SLY / Stephanie Yanez

She is not exactly Japanese but she sings in japanese too , so I guess that counts
She mainly performs as mainvocalist with her band SLY and her voice kicks ass.

Two YT performances of "Change with the wind"

thestream.tv

Tokyo ,Yoyogi Park

SLY - Shift (Japanese)

I thought she was part Japanese? People thought she was the "Stephanie" that sang Kimi ga iru kagiri before they revealed her face to the public.

Wow these sure are obscure! I know of alot of obscure Japanese bands and I haven't even heard of any of these!

Pretty cool. Nice find. Violins seem to work well with post-rock.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #45 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:14:40 PM »

violins seem to work well with just about any music

boykun · « **Reply #46 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:41:40 PM »

Hmm, I guess they do. I was trying to think of one that doesn't.

*age*

I found out about this band a while back but never really bothered looking for their stuff. They seem to have gained quite a following in japan's indie/punk scene recently. Pretty nice fun stuff. There live show looks really fun.

I found one person with their album on slsk but I'm still in queue. So I'm trying my luck here, anyone have their stuff and don't mind sharing?

well I managed to get their minialbum "hontowashigaraminonaka" yeah that's the actual title

enjoy

Ayabie · « **Reply #53 on:** August 14, 2007, 07:33:25 AM »

Hell yeah!

I was supposed to buy their most recent release, but they mysteriously disappeared from Amazon. lulz

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #54 on:** August 14, 2007, 08:02:40 AM »

I tried looking them up on amazon but didn't find anything

I had their other album on queue too but the guy seemed to have left slsk after trying to browse my files that he can't see >_>

Stryfe · « **Reply #55 on:** August 14, 2007, 08:05:01 AM »

Sunnovabitch! Add the users you're leeching from into your download permit list, dammit. xD
