Like Onyanko Club, Checkicco also hosted their own TV show called "DAIBAtteki!". Each member also had their own number (ID) just like Onyanko Club's members did.
They released 6 singles, 2 albums (counting their best-of album), some IVs, a photobook, and a Dreamcast game, and had several subgroups such as chee's, METAMO, and M@M. Ultimately though, they were not very successful (their highest selling single, Hajimari, only sold 32,450 copies with its highest rank as 40 - this was back in the days when best-selling CDs were ones that sold over 100,000 copies) and broke up on November 3, 1999. At the Girl Pop Factory 2004 event, however, the members performed together as Checkicco again for only one day.
Anime theme singer Shimokawa Mikuni and gravure idol Kumakiri Asami are some well-known former Checkicco members.

Obscure pop acts are always welcome.
Though I'm generally not a big fan of other idol groups other than H!P ones(with a few exceptions), and lately not really an H!P fan either. So you can see why most of my mentions here are rock/punk bands.
Though I really like Chee's. Have any music by them?
-
Yeah, I have some chee's songs too. The Checkicco album doinkies uploaded also has some songs by them.

A lot of awesome bands in this thread.
I'm new around here and I wanted to share a couple bands I've been digging recently.
First is Nine Days Wonder and their 2nd album With Euphoria. Kind of a mix of post-hardcore and dance punk I guess you could say.
With Euphoria

Thanks!
susquatch didn't really impress me. At some points they were sorta going off time... but that section of the song I think was a bit off in itself. I really liked the instrumental of their track in the beginning though. And they looked really young, so they probably still have lots of room to grow.
Didn't really like The Court and skipped their little set thing. :lol:
Either way, wasn't really impressed with any of the band's perfromances :lol:
Though Avengers was really fun to watch.
-
Yeah, I read reviews saying susquatch's set on the DVD sucked compared to their usual live performances. I was just excited to see the members for the first time. The guitarist looks like a shorter version of Atsushi from London Boots. :lol:
-
thanks for teh stuff yo
i enjoyed avengers set most, but i thought everyone did a pretty good job
-
I've only actually seen the band apart perform, but I was excited about avengers. The susquatch guitarist was totally facing the wrong way. :lol:
Thanks for the stuff.
-
I listened to the mini-album and it wasn't bad... could be a little more polished though.
They have a very American indie/emo sound with Japanese indie guitars or something :lol:
I'll be looking forward to other releases though.

Anyone have stuff by iLL, btw?

Sentimental Bus - Sayonara Girl
http://www.mediafire.com/?8ml0lzpxllg
They were pretty well known some years ago but when I found their video ~2 years ago I couldn't find their album for the life of me. After many months of searching, I finally got it on soulseek. I dedicated a lot of my time to look for this, so hopefully you'll enjoy! I hope this is obscure enough, because it's not necessarily unknown, but it's certainly difficult to find!
Watch this for a sample, the single that was actually on Oricon's top 100 some years ago:

(http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/2620/hallwaysmallxi0.jpg)
Anoice is a six-piece instrumental group from Tokyo. Their musical style is a mixture of classical, ambient and electronica, with prominent piano and viola among more traditional rock instruments. They released one spectacular album in 2006 and are currently on hiatus, with members involved in other projects. I could swear I pimped them before, but search tells me otherwise. :|

Takahiro Kido started out as a member of Anoice but is now releasing solo material. While similar to his work in Anoice, his solo efforts are described as more uplifting and with a few listens I could agree.

recently found this chick Quinka, with a Yawn. i find her to be pretty awesome. piano based down-tempo folky pop, a few more upbeat tracks here and there. she has a pretty sweet voice, which takes some interesting turns now and again. boy said she reminded him of odani misako. anyway, really good stuff, check it out:

http://www.mediafire.com/?rzdxycvzlwm
Thanks.
Liked it more than Sound by iLL, though the sound is considerably different.
The Quinka stuff is pretty nice too. I was gonna torrent, but I'll just grab it here. :lol:
edit: well now that I listened to her album.. sounds nothing like Odani Misako as far as the instrumentation goes. :lol: The vocal style is similar though, I think.
They're not very obscure but, anyone have stuff by Clammbon? I'm specifically looking for 'Best' and 'machiwabi machisabi', but I'll take any of their other albums. I only have 'Musical' and their live album. All the links I came across are dead or were removed, so help me out yo!
-
Clammbon - Machiwabi machisabi (http://www.mediafire.com/?2bv2tynzzcn) Bam!
I was always kinda confused by Clammbon's lack of popularity in foreign circles. They're really popular in Japan and they make great music. I have everything except for Ten and Musical. So if you could upload that I would be a happy man. (If you want anything else by themfeel free to ask)
Also, that Quinka album is probably the best thing I've heard all year.

Can someone tell me about this band: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wDmywlBx7fs
?
-
Wow, now that's obscure. :lol: Apparently they started out as ザ・ポチ! first but went through a name change to just ポチ!. They debuted in 1992 with Koi no Fuga, like you posted, and released 6 singles and 2 albums during 1992 and 1993. Seems like they had a few member changes as well.
It's likely they just disbanded after that since I that's all I could find. One of the members went off to make music for anime.
-
Epic post, and welcome to the obscure part of the forums, doubledown! :lol:
Do tell more about Mouse on the keys. Ordered sezession along with some other stuff but they have yet to arrive.
-
Damn, those are some awesome shows you've been to. That Midori show in Jan was a one man show? I didn't know they were that popular.
The Mouse on the Keys album is pretty nice. It's basically highly unoriginal but very well written piano jazz/pop instrumental stuff. How was the live? Was it pretty much like the album or was it any different?
-
Hmmm. I drop a bonafide gem in Usagi and everyone keeps perseverating on mouse on the keys. :?
It was actually Naht, PANICSMILE, mouse on the keys and Spiral Chord. I showed up late (intentionally) b/c the band I really wanted to see was Spiral Chord (ex-Cowpers/ex-Number Girl/ex-200mph)
[youtube=425,350]<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F-cijZrcuUU&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F-cijZrcuUU&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>[/youtube]
I caught the latter part of PANICSMILE's set and was in time for mouse on the keys and Spiral Chord.
mouse on the keys = intricate but not too math, edgy but controlled and far from manic, jazz with piano/keyboards/drums and support sax. With the mosh-inducing noise of the other 3 bands, mouse on the keys was an opportunity for the crowd to chillax. So minimal dancing, pogo-ing while pumping fist or moshing by the crowd. The mood was mellow but the audience appreciated the technical chops displayed and there was decent applause between songs. I haven't bought their CDs or bothered to download just yet so I wouldn't be able to offer a critque between their studio and live performances. Their live was solid but I prefer more "energetic" "guitar based" acts (eg I'd be more inclined to watch bands like Special Others or te' wrt jazz/instrumental).
Midori show at Loft in Jan was not a one man. I just editted out the other bands (Vola & the Oriental Machine, 54-71) for brevity's sake..... and I didn't actually see them. I arrived in Japan at 630pm on Jan 25 (the day of the show) and bussed it to the hotel w/ my luggage and took the Yamanote-sen straight to Shinjujku. Took me like 20 min to find Loft even though it's only 5 min away from the JR. hahaha. I only caught the encore of Midori's set but it was off the chains. Mariko was crowd surfing and making it quite far from the stage.
I vowed to see them again ASAP so I made sure i got tickets when Midori opened for Soul Flower Union in March (I was already planning to see Chatmonchy at Budokan Mar 31/April 1).
Here's some brief footage of Bugy and Midori i took (honestly, I hate videotaping, I'd rather be tearing it up with the rest of the crowd)

Midori is playing a one-man this Thursday at Shimokitazawa Shelter to kick off their tour in promotion of the new album.
Couldn't get time off work to go to this show. This week Rin Toshite is also touring, as well as Detroit7 w/ Bugy Craxone so I am incredibly choked not to be in Japan right now. To watch Mariko and Hajime go ape-shit in a tiny club like Shelter would have been godhead.
BTW I am going to watch Halcali in Chicago this Saturday. Anyone else gonna be there?

Ooooh, Spiral Chord. Anybody actually heard their new album? It any good?
I'm listening to usagi right now and it's pretty darn good.

As doubledown11 mentioned, Spiral Chord is a band consisting of Nakao Kentarou (Ex-Number Girl, (Ex?)-Sloth Love Chunks), Takebayashi Gendo (Ex-Cowpers) and Hirao Jun (Ex-200mph). Their sound, for the most part, is stripped and raw garage punk rock, although there are other elements here and there.

Fucking awesome track. Can't wait for the album.

I cried manly tears.

That was damn good.

Midori's new album is awesome as expected.
-
Indeed. It's at the very least on par with their second album. It might even be better.
Also the Karen album is very good. A surprise for me because I think Art-School is terribly boring.
-
The album is quite good I would say, though I only went through it once.
I totally missed the Sokabe Keiichi BAND album that came out last month. It's good though, some positive tunes. They just need to do a studio Telephone Love.
-
Also the Karen album is very good. A surprise for me because I think Art-School is terribly boring.
ART-SCHOOL, or just Kinoshita? :lol: I like the album, even though it's basically ART-SCHOOL with Achiko.
-
I've only ever listened to the one Art-School album (Love/Hate) so I can't really say for sure. Isn't Karen like half Downy, half Art-School? Or did I imagine that?
Dammit, now you're making want to re-listen to art-school to see if I like them again.
-
Well, guess it's no use convincing you if you don't like LOVE/HATE. :lol:
And yeah, KAREN = downy/ART-SCHOOL + Achiko.

Akira Kosemura & Haruka Nakamura are ambient/electronica artists from Tokyo, Japan. Their music is soothing, calm and minimalistic, often building on clear piano melodies. While Haruka sometimes incorporates acoustic guitar (and in the case of his solo album, the vocals of Janis Crunch) into his songs, Akira tends to concentrate more on on the sampling and electronica.
Their collaboration album includes two tracks from them as a duo, and four tracks from each solo. All the albums are well worth checking out, especially Afterglow.

Perfect Piano Lesson - Terra Incognita
http://www.mediafire.com/?wnntef2j92m
The opening track "Morning Spider" is fairly powerful in the vein of 241 Mondays, but for the most part the new album is a touch softer compared to Modernize. "Electric City" is pretty dope. Reminds me of The Telephones (another fave indie band of mine. can upload their albums too if people are interested), Anyways Terra Incognita is pretty solid all throughout, download and enjoy, biatches.

Summer = season of a thousand ginormous rock festivals
I could care less about RIJ, Sweet Shower, Setstock etc
What I want to know is when the hell Zankyo Matsuri #4 is going to be? So far no info on the Zankyo website.
I went to the festival last year (though I missed a few bands b/c I went over to O-west to watch pinpan. hahaha. Like I'm gonna pass up a chance to chill with Chopper and Nana)
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2141/2554452378_b0295cf68b_o.jpg)
Also hoping for a Firefox festival '08.
http://www.firefoxfestival.com/top_en.html
They should use a bigger venue than Shibuya Boxx if they hold one this year. That place is tiny, prob 300 ppl max or so.
-
^ you missed a few of those bands to hang out with Chopper and Nana? Unless you were all drunk or you were trying to hit it, not worth it. :P
Looks like a kick ass festival.
Not complaining, but since when has masudore been with zankyo? They should sign them and maybe they'll actually get a chance to release a real album.
I'm hoping for another firefox festival too, cause I could actually watch it :lol:
thanks for the album btw

Yasushi Yoshida

(http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/2343/yoshidavh2.jpg)(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/8497/livephotobd2.jpg)
Yasushi Yoshida is a solo artist combining classical and electronica much in the way his labelmates World's End Girlfriend and Kashiwa Daisuke do. Similarities are naturally abundant, but Yoshida has created a sound of his own, sometimes purely classical, sometimes quite experimental. More importantly, his music is fucking brilliant, worthy of his aforementioned fellow artists.

^Oh fo sure. The preview on their myspace sounds good. Also, a day after on the 19th, is the release of a new Anoice album. They put some samples on their myspace page as well. Some peeps are already gushing about it, bastards...
Good times. Hmm, should share something...

Thanks, I like. Love their concept.

Beats me how people got the new album this early. :/
It either leaked or the band members were nice enough to sell it on the web.

Just got back from miaou's release party.
To sum it up, their music attracts cute girls. :lol:

And the real reason Ayabie likes miaou is finally revealed.

Hey, It would be lying to say cute girls isn't one of the perks of listening to certain music. >_>

Finally. Anoice's 2nd and 3rd album released simultaneously. Out of Season is the official studio album, Ruined-Hotel Sessions is thrown in free of chage if you buy 3 other Fleursy Label CD's. I suppose it's the only way to get it actually. I'm not too informed on the details but it does sound like it was recorded in a ruined hotel. :P
They're ambient/electronica/classical/whatever. Read the Anoice Intro post (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=5935.msg465662#msg465662).

But some of my favorites on there, thanks!

I'm a little paranoid of the landlord finding out what I'm using his intarweb for, so here's a single track from the Zankyo Compilation released last week. :lol:
te' - 他に寄せる信頼の大部分は、己の内に抱く自信から『生』まれる。 (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qtv1hiye4i7)

I just recently listened to te', sore wa track 09 and fell in love. So I asked Stryfe for their stuff for further experience. Thanks ayabie :D
-
GJ ziggu! Ye shalt be converted.
Thanks for the new track Ayabie, sounding tight as always. You in Japan now or something?
I better look for that compilation then if you're under intense landlord-scrutiny. :P Although I never pimp western shit here, I gotta emphasize that Zankyo's non-Japanese bands are excellent as well. Appearing in that compilation: We're From Japan (no, they really aren't from Japan, but they're awesome), 65DaysOfStatic (Fall of Math is one of my all-time fave albums), Lights Out Asia, Scraps of Tape, Do Make Say Think are all bands that I enjoy quite a bit.
-
te' sounding good as always. Thanks for the track.
Can I get a reup on that compilation? Sendspace is dead.

So I happened to cross upon this band Acacia Orchesta (http://acacia-o.com/menu.html). They're a Jazz Rock band sorta like older Tokyo Jihen, led by singer/songwriter Misaki Fujiwara(who I never heard of).
You can sample a few songs on myspace.

No avail on finding the album though :/
Oh and anyone have the latest Qomolangma Tomato album and wouldn't mind sharing. Got the first half, but the second half won't dl(stupid slsk and weird fonts)...
And while I'm making requests,
Just found this band Fox Loco Phantom. How would I describe them... Dance Punk/j-indie? :lol: Well they're pretty awesome.
http://www.myspace.com/foxlocophantom
anyone have their albums? Found them but I'm like 305th on queue... and some other guy has them in but different encodes/bitrates for different tracks and I HATE those.

Ugh, Fox Loco Phantom. I downloaded their latest album a couple weeks back and it was terrible. That said, here you go.
http://community.livejournal.com/indie_yuuwaku/tag/fox+loco+phantom
I have that new QT album too. I'll try upping it tonight.

Many thanks kind sir.
I was looking through my messy ass files of things I haven't listened to and found their first album in there... did you already share that? :lol: I knew I heard that name before, but forum search didn't pick it up...

