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.

Kiiiiii is intense.

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!

more bands:

retro honpo (skacore)

man, i can't believe a famous band like shakalabbits has not been mentioned in this forum before (was lookin for a thread of them). actually it's my favorite band.
started with skacore, changed to pop-punk, pop-rock and now they more into indie rock.

go! *picked this one because uki is wearing a brazilian flag stamped clothing. YAY!

nanamaara (skacore)

matatabi (skacore)

good 4nothing (pop punk) *very similar to ellegarden*

Pop'n player? I actually got hooked on them after seeing a live on Club Toryumon a couple years ago, wasn't until later that I found them in Bemani games.

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

Kiiiiiii album coming up in a little bit.

tenkei · « **Reply #85 on:** October 23, 2007, 11:53:54 PM »

rockin, thanks for the uplift spice, tsutomo!

tsutomo · « **Reply #87 on:** October 24, 2007, 12:18:01 AM »

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...

tenkei · « **Reply #88 on:** October 24, 2007, 01:58:37 AM »

tsutomo feel free to create threads for bands

hime ska was a pretty kicken album

iacus · « **Reply #89 on:** October 24, 2007, 03:55:00 AM »

They're a noise-jazz-punk band from Osaka.

That it was, lots of good stuff on it.

And there's already a thread for Midori -> http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=10255.0

boykun · « **Reply #91 on:** October 24, 2007, 04:16:42 AM »

I love Midori.

btw, a few of us here started up Ii Nihon. Not much activity nowadays, though. We got lazy

Thanks for the Uplift Spice and Kiiiiiii.

Oops, I probably should have figured there would be a thread here since some of you guys run Ii Nihon.

Also, thanks a lot for the Kiiiiiii album. Fun stuff.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #93 on:** October 25, 2007, 01:27:28 AM »

WOO Huge thread revival!!!

^actually from what I know just about everyone involved with Ii Nihon is from here

Thanks for the G-ampere albums Ayabie!!!

Sorta reminds me of JAM and PinPan in a way

Don't have anything by them, but there are some crappy live vids on youtube

tsutomo · « **Reply #94 on:** October 25, 2007, 11:25:15 PM »

hmmm yeah, looks like pinpan in their early works (panda mini-album).

ahhhh as tenkei authorized me, i'm gonna do a shakalabbits thread when i have some free time.

soveryshiny · « **Reply #95 on:** October 26, 2007, 01:17:48 AM »

For some reason that reminded me, anyone have any 電気キャンディ? http://denki-candy.girly.jp/purofile.html

Caught my attention because one of the girls was half of 京阪Girl before they broke up. Still have an unholy addiction to 京阪Girl, even though they only had a few releases, so it's definitely got me curious to hear more from this group.

doinkies · « **Reply #97 on:** November 08, 2007, 06:08:12 AM »

Is it OK to post about some obscure idols in this thread, since it seems to be mostly rock music posted here? Or should I make my own "Obscure J-Pop Idols Thread"?

Ayabie · « **Reply #98 on:** November 08, 2007, 04:34:13 PM »

That won't be necessary, go ahead and post it in this thread.

soveryshiny · « **Reply #99 on:** November 08, 2007, 04:38:41 PM »

That was my feeling too. We've mostly been talking about punk and rock groups, but if we didn't like idols we wouldn't be using this site so...
