Any japanese music fans here besides me? And I mean aside from game or anime music (which I also like, btw).
For the last 11 years or so I've been a big j-music afficianado and while I am familiar with most contemporary artists, I find the older j-music from 80s, 70s, and earlier to be among the best. Even the 'idol' artists of the 80s had some very eclectic sounds going on in their tracks, and there's always something unique and adventurous about j-music in general regardless of genre.
90 percent of the music I listen is from Japan.Sakuraba,Koshiro,Sakimoto,Iwadare,Namiki, I could go on and on.
Can't stand the modern J-stuff. YMO all the way!
Cosmos were also pretty good
Today I only indulge in some Japanese techno from time to time
Does video game music count?
I once got into a Japanese band by the name of Life Ball. I wish that cd had not disappeared in the move.
The only japanese musicians I really listen to these days are Galneryus, Ark Storm, Concerto Moon, and Gunbridge.
Yeah, it's all metal :)
Yep, YMO for me.
I'm an italo-Head, and in late 80's when Italo died it moved into Japan, and was named Eurobeat... Music form mostly Italians made for Japanese :P
Giancarlo Pasquini FTW
This person has a ton of old japanese music.I wish the 80's never ended for them.