Limelight on the blue Q.T. (http://www.sendspace.com/file/q0bro6)
Also does anyone have anything by or (know anything about) the band Squimaoto? It's my understanding that they have one album out but it it seems impossible to even buy it (which is what I want to do) outside of japan.
http://www.myspace.com/squimaoto
-
ah ok, but thanks again.
And after listening to the first few tracks of both albums, I agree Fox Loco Phantom's first album was far superior, but still found the second listenable.

liked the stuff on their myspace so ill check them out. thanks

dude, I uploaded Fox Loco months ago in my 1st post in this thread along with Wash? and Usagi. Although I deleted that post a few weeks ago. hahaha.
I agree the 1st album is better. The post-wave/dance-punk-ish stuff is better suited to bands like the Telephones.
I'm currently in Japan right now.
Saw Bugy on the 22nd. I love this band but was mildly disappointed at the songs they chose to play. Here's the setlist:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3233/2801369949_e29f544854_o.jpg)
(don't mind the other crap in the photo, it was for a post in a diff forum)
Also went to soutaseiriron, leo imai, group_inou on the 26th. I like soutaseirion's chillax groove but they are one of the WORST bands to see live. Bunch of lifeless mannequins on stage. group_inou on the other hand brought down the house. Easily one of the best live acts in Japan right now.
Caught Dieundokai2008 on the 27th with Far France / King Brothers / Midori / Zoobombs / nhhmbase & usotsuki barbie.
To sum up how freaking loud and energetic the show was... Midori was the tamest band in the line-up!!
Actually, that's misleading. Midori actually played an "acoustic" set as Mari-chan left her guitar backstage. And oh yeah... Mariko SHAVED HER HEAD just over a week ago. She looks uber freaky but still oozes with charm on stage... in a sadistic sort of way. hahaha.
King Brothers impressed me the most. I had heard they are one of the loudest bands on Earth... and goddamnit that rumor is no exaggeration. The best part was when they threw their equipment into the middle of the audience and started playing right in the center of the crowd.
I took some videos:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=dPLjUxa4nZM
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=wOrna-pLx4Q
you have to skip to ~2min mark to actually see the band. hahaha.
My vids don't give a good sense of how manic they are so here's an older YT link someone else upped:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjfd7lAOyts
i didn't take any other vid footage but I have the entire show in audio.
Zoobombs were great as always but they essentially did the same extended jam they played opening for Qomolangma Tomato at the show i went to last month. here's a quick clip i took b4 security told me to stop: (note qomo came on stage to jam with them)
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=P8sJ5QzpWr0
Saw the band apart and Scoobie-Do last night nad will catch Zazen Boys tonight.
-
....i hate you....
XD
-
Lol I was wondering where your post was. I knew you posted the Fox Loco Phantom album up on here.
I quite like Bugy's setlist, on the other hand, lol. "Romancist" really hit me; good mixture of recent tracks.
Anyway, forgot to ask you, but how is nhhmbase live? You would assume they would be pretty tame judging from their studio tracks, but I guess not lol.

dude, I uploaded Fox Loco months ago in my 1st post in this thread along with Wash? and Usagi. Although I deleted that post a few weeks ago. hahaha.
I agree the 1st album is better. The post-wave/dance-punk-ish stuff is better suited to bands like the Telephones.
ah so it was you :lol: sorry about that, that's why you don't delete your posts. XD That and why I should listen to stuff when I get it. :lol: But I knew I've seen that name from this forum, but it was gone.
oh and I actually prefer that album to The Telephones but w/e. :P
And is that the zankyo compilation I see? Need to go look for that.
I'm finally in the mood to go look for stuff, but the summer is already ending... not like school or sleep will stop me anyways >_>
Everytime you post I tell myself I need to go to Japan. :lol:
-
How long are you staying in Japan, double? I'm heading to Alleyhall on Sunday to see GROUP (and possibly some other bands as there's no actual schedule...) if you want to hang out. :lol:
I do wonder if they're your cup of tea, though.

I actually leave on the 31st but I'll be back again Oct 4-19.
I've seen shows at Shelter, 251/440 and Que in Shimokitazawa but I had never even heard of Alleyhall until you just mentioned it. Sounds like a cool live house for bands just starting out. Superdeluxe (in Nishi-Azabu) seems to be a new-ish live house that caters to avante garde/experimental bands (mostly non-rock). I probably wouldn't be interested in most of the bands that play there but I would have loved to have seen Phewwhoo
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9AsRpBkGsgc
and maybe this band:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=84hltAqpiRY
maybe. hahaha.
I can up the Phewwhoo album but it's back home in Toronto. It's pretty decent inst music in the vein of Special Others and toe (but not as melodic or skilled/tight). Bonus points for the female drummer though.
Oh, and I've heard of group_inou and Group Home (in the same clique as Gang Starr/Jeru) but I'm ignorant as to who GROUP are.
Maybe you can enlighten me.
re: boykun.
Hey man, you're gonna laugh at what happened. i know you warned me not to go "live hopping" and just head straight to Zazen Boys but I couldn't let those stupid Jill Decoy (don't even ask!) tickets go to waste. I was under the false assumption that Sherbets were opening for Zazen Boys but when I got to Liquid Room at 750pm (show started at 7pm) Zazen's set was already over! :shocked:
Ah well. Mukai et al are playing a ton of shows until the end of the year so i should have an opportunity to catch them again relatively soon.
Oh yeah, for fans of Perfume (like boykun) you might get a kick out of the following audio clip:
http://www.mediafire.com/?xhgmny4oev1
For the nihongo-challenged, what Kenzi (Far France) is saying:
Summer... summer's about to end, huh? Did you guys go anywhere this summer? The ONLY thing I did all summer was go to a Perfume concert. Midori's keyboardist, Hajime, is also an otaku-Perfume-freak. Anyone who wants to chat about perfume.. stick aound after the show.
LMAO.
Far France has a new album coming out early next year (they've alreay started recording).
Here's a sneak preview of one of the songs "Ira Ira" performed at a live earlier this year at Shinjuku Motion.
http://www.mediafire.com/?w8aaotyfqkb
And to answer boykun's question. You're correct that nhhmbase's studio reordings are mellow but they sound more powerful live. Nice stop/start dynamism ebbing and flowing in intensity.
here's the latter half of their set:
http://www.mediafire.com/?k6yg045kzad

^lol, sucks that you missed them. I guess Asai Kenichi is more important that Mukai :lol:
But Perfume for all. Disco!
That nhhmbase recording was better than their studio recording, imo. lol.
btw, I was wondering if anyone had anything by these cats,

LEO今井
I got a chance to see him live last week with soutaseiriron and group_inou.
I had low expectations going in, thinking his set would be extremely on the "poppier" side but it was reasonably enjoyable. Sort of a more techno version of base ball bear. The guitarist in his band is pretty dope. He gave the Japanese audience a little primer on Swedish culture referencing Swedish meatballs, lingonberry jam and of course.. IKEA. hahaha. Most importantly, the girls who are into his music tend to be on the hotter side.
group_inou easily gave the best performance of the night though.
right now I'm at my parents' place in vancouver. I'm flying back home in a couple hours and will upload the zankyo comp when i get back.
oh and F%CK! natsumen's show is on Oct 21st and i leave on the 19th. that sh_t always happens to me (missing a great show by 1-2 days).

Tenniscoats = Takashi & Saya Ueno
http://www.myspace.com/tenniscoats
Not exactly obscure as they are an underground but relatively popular husband/wife duo who have toured the states (w/ Deerhoof.. a great band by the way), UK, Australia, Sweden, and other countries besides Japan.
(in Japan, they've toured with the likes of Mono and Shugo Tokumaru)
I'd describe their music as a mix of folk/ambient/jazz. Aside from Tenniscoats, Takashi and Saya have their own solo material and whore themeselves out to many side-project bands.
Here's an interesting write-up on them: http://www.theage.com.au/news/music/the-constant-reinvention-of-tenniscoats/2007/06/07/1181089191433.html
Secai = Daisuke Namiki & Takeshi Hiruma
http://www.myspace.com/secai
These dudes engineer beats that are ambient/experimental.
I nornally don't listen to music of the ilk of either band, but i bought Tenniscoats & Secai on an impulse to broaden my musical tastes. If you wouldn't mind peeping music with a Portishead vibe and Quinka with a Yawn-esque vocals, this collab CD might interest you.

Thanks for the Tenniscoats, I was actually looking for their stuff a while back.

I actually have some Tenniscoats if you're still looking.
Fruits Lee & Miscellaneous Compilation tracks (http://sharebee.com/9330a0a5) <-- the compilation tracks include a boat version of "Pills to Kill Ma August" and an 8 minute long cover of "We Are the World."
I used to have that Boat/Seameal split too but the quality of the rip was so terrible I deleted it. It was like listening to old time radio.
-
I actually have some Tenniscoats if you're still looking.
Sure... I think I noticed them on the Noble Records site and searched for them briefly. I haven't had a chance to actually listen to them much at all yet but the little I heard via myspace etc sounded interesting.

One-man show Oct 14 at tiny live-house Pipe69 in Osaka. hell yeah!! (assuming my connections can get me tix. otherwise i'll have to catch them again in Nagoya Quattro where Mari-chan jumped from the ceiling and almost landed on top of me)
Massive post-rock/emo/hardcore/grind ORGY in Yamagata Sept 13,14 called Do It 2008.
http://doit.xxv.jp/band.html# (you can click on each band for profiles)
I can't make it but maybe Ayabie can. (note: tix for Sept 14 are already sold out).
Some of the bigger name bands = Qomolangma Tomato, Sokabe Keichi Band, Lite, Ogre You Streakinthesky, the telephones, Mass Ferment, toe, Shonen Knife, De De Mouse, miaou
I guess it's a stretch to call these performers "bigger name bands" but they are compared to the 29 obscure bands they put on this promo FES sampler I have.

I definitely have to catch this band live ASAP.

That's one fuckawesome lineup right there. Doubt I'll be able to go though, since it's in Yamagata.
By the way, how's the new Presence of soul and Uhnellys?
-
I'm synonymous with asshole now?
Looks like a great new festival. Hopes it becomes annual. But wtf @ neko hiroshi.

nice ups iacus and boy
and i had no idea doubledown held such feelings about sits lol. festival sounds pretty boss though... if you get to check it out, take vid of de de mouse. that dude is pretty sick, i wanna check him out live.

That's one fuckawesome lineup right there. Doubt I'll be able to go though, since it's in Yamagata.
By the way, how's the new Presence of soul and Uhnellys?
Presence of Soul "Blinds" is post-rock in the vein of Mono, Envy (recent) with female vox. I guess they sound a little bit like miimi but with better musicianship. The music on the CD as a whole is alot better than what they chose for sampling on their Myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/presenceofsoul
Props on recognizing uhnellys' CD! I like the CD but it's definitely an acquired taste. I used to be a huge hip hop head into indie/undeground acts like Dynospectrum, Binary Star, J-Zone etc. Aside from music released by the likes of DJ/producers like Nujabes and Deckstream, the hip hop scene in Japan is kinda ASS. That's why it was refreshing to pick up a CD like "Mawaru" that understands what indie hip hop is all about. And the funny thing is uhnellys isn't really even a hip hop act... at least not in the conventional sense. Apparently they have ties to Tha Blue Herb. The tracks with guest emcee SHAD are my favorites. Especially the "Exile" remix. The album would be comparable to listening to a Roots CD... i guess.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2KXrKIUpvM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUYhlKDGZGE
What's with all the female drummers coming out of the woodwork (eg oak, PHEWWHOO, Panicsmile...)
Too bad MASS DRE's female ex-drummer left. She was pretty dope.
P.S. Ayabie, the rega CD cut off in the bottom right corner is different from the one you upped. Though it only has 2 songs, one of them being a live version of Mexico.
If you can guess the CD in the bottom left corner I'll be REALLY impressed. (hint: J-indie band with a female singer.... that narrows it down to... 1-2 million bands. lol)
edit: hahaha. sorry steakinthesky. i was just playing around. just getting back for some of the backhanded (though benign) disses you've flung my way. :lol:
-
Thanks for the input. I've been pondering whether to purchase Mawaru or not, so I'd recognize the cover from miles away. I must say I have no idea about the remaining CD, though, despite the helpful tip... :lol:
-
I guess it's a stretch to call these performers "bigger name bands" but they are compared to the 29 obscure bands they put on this promo FES sampler I have.
Ohh, what's the story on that sampler?! "29 obscure bands" makes it sound pretty interesting. When/if you get a chance, would you mind upping it? Thanks! xx
-
Also does anyone have anything by or (know anything about) the band Squimaoto? It's my understanding that they have one album out but it it seems impossible to even buy it (which is what I want to do) outside of japan.
I don't have their album (haven't been able to find/order it either), but I have 2 squimaoto releases that I can upload for you. I'll edit this post when they're up.
-
Thanks for all the Tenniscoats, iacus.

clione-index is a post-rock/shoegaze trio from Osaka. They remind me a little of a mellower, shoegazey version of Sequence Pulse or something like that. Mono-esque guitars, lots of echo.

There's such a thing as biting... and then there's outright cannibalism.
(http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4517/l41f4b1d0fac75e87e6f5cadp9.jpg)
I thought the band "baku" that boykun mentioned was borrowing a bit too heavily from Clammbon (without even acknowledging them as an influence). They're still an interesting band however and i wouldn't mind looking around for baku's works and seeing them perform live.
And huge thanks to Stryfe for upping clione-index.
Definitely reminds me of Mono although the crescendo to an earsplitting apex is not as epic in their songs. I actually like how they're more chill and less pretentious sounding. Despite the huge influence in sound there's just enough contrast in style to obviate writing them off as suffering purely from Mono-itis.
Alright, i guess I should upload something myself.
Here's the promo sampler for the Yamagata Do It 2008 FES
You leechers better be thankful since the CD came sans tags and I had to input all the data from scratch.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ehk1qwhyulw
There are a few familiar names: LITE, toddle, Limited Express(has gone?) , nhhmbase, miaou, PANIC SMILE, the SHUWA
Most of the bands are very obscure and a lot of them are awful but there are a few decent ones in the mix.
I liked BED since they sound like a J-version of Fugazi. moool was alright. Otherwise its rather slim pickings unless you like grind and screamo. I've seen Discharming man and Yomoya perform before and have some of their eps. They could have chosen better songs to represent them on the sampler IMO.
Next is mainly for Ayabie's benefit, just in case he didn't buy the CD yet:

Discharming man, accidents in too large field and uhnellys sound pretty cool. And tiala are pretty great. I have their ep. Is good music.

ルルル was the opening act and 3nd closing. 3nd played like 3 new songs, so I'm smelling some new material in the near future. Oh, and Yamamoto is fucking badass. He dropped his glasses three times and was squinting for them after every song. :lol:

Hell yeah!!
Thanks Stryfe.
Sampler from Indies Issue #40.
(http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/indies_issue/imgs/d/8/d88f45fc.jpg)
http://www.mediafire.com/?urnum3ocmie
Lot of the same bands from the Yamagata sampler and some dope tracks by Clisms and group_inou.
Check out the tracklist http://blog.livedoor.jp/indies_issue/ (http://blog.livedoor.jp/indies_issue/)
This issue has an article entitled: New generation of Alternative Rock.
Basically their opinions on the new pioneers of indie music.
Bands discussed include:
about tess
accidents in too large field
bed
BOGULTA
CLISMS
DEEPSLAUTER
デラシネ
4 bonjour's parties
FLUID
group_inou
henrytennis
HOSOME
LLama
lostage
マヒルノ
miscorner/c+lloqtortion
mothercoat
nenem
にせんえんもんだい
Ogre You Asshole
Qomolangma Tomato
SHIFT
soutaseiriron
the telephones
TIALA
Tokumaru Shugo
uhnellys
YOLZ in the SKY
YOMOYA
I'm not sure i agree with all their choices but almost each band listed brings something innovative or unorthodox to the table.
My faves from this list would be Qomo, the telephones and group_inou. CLISMS and uhnellys are tight and I'm really starting to like bed and mahiruno from the samplers I've listened to. I'm not sure why YOMOYA's on this list. I've seen them live and they're decent but rather generic. Their schtick is that they bring this massive string of lights that they run across stage and wrap around themselves while playing. Tokumaru Shogo's a mad scientist with his endless array of instuments. Guy's a genius and i love some of his songs but not someone I listen to on a regular basis. I guess about tess is repping the post-rock side of things. Not sure if they're the frontrunners of up&coming inst bands but they are pretty damn good.
A bunch of these bands are on the sampler so have a listen.
-
thanks stryfe and double. gotdamn, im getting bombarded with new shit to listen to... i'm fucking behind
-
fuck yeah new sgt!
And I'll check out that comp.
Thanks for the stuff
I need to see if they get that magazine at any local japanese book stores. I'm very doubtful any of them would carry it though. :/
-
sgt. - Stylus Fantasticus
Sampler from Indies Issue #40.
Yayyyyy new stuff.
That's a pretty cool list of bands in that thar magazine right there. Maybe 7 or 8 of 'em that I haven't even heard of.
Hilariously enough the bands I dislike the most are the same ones that Double likes the most.

Well in my opinion I don't see much merit in the "music" (and in this case I use the term loosely) by bands such as tiala, deepslauter, accidents in too large field, デラシネ, Shift, FLUID or yolz in the sky.
Qomo, the telephones and group_inou are rehashing or blending genres from the past but at least they do so with some semblence of melody and skill.
Less Than TV (the label to which all these acts are signed, save for FLUID) is just biting the Gravity Records sound circa 93-95.
I actually listened to bands like Klickatat Ikatowi, Angel Hair, Antioch Arrow, Swing Kids back in the day but that phase lasted no more than a couple weeks before it got tiring and headache/nausea-inducing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH0hQcgPm9Y
IMHO there's no need to resurrect this brand of HC in the J-indie scene.
I support musicians that are creative, unconventional and willing to take risks but the tunes churned out by Less Than TV bands are a cacophonic turdfest that will be of no relevance save for using their CDs as paperweights and coasters.
It might be fun to mosh to these bands at a concert but there's very little to differentiate one noisecore band from another.
edit: actually i shouldn't have lumped Klickatat in there. they were pretty badass, esp Mario on drums.
-
The bands I am really excited about in that list are clisms, デラシネ, tiala, accidents in too large field, Tokumaru Shugo, bed, and にせんえんもんだい.
Though the only ones I have heard any actual albums by are TS, tiala, and にせんえんもんだい. (Those are all great btw)
Most of those hardcore bands you listed seem pretty original and/or skillful if you ask me. Especially tiala, AITLF, デラシネ, and Yolz in the sky.
I should note that I think Qomolangma tomato are pretty good. I just don't like them all that much. And I should probably give Group_inou and the telephones another chance considering I just gave them cursory listens before.
Out of curiosity what did the magazine say about any of those bands? Was it just a generic "these bands are good" kind of thing or was there more to it?

Despite being 100% Japanese my kanji reading skills are rudimentary having been born and raised in Canada.
The magazine gives short blurbs describing each band's particular style of music and the feelings/reactions evoked on listening to them.
All the bands on Less Than TV more or less got a description of "heavy guitars, violent rhythms but danceable post-punk"
They commented that Tiala is not only influenced by US/UK music but incorporate aspects from various styles/scenes across Asia including Singapore and Malaysia.
I scanned the article so you guys can read it. I'm too lazy to translate it though cuz that would necessitate cracking open my J-E dictionary and looking up 75% of the kanji.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3062/2856259884_0f9b1f4b56_o.jpg)
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3021/2855425795_8ece482394_o.jpg)
I was a bit harsh in my criticism of the Less Than TV bands. This style may be new and refreshing to the folks in Japan but to me it's a bit played out wrt the US hardcore/punk I grew up listening to.
But I am being hypocritical b/c although I don't like listening to these bands' studio works, they may be amazing to experience LIVE. And that's the way it is with Qomo and group_inou. I wasn't impressed by what I heard and saw (Youtube) of QT on first exposure and sort of wrote them off. A few months later I ended up going to watch them perform a "vs LIVE" with Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. I went to the show primarily to see Mass Dre but ended up a much bigger fan of QT at the end of the night.
group_inou is a band whose sound I hated at first. In terms of hip hop my fave emcess would include lyricists such as Slug, Sage Francis, Ras Kass, C Rayz Walz. CP (inou's MC) has a really abrupt, robotic flow which is pure shite if you want to go by US hip hop standards. In terms of beats, DJ/producers like Primo, J-Zone, Pete Rock and Nujabes get the nodfactor plus. I wasn't used to having chiptune/techno used as the primary instrumental for a hip hop track. Furthermore, Imai (inou's DJ) uses a mixer alone without turntables.
But then I saw this clip on Youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMMbG-PInHs
and the manic energy with which they perform and work the crowd got me interested in them.
If you keep an open mind and refrain from comparing them to conventional US hip hop then you might begin to appreciate their unorthodox brand of music. Imai is a freaking genius on the mixing board and cp is more punk than Mariko Goto on acid when he gets up on stage. I got a chance to see them a couple weeks ago and they put on a crazy, energetic show which gets even the most timid wallflowers dancing.
I'll upload "one camera no cuy" once mediafire is up & running again.
-
OK, so I just listened to a some Group_Inou and the telephones and while I still can't really get into G_I yet (it's the chiptune stuff that's turning me off I think) it turns out that I was confusing the 'phones and fox loco phantom with each other. Fox Loco Phantom = not good. The Telephones = not bad.
Thanks for the scans. I can read less japanese than you can though :lol:
-
group_inou seem pretty awesome, though CP IS pretty weak as an MC. I'd love to go to one of their live shows, some of the funnest music I've heard recently.
-
No way, cp used to be in uri gagarn? :lol: I remember seeing one of their videos on YouTube a good while ago.
Thanks for the scans, double!
-
Here's an audio rip of group inou's DVD "one camera no cut" which I found on slsk a while back.
The actual video footage is probably floating around somewhere (?KMC).
http://www.mediafire.com/?jf7hmgtd1l3
"one camera no cut" is a much better representation of their sound as opposed to their studio album "Fan"
i have uri gagarn's album "no. 1 oracle" but it's garage-punk that's somewhat bland in comparison to group_inou.
I can upload and send it to anyone who wants it though.
Since some people have expressed interest in uhnellys, here's their album Mawaru:

Thanks. Uhnellys is way better than I was expecting.
-
hi everyone i have been searching Yuki Murata's "Films" album... anybody ccan help me? :?
-
I made the same request a while back, actually. Still no sign of it...
-
finally listened to that sampler from the magazine. a couple interesting bands, but overall most of them were shite.
of the new bands i heard on it, esp dug on group_inou, henrytennis, water room
-
hmm... I actually found most of the bands listenable. But most of them didn't really sound like they were a "new" generation of anything. Hell some of those bands have been around for years :lol:
Only group that stood out to me was group_inou. Though I did like most of the bands on there for what they were, thought it was a fun sampler.
-
There were, like, three bands on the sampler that I didn't like.
But there were a couple bands where I know they could have used better songs to advertise themselves so I'm willing to assume it was the same for the bands I didn't like.
-
Does this thread come up on search engines or something? :lol:

Oh and I need someone to refresh my memory. I saw a PV a while back on youtube by a band, but I can't remember who, I just remember I liked the PV. I just remember it was a popular indie rock band and the PV was filmed in like a retro style and had a sex scene. :lol: I tried looking for it on youtube by searching a bunch of different bands but couldn't find it. I shoulda bookmarked -___-

damnit. iacus beat me to it.

Hey Ayabie, are you going to Nagisa Music fes?
It's in Odaiba and the lineup Oct 12 is pretty nice:
Rin Toshite Shigure, Midori, toe, Mouse on the Keys, oak, fukuro
http://www.nagisamusicfestival.jp/english/artist.html
I managed to get a VIP pass (there should still be some left for sale) which lets you access the bar and rest area where the bands will be hanging out.
I'm skeptical of getting the chance to meet RTS and Midori but imagine drinking shochu and beer with Pierre and Hajime and getting them shitfaced enough to try and shave the JPH!P logo on the side of Mariko Gotos' head? :lol:
scoring Kaela-chan's keitai # off Kashikura (toe) ? lol.
Fukuro is a band that I've seen live once before (@Shinjuku Motion on a bill with School Food Punishment, Knock Note Alien and Yomoya). They're a decent post-rock band. According to their bio (http://www.nagisamusicfestival.jp/english/biography/w02.html), Nisennennmondai look up to them as role models.
Anyhow, the thing I remember most about them was the guitarist who used a Strat with the left 1/3 of the body completely sawed off. Halfway through their set... completely arbitrarily... the dude harpoons his guitar as hard as he can into the bassist's chest. The bassist doesn't even flinch!! The whole audience was completely stunned :O
Meanwhile the guitarist saunters over to pick up his axe and begins to tune his guitar while the rest of the band continues as if nothing happened. That was one of the most random/hilarious things I've ever seen. I wish I got it on tape.
I recorded audio of the band AFTER that incident. here it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qoqutjpthfb (sorry it's the original wma file. i'm too lazy to convert it to mp3 and rename it)
Oh and in terms of bands that are cool/personable enough to hang out with fans and even go out drinking,
BYEE the Round are kickass in that sense.
Here's an interview from Hear Japan:
http://www.hearjapan.com/news/interview/Interview_with_Byee_The_Round
I love their response to the term "shimokitazawa kei"
I'm kicking myself for not watching them perform on my last trip to Japan but their live was on the same night as Zazen/Sherbets. And boykun knows how I fucked up missing Zazen by assuming they would be going after Sherbets.
Anyhow, here's BTR's ep "Give me a Chocolate"
http://www.mediafire.com/?gagdzulazwc
"Image" is my favorite song. It's as fierce as some of RTS' stuff but the guitars aren't as badass as TK's telecasting genius.
(the drums and bass aren't in the same category either but not many can hang with Pierre and 345).
Oftentimes a band will have great instrumentation only to be ruined by weak, pussy-ass vocals:
example = Ninaplay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0VRPJO9T5s
At least Byee the Round has vocals that are aggressive/powerful enough to complement the music.

Haha, I've been using this site quite frequently for the music you guys upload (which is awesome btw, thanks to everyone!) I noticed Ayabie in here (I'm Modernary on last.fm) Just introducing myself I suppose since I've had this thread bookmarked for quite a while. Anyways, I'm a huge fan of NATSUMEN and BOaT and am pretty stoked for the new NATSUMEN single. Really enjoying PHEWWHOO right now too, thanks for that. If you still need those 8m songs Ayabie (and anyone else for that case), here ya go.

Hey, nice to see you here, Lotto. :lol:
I got 8m's split single with Stereo Type a while ago if you're interested. It's got a new recording of ya-ma and a new track called sarala. I've also ripped the live performance of シズク that came with the DVD because it's that awesome.
Hey Ayabie, are you going to Nagisa Music fes?

http://www.nagisamusicfestival.jp/english/artist.html
As a matter of fact I am. Are you going to be in Japan during the event?
lol @ ninaplay. It took me a while to get into them because of the vocals, but I've heard worse.
-

10 Art-School, RTS, Ogre, Telephones, Novembers @ Akasaka Blitz
11 Qomolangma Tomato (1-man) @ Daikan UNIT
12 Nagisa Music FES (Ayabie, did you pay extra for a VIP pass on Oct 12?)
14 Midori (1-man) @ Pipe69 (Osaka)
16 Bugy Craxone @ Shelter
I might even fly out to watch ostooandell (one of my new fave bands. friends of sokabe keiichi who play really chill garage rock) in Okinawa on Oct 18.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvscncsyb1E
Problem is I'm travelling with friends who aren't really into Japanese music. Although one friend listens to Mad Capsule Markets. He saw Boredoms open for Nirvana back in the day and hated them. I made him a mixtape and now he's into Rin Toshite Shigure and strangely enough, Midori.
when I first saw the PV for ninaplay's song i was really impressed by the intro, then the vocals chimed in and i thought to myself.. why... WHY?!! It was kind of the same with Perfect Piano Lesson. Awesome guitars but weak vocals. I think PPL's singer would sound less effeminate if he sang in Japanese instead of English, but his vocals actually aren't that bad.
-
I see I'm not the only one who thinks that way about perfect piano lesson. :lol: I think it's cause it's like he's going through puberty when he sings sometimes.
And that^ PV was pretty awesome, I liked the vocalist's shoes :P Not really my kind of music though
-
lol, great instrumentation, bad vocals. The ninaplay dude took me by surprise. I was not expecting that at all.. just like the guy from The Hotels :lol:. Perfect piano lesson isn't as bad though. I got into them pretty quick.

Matryoshka is a duo from Tokyo, consisting of Sen, who handles all the instruments and sampling, and Calu, who contributes both haunting and fragile vocals. I'd describe the music as a dark and beautiful mixture of pop, shoegaze and electronica.

Well at least they are at Tower and HMV.
I almost bought this album on my last trip to Japan. Even though it came out last year, they had it on display for listening to coinciding with the release of sigur ros' last album.
Anyhow, thanks stryfe for the up.
Oh and thanks to Lotto for the 8m demo. That was some of the best shit I've listened to in a while.

Thanks for the upload, Stryfe!
I'm in Japan Oct 3-19.
As far as lives go, my schedule looks like this
Damn, if you're leaving on the 19th you'll be missing the Nest Festival. I'll hopefully be going and finally get to see group_inou and toe. Also, sgt.'s new tour starts on 10/17 at O-nest if you're interested in that.
Oh, and I just got into ostooandell myself. "music" is absolutely brilliant.
-
I'll join the chorus of people saying that ostooandell is good stuff.
-
Alright then..
here's ostooandell "Music"
http://www.mediafire.com/?zqooyzwnsrl
I hate to stab an up&coming band like this and post their album up but hopefully it'll increase their popularity and they'll somehow sell more albums (as if that'll happen).
Anyhow, they're a 3 piece band from Okinawa sans bass player.
The music is very simple. No tricky math or post-rock pretense. Just some fun, mellow garage power pop that exudes the laid-back feel the archipelago of Okinawa is well known for.
I'm a sucker for any indie band with a female guitarist/vocalist and MollyLo has the perfect balance of low maintenance chill coupled to random outbursts of wacky, hilarious nerdism. Love the random, soft shouts/chants of "Let's Go!" "yay!" thrown arbitrarily throughout the album.
One of my new favorite bands.
Ayabie has the opportunity to see them next month opening for Stan at Daikan Unit. (lucky bastard. I'll be back in cold-ass Toronto by then)
myspace (http://www.myspace.com/ostooandell)
re: Ayabie
Fu%k!!!
That NEST festival line-up looks killer! It should be a great live. There is almost ALWAYS an awesome show on the day or day after i leave Japan. It's weird that it's called NEST festival when it's playing at O-East . O-Nest is by far the best venue out of the O-East/West/Nest/Crest/Duo complex. group_inou is going to rock the f out of the crowd. I envy you.
-
I actually already had "Music" but yeah. . . . good stuff.
That nest lineup does look pretty good. I don't know anything about dosh but everyone else is great.

Um yeah... and I know who you got "music" from :roll:
-
heh. Can't sneak anything past you.
-
I've never been to O-east before, but I've always had the image that O-nest is the better venue out of the bunch. How is the stage compared to Nest? It's possible they're expecting a huge audience which can cause problems on Nest due to there being two floors.
Anyway, to start some discussion, I was reflecting over the year of releases we've had thus far and my list turned out longer than expected. :lol: I'm pretty sure these will make it to my final list, though:
sgt. - stylus fantasticus
LITE - Phantasia
miaou - all around us
旅団 - Terra Incognita
ALL OF THE WORLD - Finesse
Still around 3 months to go.
-
旅団 - Terra Incognita
ALL OF THE WORLD - Finesse
Who?
And my list might look something like this
Sawako - Bitter Sweet
Quinka, With a Yawn - Field Recordings
Nisennenmondai - Destination Tokyo
Then there's like a dozen other things that might fill out the rest. It's been a pretty good year for music so far.

http://henrytennis.com/
henrytennis are a five-piece (now six) band from tokyo who call themselves, "The new wave of progressive rock." They don't really sound that much like what you normally think of when you think of "progressive rock." Instead, imagine something along the lines of toe, except with longer songs and a gentler, more open sound. (lots of glockenspiel, lots of vocals) From 2006 this is their first and so far only album. Credits to melonpan.

here's the reissue of motoro faam's first album fragments
(http://motorofaam.com/images/d_fragments.jpg)
Motoro Faam - Fragments+ (http://www.sendspace.com/file/d6611u)
-
Oh right.. come to think of it, I never shared Fragments with ya guys.
Is this version remastered, reworked, remixed in any way?
edit: righto, should read myspace before posting comments.
The album has been re-issued in October 2006 as "Fragments +" from the U-Cover Transparente label. Extra tracks included in the CD are a new track, "circle shift", a remix of "a change of a cityscape" by U-Cover artist aus, and a remix of "dancer on a tangent" by ontayso, one of the major U-Cover artists.
So, cool, thanks man.
edit 2: Yeah I'm majorly tired but I did have this version already. xD
Thanks anyway! Fuckers bettar check it out!

I have been leaching of this thread for far too long, so I decided to make an account and thank all the people who took time to upload a large amount of great music. I am very thankful :D

I hear something, but I don't know how to put it. It's like only the left side of my brain is processing what I'm hearing. :lol: There is hardly a time when I hear music and feel nothing towards it, and I have no idea if I like it or hate it... I have no idea what she's trying to do with her music.
I'm liking that Kyoka though, and groupies is pretty cool. Gotta get some of their stuff.
The two of them are kinda cute too >_>
-
Listen to the album once, leave it alone and come back to it next week or something. It sounds better/makes more sense the second time you listen to it.
-
Hmm.. not sure how I feel about her music. I'm having trouble connecting, I guess, with it. So, I'm pretty much the same with sits.
I will do that, though.

It was just a big ball of noise to me the first time I heard it.
It gets better every time you listen to it.

FJORDNE is the solo project of FjS, better known as the programmer of the electronic pop band, fhenomina. He makes music based on two concepts, "sound texture" and "twisted time". He makes music using all kinds of acoustic instruments he can get and using a computer to transform them into a new time span.

One stupid guy didn't read the rules, fucked up and every peep is paying off. Life is harsh.
I don't think it's just cause of one guy. It's all the people who go here to just leech shit and don't seem to even consider contributing or atleast joining the forum. My intention for this thread wasn't for that, but for people to share some of their favorite bands and artists. They don't even have to post any dls, just link something to sample, or post your opinions about shit. It ain't that hard. This is a discussion thread, not a download thread. Like stryfe said, you can pm him if you think you should be able to dl stuff.
But welcome all new people and thanks for the new stuff. I'll check them out.
-
Just a note to the new guys from JMR, stop bothering iacus. Reuploading doesn't mean it's an original upload.
One stupid guy didn't read the rules, fucked up and every peep is paying off. Life is harsh.
It'd turned out like this either way, I just had no idea we had this many leechers.
-
I was also annoyed by the people who just calmly hotlinked my files on their blogs, sites, last.fm, wherever. Some peeps don't even bother to re-up shit.
Mackey, thanks a lot for the album! That site was driving me crazy. xD
...
Like stryfe said, you can pm him if you think you should be able to dl stuff.
Let me just clarify that this means my files only. Other uploaders can make their own rules.

I'm really getting into 54-71, wasn't too sure after the first listen, but they have grown on me!
-
Man, that's really unfortunate for us newcomers who want to discover new music. Well, guess the music hunting continues elsewhere. :tama-mad:
And no problem Stryfe, if you want to download from that site and if you don't mind installing another small proggie, get their RaySource program and that'll help you download the files. The speed that you get isn't that great either, but hey, free stuff, can't complain.

I'm really getting into 54-71
The new album is Awesome. I thought their last album was a bit uneven but this is just fantastic. Should be, took 'em five years to make it.

thanks for the new stuff. wasnt really digging that 54-71 though...
damn, getting backed up again, gotta listen to a bunch of shit

This is taken directly off their Myspace.
-Water Fai are a Japanese psychedelic-pop band, formed in Osaka in 2002. These four women dynamically contrast intricate melodies and soft harmonies with violent guitar-noise and electronic effects. They bring a much needed feminine approach to the post-rock genre that is so often dominated by male artists (and their biggest influences) like Mogwai and Tortoise. They bring their own translation of the sentimentality captured best by The Album Leaf and Yo La Tengo.
The band is closely aligned with fellow Osaka-based artists Afrirampo, Jenny on the Planet, Jew's Ear, Middle 9, Suquimaoto..etc. They performed their debut performance in 2002 as the background music for a live painting event. From oct 2008,new drummer,Tadahiko Aono(aka suspiria,walkman), enter the band.
Water Fai self-released their debut album,2004-2006, that was mixed and mastered by Japanese sound engineer Tokita (ex-u-lala), in September 2006. Brooklyn-based label, White Shoe Records, re-released this debut album,girls in the white dream, in March 2008.

i dont even know what to say about the nobuko hori album...

You can just say you think it's awesome, you don't have to be poetic about it or anything.
Seriously though, it's pretty well out there so I can understand why you wouldn't like it. I personally think it's brilliant however.
-
i didn't hate it, didn't love it either... im with the rest of the gang so far. i'll check it out again in a week or so, like you said.
did it remind anyone else of adachi tomomi royal chorus? although i hate atrc, it did remind me of them with weird backing music XD
-
Wow, 5 years! Nearly as bad as eksperimentoj, 1 album in about 8 years! Well I just bought my ticket to see 54-71 and LITE in London, really looking forward to it. We don't get to many Japanese bands here, especially indie bands, but they are both signed to an Irish record label, so are actually frequent visitors :P
-
awesome! id love to see LITE
-
That's great! Tell us how it goes.
Lite are supposed to be great live and 54-71 are notorious for putting on insane shows.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPu9VkEGVqk
-
nice, more j-indie bands need to come to the westcoast of the US, and I'm not talking about the popular mainstream ones like ellegarden, etc. Envy came once for a little festival and I fuckin missed it. And I missed when tsushimamire came here a couple times; one I didn't know about, and one cause I was a year too young for the venue at the time...
and after watching that, I think I need to give that 54-71 album a listen to. Wasn't a big fan from the stuff I've heard before.
-
Melt-banana, Boris, Polysics, Tsushimamire, Mono, and a few other bands seem to have american tours pretty often. (Like, annually.)
Of course their tour dates are never closer than two hours drive away from me, and they always seem to fall on busy nights/take place in 21+ clubs so I've never actually seen them live. But dammit I know they come!
-
In England I have seen Polysics, Mono, Boris, Vola & the Oriental Machine, Doping Panda, Bo-Peep, Levelload, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Cornelius and Soil & "PIMP" Sessions. I couldn't make it to Melt-Banana because I had been to two other gigs in the same week and spent way too much!
I know what you mean iacus, a lot of these bands play in small clubs/ pubs. I saw Polysics in a tiny pub in Manchester and they played to less than 100 people on a tiny stage. However the legal drinking age here is 18, so of course they are 18+ gigs.
Has anyone seen Acid Mothers Temple live? They have been to the UK twice this year and I was not really interested, but I was told they are very good live and they are coming back in November.
-
A friend of mine went to a show and apparently they sucked big time. He said they seemed drunk/high (for real, not a matter of how they usually look) and couldn't do anything right, a disaster.

Thats sort of alone the line of what I am thinking. I mean I didn't really know much about Boris before I saw them and they were great. I don't normally like psychedelic/experimental music, but I think it would be good live. I think i'll make my mind up closer to th time XD

That's Acid Mothers Temple & the Cosmic Inferno. The band that's touring Britain is Acid Mother's Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
Same people, different band. Don't exactly know what the difference is.
-
I don't know the difference either, but yeh its Melting Paraiso UFO this time, it was Cosmic Inferno last time in June or something.
-
AMT is a collective... kinda like h!p lol
Melting Paraiso UFO is the main band, they play the psychedelic, free-form shit
Cosmic Inferno has a few different members and they play more hard rock psychedelic stuff, more effects, etc
AMT Afrirampo is the main AMT dudes with the two members of Afrirampo and they kinda experimental jazz shit
Pink Ladies Blues is the only AMT group that doesnt contain Kawabata and its mostly ex-members of early AMT formations, they play psychedelic blues
and there's a bunch of others groups: Gong, Guru Guru, SWR, Mothers of Invasion, Incredible Strange Band...
AMT is crazy
-
I believe pikachu from afrirampo (the drummer) is a part of the cosmic inferno band now.
SWR is the only one I've really listened to very much of. That's mostly cause I'm a total fanboy for tatsuya yoshida
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWMzqo8ewuU
-
:lol: the vid was awesome.
AMT was never really about the "music" it was all about experimenting with the sounds to produce some kind of spiritual connection to it. That's what psychedelic music is all about, really. You don't listen to it, you feel that shit. Helps to have a bag of reefer or shrooms on hand though :P
I wrote a long ass iinihon wiki article on them a couple years ago and did a bit of research. AMT is pretty much Makoto Kawabata and whole bunch of hippies collaborating with him to make "music" :lol:
-
On a non-AMT note, I was checking my last.fm recommendation and I still have 酸素十倍 (sanso jubai) really high up and I have not been able to find anything on them apart from the fact they are on the Zankyo artist page...
-
I have their only(?) release, though I've got the CD at home as well as the rip on my original computer, so unfortunately I won't be able to upload it at the moment.
It's too bad they disbanded without releasing much.

I wasn't sure if the disbanding was official, I just saw "酸素十倍 (RIP)" on some webpage. I just thought it was strange they are still on the Zankyo artist page if they did disband. Maybe they have some CDs to shift? Thanks for uploading, I will give them a listen after Heroes :w00t:

No problem :)
@Ayabie
Do you remember if you got -by any chance- the 4 track version of ザッツオール?
I don't know why but 2 versions came out, one with 3 songs (the one I uploaded) and one with 4 songs, in which the additional one is "Dynamic D".

Korei, thanks for filling my requests! Fhenomina is really nice. It's just like Fnordje with vocals (which it more or less really is), works really well.
Thanks for everything else posted as well, got tons of music to go through now... I remember unsuccessfully looking for Sanso Jubai as I went through Zankyo website artists. So about time I get a listen!

Anyway, we're sort of keeping in theme here, as the music is extremely scarce and minimal, consisting of a single guitar strumming chords and vague melodies.

Some of the tracks have vocals, and others just instrumental. Overall, a good album to relax too.

BlindPlace are very good :D One of my favourites for this year.

Finally found downy's "山茶花" (sazanka), a song coupled to a live DVD, titled "無題" (mudai, untitled) as usual.

Anyone has something by Presence of Soul?

Their latest album came out this year.

I wish I were in Japan right now.. I just ordered NATSUMEN's single from towerrecords.co.jp, ONExMORExSUMMERxSHIT!!! I am dying from anticipation! One more day! Q_Q
Also, is there anyone from Japan here that is actually going to their concert at Shibuya club QUATTRO? The show seems to have been just sold out D:!
http://natsumen.net/
-
I'm in Japan at the moment, but I can't make it due to it being a Tuesday. Shit sucks. :/
Good to see they completely sold out, though.
Edit: Oh yeah, these are the confirmed members to appear:
AxSxE Guitar
山本達久 Drums
加藤雄一郎 Sax
柿沢健司 Cornet
-
Nice to see three returning members, but where's Ain? I kind of assumed she would be there since AxSxE and Ain were in BOaT together and went on to form NATSUMEN. Haven't heard of the drummer.. Sounds great though, thanks for the info. :]

Boring, absolute letdown.
I thought it was pretty good. Sounds like mostly improv jam sessions though, and if you don't like free jazz you might not like this. Not their best release, just doesn't have that trippiness of some of their past works. But it still makes me jealous of all the people who are gonna be able to see them live.
And 070917 almost destroyed my ears :lol: I don't advise people to listen to that with loud volume. Or fix your levels to low treble or something.
-
And 070917 almost destroyed my ears :lol:
That track was nice. The high pitched stuff is actually pretty tame by most ambient/onkyo standards.
I've only listened to it once but it seems as good as anything else they've ever done. Which of course means it's really, really good.
-
It was okay at first and then got really intense in the later parts and I had to lower the volume as I could feel my ears starting to ring and my head felt as if it were going to explode. But I guess I have to keep in mind I was listening to it with the high treble macbook speakers on full blast.
-
Supposedly, high pitched noises actually help massage the hairs in your ear and can improve your hearing.
That may be bullshit though.
-
I was just checking out HearJapan over the weekend and looked at their new releases, this one caught my eyes (and ears). http://www.myspace.com/cromagarage A bit on the pop side, but pretty nice from the samples I heard. Seems like they only have a few singles out so far. Maybe I'll wait for a full album before I consider buying. :yep:
-
not their best, but still very good. Live in the Waterfall was quite awesome
-
My expectation were way too high so I'm actually pretty disappointed. :lol: I wasn't expecting three fucking interludes when I saw the tracklist.
And for 1000 yen I at least expected them to have a credit page...
-
Decent, I guess. Tt still had the nice improv and freeform stuff, but I didn't think it was great or anything. Not disappointing either, though. Just kinda in the middle. I wasn't expecting those interludes either. That was kind of a downer.
-
I am slightly dissappointed in the interludes like Ayabie said. Still, No Reason up to the Death is an awesome track, it reminds me a bit of Septemujima. I'd have to agree with iacus though, it's just as good as anything they've ever done. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it~ :D
-
And 070917 almost destroyed my ears :lol: I don't advise people to listen to that with loud volume. Or fix your levels to low treble or something.
Try Sachiko M, you're gonna like it :lol:
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=2rpHGibCQzw
(this one is actually pretty soft, sine waves in her solo work are more powerful)
-
Sachiko M
You wouldn't happen to have anything by her would you? I really like filament and I.S.O. but I've never listened to any of her solo albums. (or any of her duet albums either.)
-
I should have her entire disco. I'll upload it later today or tomorrow though because it's not on my PC right now ;)

(this one is actually pretty soft, sine waves in her solo work are more powerful)
That actually wasn't as intense as the natsumen track. :lol: 070917 has this very ambient buzz that makes my eardrums rumble a little past halfway through the track when they add all the sounds. The frequency of that Sachiko M track might be higher but the intensity of natsumen track was higher with a lot more ambient noise. But Youtube might be the reason. I did try 070917 out again and they cut it right before I was gonna go nuts.

OK, here you go:

This should be her entire solo discography, I miss only the first tape she released in 1997 (Music for Headphone) that I've been trying to get for ages. If you see it around let me know.
-
That just sounds like the ringing in my ears after a gig! You know we were talking about AMT being a "bit" wasted at gigs, well the singer for 54-71 must have been getting live tips from them - he was so smashed :lol: They were very good though, they played the whole of the new album without stopping in-between tracks, then they finished off with a couple of tracks I didn't know. LITE were also good, but I kind of expected that. I really need to get a decent camera, the camera on my phone just isn't up to scratch.

Taken directly from their website
-Naikaku was formed in August 1998 led by Satoshi Kobayashi. After the first gig at Yokohama Club 24, the band started organizing their own events such as "Instrumental Festival", "Instrumental Freak" etc. holding 1-3 gigs a month and grew its own community.
The Band who continues to evolve music into something new. By adding the more artistic visual images on the sounds of Progressive Rock where lyrical "stillness"and technical "movement" are well harmonized while it changes the scene dramatically and unrestrictedly, Their sound will capture your attention and let you sink your mind into a musical sojourn where the artistic mind can be absorbed by the listeners senses. Their theme is to create the musical/visual space which leads us to artistic "Cubism's world" expressed by painting art. They create the sounds inspired from the painting arts and create the visual arts from the sounds simultaneously. Thus, they take a trip to a place and back between visual images and the auditory senses, where they enjoy quite fresh expressions. Their chaotic sounds should not be classified in any conventional categories or genre. Have a Nice Trip to your Internal Nuclear Space!

Some of you probably already have this, but for those who don't (searched the forums and nothing came up), prepare yourself for a treat. This is one of my favorite discoveries in 2007, even though the album was released way earlier than that.
heprcam are an ambient-experimental electronic trio who formed in Japan in 2002. Their sound places the warm vocals of Mihoyo Tsubokura (cinq) against a backdrop of experimental, “inorganic” sound created by programmer/percussionist Junichi Haruki (TELA) and double bassist Tatsuya Koda (TELA).

Aquarifa Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/1000418247)|Official Site (http://aquarifa.com/)
Post-rock influenced female fronted indie band I found through mixi. Still a bit rough around the edges, but thought they were worth a listen. They have a couple shows in the Tokyo area next month, with some pretty nice similar sounding bands.
Has only released a couple demos which I can't find anywhere other than on a couple japanese online shops.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVTjxYhHI7o
-
I actaully have aquarifa's latest demo CD-R:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/2977410806_59907e40cb.jpg)
My friend asked me to pick the demo up for him on my last trip to the motherland. They're actually advertising themselves as having a MotFD/9mm sound (that's what was written on the sticker attached to the CD).
I also found the Asian shoegaze Half Dreaming omnibus. It's pretty trippy listening to shoegaze bands from Malaysia, mainland China and the Phillipines. They have the whole MBV/Ride sound down to a tee while the Japanese bands add their own twist to things. Definitely worth a few listens even though the swirly distortion ad nauseum is almost enough to drive a fist through one's speakers.
Fukuro's latest, "tousousen" is also type nice. The CD sounds a lot better than what their Myspace would suggest.
And anyone else notice the pooload of great bands coming out of Ireland lately, primarily on the Richter Collective label?
Adebisi Shank is a disgustingly good math/inst band that recently toured Japan with Lite and 54-71. Their ep (which i have) was released on Japanese label Parabolica records and they have a CD out on the aforementioned Richter Collective.
http://www.myspace.com/adebisishank
http://www.myspace.com/parabolicarecords
cats and cats and cats is another great indie band from Ireland. Not exactly post-rock but they're instrumental heavy blending Cap'n Jazz esque hardcore with strings accompaniment and the occasional accordian and trumbone.
http://www.myspace.com/catsandcatsandcats (happiness for lola is the shiznit)
And they're from Denmark, not Ireland, but Marvin's Revolt is another band with a fanbase in Japan who are releasing their work on Richter Collective.
http://www.myspace.com/marvinsrevolt
There's a cool indie/post-rock scene brewing in Ireland that has an interesting kinship with the scene in Japan.
Okay, segueing back to Japan, does anyone have any demo material from the 'band' 夜長オーケストラ (aka the Long Night Orchestra) http://www.myspace.com/thlongnightorchestra
I was researching potential shows to catch in Japan and came across an artist named Kaede
http://www.myspace.com/kaedekaede
I watched the youtube clips and thought to myself that 'bigboneded' guitarist looks a LOT like the dude from ゆやゆよん.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1iHv_gZmqg
It turns out it IS Naka G from yuyayuon. The guy's actually quite prolific and is the conductor and mastermind behind the collective known as the Long Night Orchestra. They play a lot of shows at Shinjuku Marz but I've never had the chance to see them yet.
I've been quiet on this board lately b/c I was slightly miffed at having my files/links spread elsewhere, primarily slsk/jmr.
Taking files from stuff i post here is one thing but to raid my mediafire database and to steal from the media section of a separate forum I help moderate is a whole 'nother level of clandestine bullsh_t. Oh well, what's done is done and I'll be more cautious from now on.
Anyhow, thanks to all the people who have been posting dopeness in this thread the last couple weeks. And more importantly, the increase in discussion about bands is an interesting and welcome change. (not to sound like i'm a vet on this board since i'm an effing newb who's only been around a couple months. :lol: )
-
Fuck yeah, I didn't know Naka G did something outside of Yuyayuyon. Thanks for the heads up, the samples on MySpace sound awesome. I see he's completely sporting the bald head nowadays. :lol: And yes, stealing is bad.
By the way, for the people with Asshole access, I updated my post.
-
You sir, are the man for that. :lol:

Cats and Cats and Cats are from the UK, they are from the same area of England as me! If you want me to share some good English post-rock, it would be my pleasure :)

Detwiije are a post-rock band from London, England.
Their first record was the self produced 4 track EP ‘Six is Better than Eight’. The first full length album was ‘Would you Rather be Followed by 40 Ducks for The Rest Of Your Life?’ and was released in April 2005 by Gizeh Records.
The band officially split in 2007 after a farewell gig in October at London’s Hoxton Bar & Kitchen however, rumour has it that there is a chance of one-off gigs in the future when Shea crosses the pond to visit London.
Detwiije are:
* Ben Levy (Guitar)
* Al Harle (Guitar)
* Ellie Wilson (Violin)
* David Jones (Bass Guitar)
* Shea Hagan (Drums)
Detwiije - Would you Rather be Followed by 40 Ducks for The Rest Of Your Life?
(http://www.decoymusic.com/images/trackingthetrends/top50/detwiije.jpg)
1. Would you Rather be Followed by 40 Ducks for The Rest Of Your Life?
2. Misspelt Dutch Architect
3. Pop
4. La Guerre Des Mondes [French for "The War of the Worlds]
They don't have many songs, 4 on this album and 4 on the EP, but i'd choose quality over quantity any day of the week XD I guess they are similar to Sgt. mixing post-rock guitar sounds with a violin. They definitely come under obscure, although obviously not j-music.... well I hope you enjoy anyways! I'll try and share a few more if I can.

Here are my additions to this thread:

Bluebeard were a short-lived band encompassing the style of early American emo. This stuff is really good! Unfortunately this was their only album and they broke up soon after it's release. However some of the members went to form As Meias, a band who further pushed the envelopes of their emocore sound mixed with a heavier post-rock sound.

Well if you read what I said above, As Meias are basically the more abrasive and post-rock heavy version of Bluebeard. If you dig stuff like Lite, Toe, or te you'll definitely be into this. It basically takes the great Japanese instrumental bands out there and adds vocals on top of that.

One of my favorite albums of all time. It's hard to put this album into words except that it is the perfect Summer album. Also very post-rock heavy but with plenty of pop sensibilities. The vocals are very melancholy and soothing, sometimes even reminiscent of a singer such as Damo Suzuki. This was BOaT's last album before some of the members went off to form the jazz-fusion (or whatever genre) band Natsumen.

Anyone listened to Unkie's new album? So much better than the first one!
-
It's alright, I actually like the Price of Fame better.
-
Hello guyz. Just joined. Thanks to whoever that was for the Henrytennis, couldn't find it anywhere. Speaking of the new Unkie album, could anybody post it pls? Also I've been looking for Paper Hats by downy for AGES. If anybody has that i would be eternally grateful. In return I offer this.
AFRICAEMO
The band categorize their music as postrock/hiphop/electro/hardcore/discopunk/worldmusic.

zomg, new Kashiwa Daisuke on the way!
(http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1349/jkcxca1246gc5.jpg)
kashiwa daisuke - 5 Dec.
Release Date: 2009-02-20
1. Red Moon
2. Requiem
3. Bogus Music
4. Taurus Prelude
5. Black Lie, White Lie
6. Silver Moon
7. Broken Device
8. About Moonlight
9. Aqua Regia
10. Beautiful Sunday
“program music I”, released approximately a year and a half ago introduced audiences to a musical interpretation of two Japanese literary classics, “Night on the Milky Way Railroad” and “Run Melos!” and revealed the rich musical talent of kashiwa daisuke. As we enter the final one digit year of the new millennium, we are proud to release “5 Dec.”, an album that drops hints of what’s to come in the next 10 years.
kashiwa’s first album released from German label, onpa, in 2006 won rave reviews from many artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto. In his second album, “program music I” released the following year, kashiwa daisuke defined his presence once again in the world of music. The artist’s lyrical melody and dynamic and inventive musical arrangements have led his work to new frontiers in TV commercials and fashion shows. kashiwa casts also off a powerful presence on the online world through his musical + visual collaboration with Koji Nishida of RAKU-GAKU, the artist behind kashiwa’s album jackets.
In his third album, “5 Dec.”, kashiwa daisuke makes yet another step into a new horizon. In this album, the artist’s signature melody with its flowing, oriental taste hides behind the shadows to be replaced by tearing voice samples and noisy and metallic guitar sounds thrashing almost violently on top of colorful uplifting beats such as break core, down tempo, bleep techno, and drum n’ bass. In contrast to the aggressive sounds of the first half, the second part of the album starting with the 6th track, “Silver Moon” guides audiences to a minimal world created through electronic sounds and the piano. As a whole, the album portrays a brilliant contrast of sound.
The melody of this album does not impose sentimentalism or nostalgia onto its listeners but rather, it takes them on a journey into rhythm from beginning to end. Even amidst the violent and excessive elements, there is always a composed eye seeing into the passion that lies beneath, there is a self-disciplined, strict interpretation of the world, a sublime and metallic texture… this is what the artist kashiwa daisuke may be all about. Turn your ears and experience the fruit of kashiwa daisuke’s new challenge and step with him into a whole new level of musical originality.
There's a sample track on the site. Intense shit, lol.
Fuck yeah, can't wait.

fuuuuuuuuuck DO WANT

Odd title.

Three Tokyo-based electronica-flavoured solo artists:
a-fei
website (http://a-fei.org/) / myspace (http://www.myspace.com/afei07)
(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8611/afei2xa2.jpg)
A-fei, aka Atsushi Kobayashi, was formerly a guitarist of Walrus until the band stopped activities in 2005. His first album as a-fei differs from the band's sound and is a mix of electronica and post-rock, combining sampling, piano melodies, distortion-laden guitar and glitchy beats.
ametsub
website (http://www.drizzlecat.org/) / myspace (http://www.myspace.com/ametsub3110)
(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/9902/l6da8cfc70bc4e77d73d206mt4.jpg)
Ametsub's music is glitch-heavy electronica with hypnotic beats and IDM influences. Sometimes hectic, sometimes distorted piano melodies push the songs forward. Awesome stuff.
aus
website (http://ausmusik.com/) / myspace (http://www.myspace.com/ausmusik)
(http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/7237/aus392895195lsn4.jpg)
Aus, aka Yasuhiko Fukuzono, has been releasing music since 2004. He has released eight albums already and has composed for numerous movies and short films. His music is usually mellow electronica with samples and acoustic instruments. On his 8th album After All there is a slight change in style with the addition of vocals on most of the tracks. The collaboration-heavy release features the work of several guest artists, including Cokiyu in the vocals, Geskia (while I can't exactly find where he contributed) and also three remixes by Motoro Faam, Ametsub and The World On Higher Downs.

Hey!
I haven't contributed anything lately and there's been a lot posted since then. I figured I oughta post some music for you guys. :]
Middle 9
Jazz/ Instrumental/Rock
Osaka, Japan (2003 – present)
Middle 9 is a band formed by the current four members in Osaka, Japan in 2003. Their first album that contains 9 tracks “SEA THAT HAS BECOME KNOWN” will be released on September 26, 2008. It has been about 2 and half years since the last mini album that contains 5 tracks, “Swing and Circle on the Fluyt” (April 26 2006 / CATUNE). Their style might seem to be moderate at first since the members play Vibraphone and ES-335. However, the stages actually have a reputation for a powerful groove and totally active performances that lift audiences at one burst. This instrumental band has not only the dynamism of live music but also high creativity for the sensitive sound as you can see in their works. Adding a trumpeter as a support member, their new album contains some party tunes which interweave funk and jazz. These tracks are built by their great sound sense and give a stylish mode to the first full album.The CD will be out on their private label “LYON”. The members themselves did artwork as well as recording and mixing on that self-direction label. The mastering engineer is SAEmastering / Roger Seibel who worked on TORTOISE, HIM, SUNRA and also the previous album of Middle 9.

Cool stuffs, Lotto, gotta check 'em out. Good to have some action in this thread again.
I think I already have that a-fei album and just haven't listened to it yet.
Yeah I can't believe I found it so late. Looking back, it's easily in my top 10 for 2008 now. The title track and especially under water flower are sublime.
Ametsub is really fucking cool too, can't wait for these all these guys to release some more stuff. Actually, Ametsub is releasing a new album on feb 4th, don't have to wait for that too long. :-)
As for Aus, that vocal-driven bonanza may give a wrong idea of the instrumental chops this guy has. So here's his previous album Antwarps. It actually consists of tracks from his first two albums reworked and remastered into a more coherent package with a couple of remixes by Geskia, The Boats and Jimmy behan thrown in. Really cool ambient/electronica/IDM stuff from then-21 Aus.

Thanks everyone, especially those, who puts their music on mediafire.
This rule, that you must have some comments to download great music directly from this site, so frustrating me...
One of our (russian) modern writers said: "a discussion of music is like dancing of architecture". Of course, someone loves to talk, someone (like me) not... Oh, those rules...
Anyway, a-fei sounds great. Middle 9 too.

So I have a big pile of noisy punk music I've been listening to for the past couple of months. I get the feeling that most people here don't share my love of that particular genre but would anyone be interested in me posting some up here?

Deracine are crazy fast, insanely catchy, and awesomely sarcastic. They only have one album out released three years ago.

Not sure how obscure they are, but I really, really love Head phones President/HPP, and ANZA... I'm so sad I miss them everytime they come to the USA! Seeing them (or at least ANZA!) live would literally make my life. I won't be able to die happy unless I see her in person at least once. XD

A composer/pianist from Tokyo. A warm kind of mix of electronica/classical, with plenty of piano and acoustic instruments mixed in with electronic samples and field recordings. Occasionally, and most prevalently on Euphoriam, he uses guest vocalists such as Gutevolk. Mellow, pleasant stuff. He did the Tokyo Sonata soundtrack which was just released, but couldn't get my hands on that yet...

Well, Japan Nite has come and gone here in Austin, and over the course of 2 days I got to see a dozen great bands from Japan, and got my hands on some CDs to share with y'all. On with the girl rock!
First off is FLiP, a great band from Okinawa.

And also we had SpecialThanks, which was one of my favorite bands of Japan Nite. The lead singer is cute as a button and all their songs are in cute engrish.

GJ Flypper. I've been digging FLiP for a while, the mini is pretty solid. Very similar to Super Egg Machine, which is one of my all-time fave girl rock bands. Hope they can keep up the speed and write some killer tunes.
-
Good stuff, Flyp. :thumbsup
Getting the third one now, since SS stopped being a fuckwad.
-
Yeah, I've been really liking FLiP from what I've heard from them.
SpecialThanks's vocalist looks freakin tiny! That SG looks huge XD Too bad I won't be able to see them since they're not performing here. :/
One day I'll get to SXSW, either in a band, or with a press badge, hopefully :P

I thought i upped "Fan" here way back when but I guess not.
Anyhow, if you want group_inou and uri gagarn's stuff.... hell if you want a ton of indie band discogs there is an interesting blog site I thought everyone and their grandma already knew about. But i guess not. iacus and I were privy to this site ages ago but kept it on the downlow for quite a while. :lol:
hxxp://community.livejournal.com/indie_yuuwaku/tag/group_inou (change the hxxp to http before you make a dumbass comment such as "aw man... your link doesn't work!"
The guy who runs the site is Russian and has posted stuff I ripped without my permission or crediting me so I don't mind sending more traffic of the leeching variety his way. :lol: (edit: that sentence sounds racist. the fact that he's russian has no influence on me being a bastard and making his download site a bit more public)
BTW, if you like group_inou, you shuld also check out イルリメ (illreme)

Maybe he wants to concentrate with just one band. Didn't he play for the latest live show for NATSUMEN? (I'm assuming he's back with them).
Still, that's terrible news. I hope 3nd are able to continue making music. :[

The "official" romanized name would be ling tosite sigure, but they're commonly referred to as Rin Toshite Shigure.
Maybe he wants to concentrate with just one band. Didn't he play for the latest live show for NATSUMEN? (I'm assuming he's back with them).
All they mention is that he left because of personal reasons, which could be anything. It just sucks to see him leave like this, being one of the founders of the group and all. And yeah, I think he's officially back with NATSUMEN.
3nd will be playing with a support bassist at their next live, so I guess they've got contacts in that area. Yamamoto will be hard to replace, though. Also, they've finished recording so we can expect something new to show up soon enough.

I already have the actual CD & DVD but thanks skeini for saving me the trouble of ripping the DVD.
However, I'm somewhat ambivalent towards seeing works of my favorite bands get posted on public sites.
If it's crap on major labels, I don't really give a damn, but smaller (not to mention great) labels like Avocado don't deserve to get fucked over.
I say ambivalent, b/c hopefully someone who had never heard of Qomo might become a fan and want to buy the actual release.
Also, the amount of CD sales that occur outside Japan pale in comparison to domestic numbers, so it's not as if Qomo/Avocado will lose much money b/c of public uploads such as this.
Even still, I feel bad for the band and label b/c essentially it's condoning the theft of their product.
Just b/c computer technology and the internet make piracy dead easy doesn't mean there's an obligation to hamper musicians from making an honest living. People around the world should have access to great music and the people involved in making the music should receive remuneration for their time and effort.
I guess I'm getting a bit melodramatic b/c I've met some of the staff at Avocado Records and they're incredibly nice people. Both Qomo and Mass Dre are hardworking bands that tour relentlessly and put blood, sweat and tears into their music. Same as Far France whose CD you also upped.
If it were Yui's album you just upped I wouldn't give a shit :lol: , but Qomo and Far France hit a little close to home.
That's just my 2 yen... which is on average what indie bands in Japan make from night to night.
edit: don't take this the wrong way skeini/ytreza, I'm really appreciative of the stuff you post at jmr. There are a lot of Uta users who don't like to share, usually for possessiveness type reasons and you're trying to buck that trend by being more willing to share your best materials.
I used to rip & upload as well but after having the opportunity to go to a lot of shows in Japan I've become more cognizant of how unfair it is to the bands that make the music. You may subscribe to a philosophy that music should be free but these bands wouldn't be able to make this music without sacrificng time and energy that could have been spent earning a living by other means.
I admit I download a lot of music but mainly as a means of discovery. When there happens to be a band I like I actually buy their releases.
So I guess this rant should be less directed towards you but to the people who download the albums.
Once in a while people should think of the welfare of bands they call themselves fans of and support them by purchasing an occasional album.

Well, was finally able to confirm that Rejuvenated Half-face split up sometime during 2008 by randomly googling and finding this page (http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/2009/04/rejuvenated-half-face.html). I see some of you bozos even posting on that site lol.
Anyway, was thinking about what the band members are doing now, since it was a sick and sadly short-lived project that produced only one awesome mini-album (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=17217.msg516503#msg516503).

Their members are やくしまるえつこ (Etsuko Yakushimaru) (vocals), 真部脩一 (Shuichi Manabe) (bass), 永井聖一 (Seiichi Nagai) (guitar), and 西浦謙助 (Kensuke Nishiura) (drums)

He's taking a different approach this time, and the tracks feature a selection of mc's:

- fake? （8th wonder）
- レイト
- haiiro de rosshi（SLYE RECORDS）
- YAMANE (Low High Who?)
- DOTAMA （術ノ穴）
- DUFF (kitakanto skillz)
- 3 Mansell Army （キリコ、DUFF、華乱）
- Sorarino
- Tha Sapience
Can't say I'm that thrilled about the decision, especially since Silent77 was such an impressive instrumental record. Not gonna judge based on little samples, though. Who knows, maybe it'll work. Hopefully finding out soon...

I discovered Jemapur a couple of years ago when I was in Japan. I went to this small ass record store and noticed that they were pimpin' some Hydeout releases. I had never heard of Jemapur but I still ended up copping Dok Springs cuz obviously dude had to be good if he was signed to Nujabes's record label. The album caught me off guard cuz I was expecting Jemapur's music to be similar to Nujabes. Dok Springs is much more experimental than Nujabes's releases and his influence can only be heard on a couple of tracks. Dok Springs has everything from minimalistic ambient to instrumental hip hop and it's definitely not an easy listening album. I would recommend Dok Springs to all instrumental music lovers :yep:

Here's something else. Lots of crazy guitar work here and just all over the place instrumentals. I feel some sort of Green Milk from the Planet Orange + PANICSMILE + nuit0 vibe from them, but I'm probably way off. Here's a description from last.fm, as I myself am not quite sure how to describe these guys. :P
Unbeltipo comes from the remains of Tipographica, an experimental jazz prog-rock band. Fronted by ex-Tipographica guitarist Tsuneo Imahori, notably known in the US for composing various anime soundtracks, the band mostly play experimental jazz-prog rock with drum’n’bass and electronic influences.

百蚊 is one of the best bands. Their second album just got released but it's only available in indie stores right now. Supposed to go to hmv, amazon, etc. on oct first.
Their first album is so frickin good and the one track I heard from the second album is awesome as well so I've got high hopes.
This version of the song isn't that good but the video is great.

Here's an exchange I had with the label head a few weeks ago about albums from his (indie, privately run) label being on my blog.
Hey thanks for not biting my head off/threatening to sue me or anything like that.
In case you're curious mediafire tracks the number of hits each link gets. The Hyacca album got 63 hits and the Mir one 82 hits. I know I've seen Hyacca up on at least two other blogs as well.
I'm kind of ambivalent about people downloading stuff. I mean, I spent thousands of dollars on releasing these CDs so obviously I'd prefer people to pay for them, but one hopes that some of those downloads translate into sales when people hear them.
82 hits for the This Tiny World is probably more than the total number of sales it's managed to rack up so far though, so it's very tempting to get frustrated and look at that figure and see those downloads as sales lost, so I understand why some people get pissed off. Obviously though, most of those hits are from people who never had any intention of buying it in the first place.
The people involved are all nice. The music is solid. Buy it.

^ If you like Ohashi Trio, you'll very likely enjoy Kakoi Miku as well. She's a recent favorite of mine and her debut mini album (released earlier this year) was produced by Ohashi Trio. She's not very well known, but I think she's great. Her music is pretty much in the same vein as Ohashi's acoustic pop; with subtle influences from jazz, funk, and soul. To top things off, her voice is also wonderful! =)

Thought I'd share a couple of more albums from the japanese Electronica artist Aus.
Lang is completely instrumental, beat-driven, upbeat IDM/electronica with gentle poppy twists.
Curveland is mellow, slowed down and relaxing, with Cokiyu providing pretty, whispery vocals.

I must say I'm kind of underwhelmed with the new 3nd album.. I didn't like the changes in the version of 'SSK' but I did like the new version of 'nemure' :lol:. Anyways, their first full album release is much more intense than I was hoping/expecting it would be, the song 'Filter In Dust' especially. 秋終わる is probably my favorite song from it. I kind of wish they drew more influence from their demos songs. :( I had a better listening experience with the new sgt mini-album to be honest, love the new stuff from sgt.!

Cinq
website (http://www.jah.ne.jp/~ytomo/) / noble label bio (http://www.noble-label.net/artist/?en&cinq)
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip00154.jpg)
Cinq is the solo project of Masaaki Takemura, born in Nagano, Japan.
He started playing the guitar when he was a junior high school student and encountered Jazz at high school. As a college student, he performed in his jazz combo at clubs in Kyoto. Later he got samplers and sequencers, when he shifted his musical focus away from playing in the band to composing and recording.
He participated in Harbest 2000 for the club king and a compilation album on the ambient label Ryoondo-tea for which he scouted for new artists and produced some albums. Also as a member of snoweffect which started under the concept "music for tea space", he released a full album and made commercial music.
Cinq released his first album Sketch as the noble's second artist on April 25, 2002. The serene texture of the sound in the album was highly praised as a "tapestry of electronic sounds".
His second album, Day Off, was released on August 25, 2004. Kazumi nikaidoh and dj klock contributed to the album.
Besides his music activity, he has a Doctor of Science degree and works as a researcher in biotechnology.
Cinq, the second artist to follow world's end girlfriend on the noble label follows their first effort “sketch” with their gentle sound-world which was highly regarded as ‘hand woven brocade of electronic sound' by various culture and club music magazines, and by the music industry. This release is 2 years and 4 months on from the last, and his signature acoustic guitar lyricism which recalls Bill Frisell and Pat Methany mixes with soft electronic sounds. Featuring collaborations with artists he respects such as Kazumi Nikaido on vocals, dj klock on turn tables and programming, Hiroshi Funato on woodbass (FUCHIGAMI TO FUNATO), Takashi Kashikura (toe) on drums, a twisted but comfortable harmony is born from the combination of electronics and instruments to make a beautiful album. The title “day off” indicates not a holiday or vacation, but a regular, un-special off day, and is cinq's effort to create a stimulating album to listen to on such a day.
Good, mellow stuff.

Aww, Naht are dead again. :(
Naht are broke up...
この度、Nahtとしての活動に正式にピリオドを打つ事にしました。
以前も触れましたが、自分のフルタイムの仕事の事やメンバーの離脱、そして最たる理由は、Nahtの冠のもとに表現したい事、歌いたい歌が自分の中で無くなっていった事。新たにメンバーを募り、Nahtの名で活動していく事にも今や余り現実味を感じなくなった、と、いう言い方が正しいのかも知れません。思い起こせば'94年にタカヒロとNahtを結成してから15年の間に色んな事がありました。バンドを取り巻く環境もどんどん変化していき、自分達の音楽を模索しながらも、活動方針や価値観の違いなど「音」以外の部分でも悩んだ時期もあったし、状況下での結論を急いて、幾度となく繰り返した３年ごとのメンバー・チェンジ、自分の能力不足や責任も大きい、こういうジレンマも全てがまた自分の足枷となり、大きな事実として、いつしか気が萎えるほど身重になってました。いま振り返れば反省する点も多かったのだけれど、とりあえず、ここいらで一度筆を置きます。いろいろ疲れました。結果的に世に残せたアルバム3枚分には時の経過に決して薄まらない量の熱意が込められていたと、今でも大いに自負しています。特に1st、"Narrow Ways"への愛着は大きく、あのアルバムのリリースはその後のバンド活動に沢山の勇気とチャンスを与えてくれました。またメジャー・フィールドで活動した２年間の出来事も自分にとって重みのある有意義な経験でした。
今はこのバンドが果たした事、音楽を通して知っていった全ての事に感謝しつつ、安らかに封印したいと思ってます。3rdアルバムリリース後、大きな活動も出来ずにここまで来ましたが、結成からここまで続けてこれた事は応援してくれた皆さんに拠る部分も大きく、心から大変感謝してます。過去に挫折しそうになった時、目にした手紙や、メールにオレは何度励まされたか分からない。今までこのストーリーを見続けてくれた皆さん、関わってくれたスタッフの皆さん、そしてバンドを離れていったメンバー、今まで本当にありがとう。いつの時期のNahtも、めくったページは皆と一緒に開き、共に閉じて行ったのだと、信じて止みません。本当にありがとう。
もう一つ。5年程前よりNahtと平行して行って来たソロ・ミッションの為に書き、演奏してきた曲（Nahtでプレイしてきた曲の中でも自分が書き上げ、自分に著作のあるものは当然含む）を、また違った形態、オーケストリックな要素やバンド編成でプレイする構想が浮かび、メンバーを募り、スタジオでリハーサルを重ねて来た「バンド・セット」でしたが、ITARUによる完成度の高いトラックにリアレンジされて変化していく曲の雰囲気や、回数を重ねるに連れ、一体感が増す3人でのバンドの雰囲気が良い意味でオレの想像と乖離して行き、当初の思惑とは別顔の様相も感じつつ先日のネストのライブ終了後よりそんな事を色々考えてたんだけど、メンバーとも話をし、正式に名前を付けて新バンド『the Guikits』として活動をスタートさせる事にしました。形に囚われず、自分が思う良い音楽をプレイし続けて行く事だけを今はこのバンドに投影しています。そしてその事が今の自分を支えてくれています。
現在決定している11月の北海道ツアー以降も、弾き語りのソロ・ミッションはライフ・ワークとして緩く続けて行こうと思います。オファーが無くなったら、その時は歌うのを辞めます。また、制作過程で頓挫していたNahtDVDですが、一度全部白紙に戻します。全ての映像素材は自分の手元にありますが、今後リリースするかどうかも含めて今は何も決めてません。
秋の良き日に。

Last.fm Description: A joint project between pianist Eiko Ishibashi (石橋英子) of PANICSMILE and Tatsuya Yoshida (吉田達也), the drummer of Ruins. Contains many of the avant-pop elements of Ishibashi’s soloworks and zeuhl elements of Yoshida’s work in Ruins.
I know there's definitely some Eiko Ishibashi fans here but what about Tatsuya Yoshida? Definitely a fun album, Eiko's piano work along with Tatsuya's drumming style match quite well imo. The 'Classic Medley' alone made me smile just recognizing a bunch of songs.
Cheers!

^i hear ya, i'm probably the only Koenjihyakkei/Ruins & Panicsmile fan around here, or at least the only one that's left.. :v:
Eiko's solo albums are very different and is a recommend too, drifting devil is a good start,
there's also another collab album with Tatsuya Yoshida, this time with the guy from Boredoms (lol, guess what crazy shit happens in that one), the collab was named as Sun Kich from what i remember

Greetings all. Here is a compilation that I pieced together myself. It basically consists of some of my favorite tracks from 2009, but all from obscure Japanese bands/artists. Genre-wise, it's a mix of post-rock, ambient, electronic, and folk/acoustic stuff. The tone of this compilation is pretty consistent, though - beautiful. ethereal, dreamy...those were the themes that I was working under, and also why I named this compilation "Sublime Sounds". I hope you all will agree. Feedback would be appreciated! =)

Hey,
I stumbled across this looking for anything on hotelnewtokyo (track 02).
If you could in anyway point me to where I can get this in America
that would be great. It's not on the american itunes store and
I havent been able to find any of their songs for download online.
Any help would be the best thing ever- i have been obssesing over
the little material I have of theirs (youtube videos).
Also, i would love to hear the compilation, but it seems to be down..
Thanks!

通算3作目の最新フル・アルバム『Happy Rebirthday To You』を revontulet recordsより6/2リリース!
アルバム･リリース･パーティ、全国ツアーも決定!!
(http://picroda.jphip.com/misc/jphip01106.jpg)
名盤と言われた前作『ルガーシーガル』から約2年半振り、ファン待望通算3作目のフル・アルバムをrevontulet recordsより6/2にリリースする事が決定した千葉県柏出身のエモ / プログレッシヴ/ ハードコア・バンドkamomekamome！
本作のサウンドは一聴すると徹底的にスピーディーにハードに押しまくる印象だが、変拍子を多用したテクニカルな要素は依然健在。ツアーをこなす事により培った、ライ映えする計算しつくされた楽曲は、唯一無二である！
そして本作は国内ニュースクール・ハードコアの先駆け的なバンドとして知られたSWITCH STYLEの絶叫ベーシスト、中瀬賢三加入後初の作品にあたる。その SWITCH STYLEと当時凌ぎを削っていたバンドが、ヴォーカル向が在籍していたヌンチャクである。当時の両バンドを知るファンに
は、たまらない作品になっている。特にタイトル曲でもある " Happy Rebirthday To You " や、昨年リリースされたSPLIT CD『放送事故現場』にも収録されたいた "この時期のヴァンパイア" で聴ける両氏の掛け合いVoのパートは凄まじく、激上がり必至！
今後のライヴ活動は、国内アンダーグラウンドの聖地 "小岩"のライヴハウス BUSH BASH において本作発売日である6/2 (水) にリリース・パーティーを開催する事が決定！発売記念ツアーは6/26の千葉LOOKを皮切りに、ツアー・ファイナルにあたる9/25渋谷CLUB QUATTRO公演まで約20箇所に及ぶツアーを行う事も決定している！更なる深化を遂げた狂気一歩手前のプログレッシヴかつアグレッシな彼らの3rdアルバムを是非ともチェックしていただきたい！
Also, cool name for a Japanese record label. Revontulet is a Finnish word meaning Northern Lights. :V

I love this album, especially "Maboroshi no Inochi" and "Nijiiro no Sensou"
I personally think that they were best before they got signed. D:
I agree with you. :P

Ditto on school food punishment.
Thanks for Sekai no Owari, I've been curious about them.. actually the guy with the clown mask, but anyways, thanks. lol.

This thread is sooooo coooool!!! :inlove: lol
There are many unknown bands filled with awesomeness out there!! and many of them are not popular but that doesn't mean they're not good :P
One of my favorite bands right now is called Nanaye, they are a Japanese duo whose music is experimental, electronic and they also plays with acoustic things. The band members are Cao as vocalist and Kouji as composer. So far they have released two mini-albums, fairy tale and Smelling Salt and both are awesome :yep:

Sorry if this is a repeat, but my last attempt to post seems to have failed...
Anyway...I have to admit to being a bit of a jerk and not thoroughly reading all 41 pages of this thread, but anyone interested/know about older rock...70s through the 90s? I'm thinking Zuno Keisatsu, Stalin, Anarchy...
I'm in Tokyo writing a book on Japanese rock music, and stumbled on this site while searching for more into on FLiP. While I'm here, anybody pick up on KiLLKiLLS or Young Parisian?
-
newest SFP is highly dissapointing. Was a fairly big fan back in the days, but their latest singles were not that good, and this album also isn't doing it for me. It has a few nice songs, but overall, no, I'd prefer the older minis...

thx for school food punishment :P

Latest release by this electrorock group. Discovered them about a year ago when I got their debut-release TBA. I really loved that release, and though I also like this release, this has a more 80's synthrock sound to it than their previous release. Not that it's really bad or so, but I prefered their previous style :)
wasn't really intending of sharing it at all, but a close friend of mine asked for a rip, so thought why not share here too :)

Basically, its a bunch of random Shinsei Kamatte-chan (神聖かまってちゃん) songs, around 20 tracks of what you may call them as 'demos' or 'indies' 'old recordings, i dunno, these are stuff they did before their 'debut' and some songs they do on lives/posted on the youtubes (vivaru). Some songs are in their album, some aren't, but they are different recordings so they sound 'different'. the new single/pv is also there. Lots of awful sounding shit.

A personal compilation I made of my personal top 20 of the first half of this year. Compiled only by releases I personally own (either as a digital or physical copy). Aionline.eu is my personal blog on which I frequently post reviews and news, though it's been slow lately since I've been too busy with my work. Hopefully I can make more time free in the next few weeks.
Anyway, as said before, this compilation consists of 20 tracks I choose from all my indie purchases of this year (had to scrap quite a lot to make this list not too big). I did not include tracks that I already shared on (other) public fora, or major releases I bought, even if they were rare (for example, the latest URANINO release)...
I hope you enjoy this, and maybe I'll be spreading some of those albums in the following weeks :). By the end of the year I'll try to compile a second album, with the top 20 tracks of the 2nd half of 2010.
Styles vary from pop to electronic and from folk to progressive. There's no visual kei on this compilation though :)

Flica
myspace (http://www.myspace.com/flicasound)
(http://picroda.jphip.net/misc/jphip01770.jpg)
Reviving romanticism in the material world is a task often endured by musicians and artists. Doing so without the use of words or lyrics makes it all the more daunting for experimental soundscapist, Flica.
Flica aka Eu Seng Seto is an unassuming KL-based electro-acoustic outfit. At first glance, this shy and introverted character doesn’t strike as the passionate-type. But a closer look reveals his depths of emotion, much like his music. The 26 year old artist began his musical odyssey in 2005 with his first electronica project as duo Muxu, with former Citizens of Ice-Cream guitarist, Huat Liang. Soon, Flica realised the need to explore his own style and in early 2007, he began solely crafting his music in the solitude of his bedroom.
Armed with an arsenal of sound programmes, acoustic and electric guitars as well as pianos, Flica conquers ambient fields with concise arrangements. His live performances are spontaneous affairs, combining loop effects with organic on-the-fly programming and his admirable work-ethic has resulted in debut album, Windvane And Window. Released earlier this year, it saw him collaborate with famed Tokyo indie label mastermind Akira Kosemura and electro-acoustic musician Haruka Nakamura. His latest album, Nocturnal is another electro-ambient masterpiece.
But if Flica is a composer and musician by night, he’s talented graphic designer by day. He designs his own sleeves, album covers for Mu-nest Records releases. Escapism may be nothing more than dreaming, but Flica’s creative musings will surely help to easy the burden of a jaded Sandman.

Best post-rock band from Japan? maybe. They're not so active though, but do have some new songs on their myspace/audioleaf at times, but I am still waiting for a new release by them. This release is imo one of the best releases of 2009. Really loved every song on it.

Thanks a lot Aion :) I've been looking for a Talking Fish rip all over ever since you posted a song on Tainted World. I've also been meaning to say thanks for the Best of 2010.1 mix too. Some pretty good ones on there especially kara :thumbup

I guess my rip is the only on the web =) (better said, I guess I'm about the only one outside Japan who actually has bought it xD)
niw, another album from me, this time imo the best one of 2009, or at least that grew on me the more I listened to it.

黒猫チェルシー (kuro neko chelsea)
Good straightforward rock and roll by a buncha interesting young fellows. Sounds like a bit of TheeMichelleGunElephant / EleKashi / Bawdies (lol), add interesting vocals, and trashy fuzz tones, with some 70's rock and folk thrown in. They've been around not long. The frontman seems charismatic enough, he even got to be a lead actor in a movie last year. (Shikisoku Generation (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267327/))

Here is the most obscure singer that I know of, actually I know nothing of her except for this song. :panic: Have a DVD of a 2002 Viewsic show, this was on it, single was from 2001, she's not to be confused with Ai Cherie, anyone else know anything about her? :bow:

Thanks for the info, :thumbsup what a long time between albums! Her brief bio also said she's a model, probably for BAPE.
Here's another obscure group and song, also got this on a Viewsic show, know they had another single after this but like this don't think it was a big hit. No classic but it sure is catchy, this is King singing We are the King. :oops:

Since the 2nd half of 2010 is behind us, here is my second compilation with Japanese indie songs released between July 1 and December 31. Of course it's only a small portion of it all, and (even) I haven't listened to all indie releases, I think this is a fair compilation with some real unknown bands on it. All of the songs on it are from albums I ripped, either from CD or via iTunes. Enjoy :)
01. 東京スーパースターズ - みなと
Tokyo SuperStars is a rockband that so far only has released a split-tape with HELLO HAWK. This song is one of the two Tokyo SuperStars songs on it, and I really love it.
02. newnew - WClick
newnew is one of the bands I already featured on Aionline (http://aionline.eu/2010/07/28/newnew/). As described newnew is primarily a noise-band but mixes a lot of other genres in their music, giving it a nice feeling over all.
03. MY EX - myes
Another band with almost nothing to find about online. As far as I could find they only released one demotape with three songs on it, simply called 3 songs.
04. →SCHOOL← - パッパラ～配信限定release mix～
An act I already knew for some time, but with this digital only release →SCHOOL← got back under my radar. Also has the one-man band grew with one member and has some well-known support members, such as A×S×E from NATSUMEN and アヒトイナザワ (ex NUMBER GIRL/ex ZAZEN BOYS).
05. Jimanica - Pitz at chu goat
After my first electronica song a second one from Jimanica's latest release. Relaxing beats to show the diversity of the Japanese indie-scene. Besides this solo-project, Jimanica is also a member of d.v.d.
06. I'm peaceful - 化学室で恋
Led by a 17-year old singer this pop-punk band seems to be some sort of family band, seeing the member descriptions. There's also not much info about this band besides a myspace and small OHP.
07. THE ××ズ - 私のパンク
2010 seems the year of the garage punk revival, with The XX's as one of the latest additions. Short powerfull songs accompanied with high pitch vocals.
08. 385 - 鼓膜クレイジー
With the disbandment of Midori there's a gap to fill, and I think 385 has the highest probability of filling this. Led by Bleach/Bleach03 bassist Miya they have a cool jazzy sound in their music.
09. 8-eit - ギラギラ血走る瞳の前に・・・
And so we continue with more jazz. 8-eit is already a well-known name in the industry, but they seem to be on a roll this year, releasing 2 singles and an album early december (waiting for my copy to arrive) I just had to add these awesome guys in this sampler. This is the title-song from their latest single.
10. モダンガァール&スナイパー - シュガーブレイン
Let's continue with the jazz, but leave the rock aside and add electronica. Modern Girl & Sniper is a two-piece band that is primarily known for their song レインボー巡礼 being used for a television show. Originally their album would be released in March but it got post-poned and thus it's added in this edition of my sampler.
11. テツコ - スイートなうた
Some might know I have a thing for all-girl bands, FLiP being my most favorite, but tetsuko is a star on the rise. Currently the have released one demo and two EP's, the last one being released 2 weeks ago. This song is from their first EP, released in August.
12. APRICOT - Magic Student Trip
APRICOT already has been around for some time with their second album released early 2010. Student Magic Trip was released in August and again shows how you have to mix electronic tunes with punk.
13. アナロギアン - おやすみハニー
Some more punk with ANALOGIAN. Pretty straightforward, but nevertheless catchy.
14. おいしいはなし - I don't wanna want you
Two people, dual vocals, simple tune, catchy overall. Oishii Hanashi has it all, and despite sounding as an old release, it's just a few months old.
15. 王舟 - Thailand
My biggest discovery this year. oh shu has released two CD-r's to date with a third one coming up. Thailand was released in August this year and features some reworks from their first release. The band is being supported by mmm and oono yuuki.
16. 洞 - テント
Fans of OGRE YOU ASSHOLE should like this song from Shibata. This two-piece band somehow knows exactly how to pick the good stuff (opinion) of OYA and even mimicks the sound of the vocals.
17. へきれき - ステーション
For quite some time now I'm enjoying Hekireki's work and thus I was glad when they finally released something new this year. Their style varies from time to time, being ambient electronic, then poppy, but everytime, they seem how to work their instruments creating a addicting sound.
18. ホライズン山下宅配便 - ipnush
Taken from already the third album by HORAIZON YAMASHITA TAKUHAIBAN. They have a alternative psychedelic sound throughout all of their albums.
19. laufen - スキニナル
Formerly known as raufen, this all-female band is back with a namechange and a slight change in sound. In stead of the more rock sound on their previous two releases, they have a more poppy aproach on Carnelian.
20. オシリペンペンズ - 女の裸
The first release from their independent label features this song, and since it's quite unique on it's own, I just placed Oshiri Penpenz on the last place. Especially if you seen live-footage of this band, you know this band is stranger than strange, but nevertheless the music stays cool.
All personal rips, may vary between 192 and 320MP3

Patchwork Sounds [Indie] - 2011.01.16 - Various Artists - The album was created by a group of Japanese Music bloggers, insiders, listeners and webmasters asked to do one thing - submit a song from an artist that few people have heard of, that they thought people should hear, and the artist must be producing music now. I hope you enjoy the compilation and find something new. Please spread it ALL over the internet!
Enjoy!

Patchwork Sounds is awesome !! thanks

what's your favorite track? just curious :P

Ever since Sublime Sounds 2009, I've been wanting another album like it. I like Patchwork Sounds 2010, but... I dunno, kinda not impressed as I was with Sublime... But anywho. My favorites were Andrew, Puzzlika Familia and coma boyfriend. P:
-
Never heard Sublime Sound 2009, but the problem with Patchwork Sound is just that every song was submitted by a different person. It is just a compilation of songs released the last two years that that person loved. So it kinda goes everywhere. Luckily someone put in a lot of time to make a good flowing tracklist.
I guess Sublime Sound was done by a smaller group?

If people are looking for mixes, I have two broadcasts/podcasts a week of Japanese rock. One is experimental stuff, the other is more straightforward rock, and both of them come from Japanese rock's whole history (i.e. stuff from the 60s through now.)

killing Boy - Call 4 U (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC71R2kAxvk#ws)
-
ah, my uploads :)
a small review I made somewhere else:
Well, my first listens
Frozen Music
I love the bassline in it, but then again, I think the whole band is going to lean back on the bass. Especially this bassline in combination with Riki's voice makes it pretty awesome. Though I must say I miss something in it. Thankfully it's the first track on the album, as it fit's there, but it's not what I was expecting to be honest...
7/10
Call 4 U
As you said it, this is a typical ART-SCHOOL-song, and it fits perfectly in all ways. I love Riki's voice on the simple bassline. Was kinda surprised at first with the little bit of electronica in it. It may be forgettable, but I love this kind of songs by ART-SCHOOL, and thus I also love this song.
8/10
Only thing I'm not too fond of, is already that these are songs 1 and 2. Whereas Frozen Music fits the first place, and works to a momentum till it's finish, it's followed by Call 4 U, a ballad... It doesn't really fit there, and I guess it would be better as this would be the 6th or 7th song on it.. But then again, we haven't heard the other 7 songs yet xD
-
^i'm doing the same thing..
i dunno why these guys (yeah, you know who im talking about) keep making a lot of these side-bands/projects.. when they all seem to be relatively samey sounding stuff. :smhid

Dang, I haven't posted in this thread in awhile.
Sooooo I'm not too sure if this is right or not, buuuuuuuuuut I think HITOHI (that one band I posted about a longgg while back) is about to release its first mini album under a new name? There's gonna be a release party on 2011.4.22, wish I could go.
Here's a video preview, Ain (or Hoin now) and AxSxE from NATSUMEN are in the video too :lol:

After Japan Nite, I have to give it up for Lolita no 18, ZUKUNASISTERS, Hystoic Vein, and Mo'some Tonebender.
There were others on the Japan Nite bill, but these are the ones I saw here in Seattle.
Lolita #18: straight up punk. Awesome fun
ZukunaSisters: rock with a soulful motown blend. ( I swear the Bassist looks like Miyabi from Berryz KOBO)
Hystoic Vein: Great rock sound, the girls really bring it.
Mo'some Tonebender: great rock, had a knack for turning noise into good music(and the lightsaber rave was cool too)
-
Didn't we have a Japanese Rock Thread or am I just blind?

As the title says, this is the "Obscure" Band/Artist. This is not limited to Japanese Rock, or Japanese Pop; but to being obscure, indie, not mainstream, whatever you want to call it.

just doing my part on pimping these guys, love 'em.

Time for another one :)
Best of Aionline.eu 2011.1
A personal best of indie music from January-June 2011
01. merpeoples – メトロポリス
from: メトロポリス [2011.04.13]
Let’s start of with one of the bigger and upcoming bands of this compilation. merpeoples released their second mini-album this year, and are ready to get acknowledged all over the world. Later this year they are featured in the Next Music From Tokyo-tour in Canada. Though I liked their first mini somewhat more, this release might be more for the public as they used a more poppy approach on メトロポリス.
02. ザ・シャロウズ – フローラー
from: シャロウズの世界 [2011.04.06]
Garage rock seems to be growing hot in Japan. THE SHALLOWS started activities back in 2008 already, but it wasn’t untill early this year they released something besides some demos. They have a very typical punk-garage sound with a lot of distortion and broken vocals in it, and although it nowhere sounds unique, it’s catchy as fuck.
03. folk enough – mario
from: DISCO TAPE [2011.02.23]
It’s not folk, it’s not disco, it’s not on a tape, but yet I can’t get enough. folk enough has a pretty cool unique alternative pop-style that isn’t coherent in any way. All songs on their album DISCO TAPE is different from the next one, but overall it sounds really addicting. Mario might not be my most favorite on the album (Bach is 10 minutes of awesomeness) but it is their most approachable one.
04. Little Go – Selfish Song
from: これ (label sampler) [2011.xx.xx]
I do not actually have a CD by Little Go, but on a free sampler I got by ordering something from the Kore Records label, I discovered this addicting band. The quality of the song may be low, and the track itself may be short, it all just fits with the overall sound of this sweet little song.
5. THEラブ人間 – 砂男
from: 砂男 / 東京 [2011.05.11]
My favorite discovery of 2010 and they keep on owning in 2011. They released a new single in early May, and even announced they got signed and are going major in August this year. Untill then I will keep playing their small discography over and over again.
06. Maria Hato – Troubled Mind
from: THE LATTER HALF OF ALOHA [2011.04.20]
Sometimes you just know when a release is going to be awesome. This certainly goes for Maria Hato’s debut release. Maria Hato is a project, comparable with 王舟 (oh shu). It’s a session band featured around the talented singer/songwriter mmm. She is assisted by multiple artists of the CGCG-label (like oh shu). Troubled Mind shows of perfectly what the band is capable of, with catchy rhythms, slow paced sequences and a mesmerizing vocalist to top it off. I wouldn’t be surprised if THE LATTER HALF OF ALOHA turned out to be my personal best release of 2011 in six months.
07. Toru Matsumoto – On My Way To Hiroshima
from: and and [2011.05.01]
To be honest, I never really cared that much for Psysalia Psysalis Psyche, but for some reason this solo-release by Toru Matsumoto (PPP’s vocalist) really caught me by surprised. A little bit of electronica, a little bit of folk, a little bit of pop, but most of all, one experimental compilation of three songs.
08. 洞 – 矢野
from: まぼろし [2011.05.12]
I already featured them before on a previous sampler, but this duo released something even more eargasming this year. 洞 (SHIBATA) just adjusted their sound a little bit more to the mellow sound but keeping it really great. I only wish the best for them and that they might just be as succesfull as the band is that I compare them with all the time (OGRE YOU ASSHOLE).
09. GELLERS – Guatemala
from: Guatemala[2011.04.15]
Ah, GELLERS is back. mostly known for their member Shugo Tokumaru this band shows again what their capable of with Guatemala. Four years after their debut, and after Shugo Tokumaru has visited about every country in the world the band is back with another catchy experimental song. Especially after watching the mind-blowing videoclip of this song, it really shows their weird view on the world.
10. sundelay – itzaes
<from: stray light [2011.01.19]
What once started of as a project of five individuals soon worked out in a real full-fledged band. Sundelay is an instrumental post-rock band with some electronical influences. Just close your eyes and let the music take you to an alternative world.
11. ナオミーポコ – ものまね茶会
from: アダムとロビィ [2011.03.16]
One of my favorite releases of 2009 was by pezite, a relatively unknown jazz-pop band that is still around, but hasn’t released anything in over 2.5 years. The band is currently working on a new album (according to the guitarist of the band) but in the meantime the vocalist has released her debut-album in March. Naomi-poco, as she calls herself is a sweet pop-album that would get no attention as it nowhere really stands out, but I am just in love with her voice.
12. オトハネコモレビ – 冒険心
from: カタチないセカイ [2011.02.16]
To stay in the sweet pop-section, I discovered otohanekomorebi in this year. Judging the pictures from this band, you would expect a high-pitched vocalist and sweet, sugarfull music. This however is completely different. Kiku has a more mature voice than she looks, and the sweet bassline featured with an good use of the piano makes this a better release than you would’ve suspected.
13. レコライド – サンデーサンディ
from: サンデーサンディ EP [2011.05.25]
And now for something completely different here’s Recoride. A fairly new electro-band that released a first album last year. Just a month ago they released a digital only-single of which this is the first song. Again addictive with a sweet influence of electronic dance music.
14. KETTLES – つまんないから
from: ビー・マイ・ケトル [2011.06.15]
Though it’s originally a digital album from 2010, it got a physical release just a few weeks, and thus I got it in my possession. KETTLES is a very experimental band with every song jumping all over the place. Especially when halfway throught the album your being treated with a hiphop-track, you know this is something else.
15. THE DECEMBER – 種
from: inner/outer [2011.05.15]
No, it’s only July, but I’m already looking forward to THE DECEMBER. I came across this band on accident, but fell in love with them immediatly. It may not be the most talented or unique band out there, but they have some kind of flair, mostly thanks to the typical voice of the vocalist, which makes me think of THE JUNEJULYAUGUST’s release earlier this year.
16. 8otto – Generation888
from: Ashes to Ashes [2011.03.09]
On to some more hard guitars. Generation888 was already distributed some time earlier by this band, but was very hard to obtain. Luckily the track was featured on their latest album. They are also one of the few bands that already have a pretty large share of fans outside of Japan, but they remain quite under the radar. Time to put them in a small spotlight on this compilation.
17. the DARARS – ベストオブ匿名
from: medaca [2011.04.13]
The same goes for the DARARS. In April they already released their third album, but somehow they just won’t get noticed by the larger audience. This release however is somewhat more approachable than their previous releases, and this track even features a metal breakdown. Just showing how versatile these awesome guys are.
18. 緋と陽 – 風がつよく吹いた翡
from: 燃えて泣く鳴る [2011.04.06]
Awesome post-rock. These guys just don’t need more introduction. Just sit back, relax and let the music take you elsewhere.
19. 甲殻類 – 円
from: 明日を [2011.02.25]
Koukakurui is kind of hard to really get intoo, especially on a first listen, but the more and more you listen to it, the more and more it reaches the satisfaction-point. Relaxing pop-rock with two sax-players, resulting in a sweet summerbreeze feeling most of the time.
20. Your Last Chicken – Out Of The Woods
from: Your Last Chicken [2011.04.14]
Yes, they are Japanese, though you would not expect it to be with such fluent English. Really one of my personal discoveries of this year. Sweet, catchy folk-pop, and even this time I can sing along with it without problems and even know what I am singing.

Best of Aionline.eu 2011.1
A personal best of indie music from January-June 2011
Thanks again for the work you put into this! I listened to your last compil. and I gotta say that this one had only a few tracks I didn't care for. I think my favs have gotta be from 8otto, レコライド, Maria Hato, and ザ・シャロウズ :)
-
I always try to be so diverse as I can be with the material I obtained in that period. I could've included some more bands, but this bunch was imo the best compilation of indie stuff I bought the last 6 months...
I already got some stuff for my next comp in January 2012 though :)

Can't wait, 5 Dec. really grew on me so I wouldn't mind something similar to it. :lol:
-
5 Dec was a goddamn clusterfuck (with a few good songs), don't jinx it, man... :P
It is composed entirely from sparse piano playing that is completely devoid of the stuttering electronic saturation typically found across the vast majority of Kashiwa Daisuke's work, and it maintains a regal composure throughout.
Anyway, some of the tracks are out:
Kashiwa Daisuke - Quartz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X5X0thXPCU#)
Kashiwa Daisuke - Coto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzRW9SiSx2I#)
Coto's an older song that's been on some compilations and stuff.
-
KASHIWA Daisuke - Ohka (MUSIC VIDEO) 2011.07.29.OUT! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzUlaV8vhAA#ws)
There was an official mv I didn't notice earlier.
Yep, yep, KD taking it nice and slow... like sweet loving after the gangbang ass-rape that was 5 Dec.
-
:lol: Don't get me wrong, I love his older stuff more than 5. Dec but still it was kinda nice. These early tracks are giving me really good vibes though, it's gonna be an amazing album.

Good stuff. I hate myself for not buying their album. Saw them at the "pipes of piece" event in Yoyogi Park. One of their songs is currently being used in a CM for some show I've never heard of. Oh, and their bassist is awesome. :lol:

Hi, I just wanted to say that this is a great thread. I don't know if this is the proper place to post this but If anyone living in Canada is interested in seeing some amazing Japanese bands play live you're in luck!

Ughh, so jealous. Anyone have anything from Akai Ko-en? I'd like to hear some stuff from them but can't really find anywhere that has samples up. Their website seems to be dead right now too :(
-
^
Akai Ko-en are notorious for keeping the internet free of any of their material, so the only place is to see them live (and get their material from their merch table). Having attended the Montreal NMFT show, I can assure you that they are absolutely unreal live - tight as a group, skilled/talented as individuals and not to mention original composition and arrangements. Apparently they are signed with a major label (EMI, so it seems) and they will release their debut album early next year. They are for sure gonna rock out 2012 and destroy any female band left in Japan.

Dunno if they're QUITE small enough to count as obscure... but I really love Shonen Kamikaze. And I just got back from a show with about 40 people in the audience... so I'm counting them as obscure *lol* They formed about 6 years ago, worked their asses off for 3 years, split up for three years, and are back together now. I'm happy about this!
Their new album (Force Muzik) sounds a bit different, but there is a definite thread of continuity if you listen for it (it was a lot more obvious in their show tonight than the album mixes of the new songs).
Big Ups!

Since it's 2012 already, and I have a habit of compiling a best of list every 6 months, here's a new one I just compiled. Though it's still called Aionline.eu bets of, it doesn't really have anything to do with aionline.eu since I kinda dropped that project a few months ago... Might be picking it up since it's still mine, but whatever, I still like the name...
Niw, don't feel like doing a humongous write up of the bands, just explore the mixtape since it's just over 75 minutes... And for the ones that missed the first 3 editions, I posted them beneath the latest one :)

Yeah, part two, after 13 months of nothing (though there were plans after the tsunami last year), we put our heads together again, and came up with a booming total of 13 tracks. Yeah, we lost some submittees on this one, but the name of Patchworks stays true in this new compilation we compiled... I hope you guys will enjoy this new installment

Interesting tread.
I'll introduce an artist I like.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y70/tsunku/CHIHIRO.jpg)
Name: Candy (キャンディ), CHIHIRO, LOVERSSOUL
Years Active(as Candy): 2005-2007 (under Avex) and then 2008 as an indie.
Years Active(as CHIHIRO): 2008-present
Fun Facts:
- Second PV stared Perfume members as backup dancers as well as Komatsu Ayaka
- Two of her major singles were arranged/composed by Hiroshi Matsui who also arranged a few SweetS songs like 'Bitter sweets' and 'Never ending story'. He also is the royal mirror ball guy. Meaning he is responsible for a few of TGS's early songs.
- The other was written by Hidetoshi Yamada who also arranged SweetS' 'Dear my friends' and 'ありがとう'. He also wrote two of the Hello Project Gatas songs.
- Seems she is friends with Perfume after working together in her second PV.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVERSSOUL (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOVERSSOUL)
I love this girl's voice. Found out about her like 2-3 years ago but was unable to find most of her singles as Candy. Seems they were easily accessible back when they were released in 2005-06. (Guess I'm late to the ball game) Found the 2nd one since it was a anime. Her latest release was a collab with Orange Range "Loveliest".
If anyone happens to have randomly downloaded her old singles in 2005 I would be forever grateful if you could share them :D

Been listening to the works of Yosi Horikawa, an Osaka-born sound designer, lately. Very original instrumental/electronic/field recording stuff with amazing variety between songs. It was really hard for me to pick a few examples, so check out the man's amazing work on his bandcamp and soundcloud pages:

However, I'd like to point out that this is a compilation of sorts... consisting of remastered/remixed tracks and cover songs. It all sounds fantastic, of course.

I am currently searching for female fronted bands with an UMLAUT-like vocalist. I just love deep voices like hers. So does anybody have some recommendations?
And while I#m already here: As I was wandering around youtube, I found this just now. Seems interesting, I haven't checked more of their stuff so far, but voice wise it's not what I was out to find...

^ Welcome grai :welcome
We have a whole thread on BABYMETAL! http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=34443.0
They're pretty much the biggest Japanese act in the West I think. They tour America and Europe quite a lot, and perform with bands like Metallica and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and have sold out Tokyo Dome.
(btw, removed the DL link)

All right sorry for that...
Edit:
Well then at least these guys should be obscure enough for this thread: ラディカルズ (http://www.last.fm/de/music/ラディカルズ). Female fronted punk. Great vocals, can be loud too, but not in the screamo kinda way. Some songs:
