And Yapoos are nice, even if a bit too quirky.

I am looking for a concert in specific. On the 18th of Febuary Buck-Tick's youtube did a livestream of a past concert. They had chandeliers over the audience and a giant screen behind them (there was also a sick guitar solo and at one point he was like, cry singing. I've been looking everywhere to figure out which concert is the one they streamed because I'd like to buy the DVD. I know that they're selling a compilation from Tokyo Garden Theater but I'd like to purchase this one instead if I can help it.
Here's a clip from the same concert I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxBdwv1bf48&ab_channel=Luis

Okay so I finally tried searching and essentially in these threads you're talking about - Mariko Gotou -, right?

I think this is some of the few stuffs I found of hers on Youtube, well I guess I should give it a try if people are so passionate about her music

>>46424916
Starting with "Mariko Goto" isn't the greatest idea. Some people did, i guess, but youtube isn't the best source, a lot of stuff got nuked.
Actually, i don't even know what's the best starting point.

wow all these music is mainstream?

Midori & Marioko Gotou definitely fall into my JP music reservoire.
MITA KOTO ARU KA DOU ka or whatever...hehehe...fufufu.
Not gonna lie, I had this weird impulse to masturbate to the album cover but maybe thta's just because the signer said "seiyoku" in the first song of the album...
>I look up release date, it says - 2005
So this "MIDORI" group starring Mariko Gotou... it's kind of like...the "dark version" of the YUI trends...I suppose. At first, I wanted to say "the rock version of Daoko" but that wouldn't make sense chronologically

>>46431095

>>46431095

>YUI
Like i said, schizophrenia.

>>46431174
I was like, trying to compliment the album by comparing it to the greats of the Japanese mainstream. It was an attempt of flattery.

I have never been to Japan so like. I don't know maybe my comment comes off as cringe due to the lacxk of context but my basic thought on the album was that is was very fresh (despite apparently being released in 2005) my exposure to Japanese music in general has always been through the lens of more pop stuff like ReoL and Daoko so that's why I used that comparison - it's the only reliable point of reference for Japanese music that I have.
I already said that I thought the album cover was pretty erotic.
I liked the raw sound. I was extremely surprised to hear the Midori band actively employing the usage of piano techniques in non-anime styled melodic variations. I always thought that pop music in Japan is this very sort of "specific style" type of entertainment.

However it turns out that Midori & Mariko Gotou have attempted to make it a bit more..."keep it real" so to say.

Yeah it liked the effect where they sometimes let Mariko Gotou sing acapella it establishes

I don't actually speak Japanese, I just hear 15% of the words/phrases that I might know or not at best, and get a vague idea of what the song is about.
Like in one of the songs Mariko sings "esa". So apparently the song is meant tom be like a "tasty snack" of sorts, well that's how I choose to interpret it, I mean, doesn't the listener have the conceptual right to interpret the music in their own unique way???

I only understand Japanese songs when I purposefully decipher the lyrics, the so called "歌詞" but I only do that with Daoko's songs so that's that, I can only understand most of Japanese music somewhat semi-instinctively. Since I believe that leads to a more direct perception of the song, without being clouded by logical spirals of contradiction of the lyrics.

>>46431764
You are really weird, dude.
Anyway, watch Hatsutaiken, if you are so horny:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrHjU_eevpY

I actually never found her erotic, except for the ブッ殺すぞオマエ MV.

>>46431095
Midori is basically more intense version of JUDY AND MARY.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KPGHL3ahfg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ52yz9tXxs

>>46433816
They really aren't, but judy and mary were a big inspiration for some of Mariko's vocal tendencies. They inspired a lot of artist of that time period, actually. The 15th anniversary tribute album has a bunch of big names from different fields of japanese music: Midori, SCANDAL, Ai freakin' Otsuka, HALCALI.

>>46433929
>big names
Relative to their scene, obviously. Some people may get the wrong idea.

>>46433929
>Midori, SCANDAL, Ai freakin' Otsuka, HALCALI
Thanks guys)
Now I know the /jp/ certified true otaku masters of music. I know what I'm gonna look for next.
>>46433945
Well obviously we aren't talking about some #12345 Kenichi Yawnezu idol project but I mean like the real connoisseur musical stuff for those in the know.

Okay I should probably search for some Midori First album 歌詞s....although I kinda doubt lyrics for stuff from 2005 even exist on the Internet.
hmmm I guess I'm gonna have to resort to audio deciphering, converting it to kanji+katakana+hiragana, take out my Tae Kim grammar guide and Jisho dictionary again.
But it seems like the "Midori & Marioko Gotou" stuff is really worth it.

P.S. I listened to some Tommy February (or was it heavenly?) youtube album compilations and gosh that stuff was pretty legit too so I guess she counts as one of the underground "masters" as well. Really makes you think how much of Japan's music has yet to be discovered. I mean this isn't exactly J-POP so it has to be dug out if you're a casual anime otaku musical listener like me

>>46434233
P.S. Not to say anything bad about Kenshi Yonezu, I haven't actually listened to his music aside from a couple of song compilations on Youtube so maybe his style is actually good, I wouldn't objectively know enough about it to say it one way or another.

See, this is why I usually always refer to Daoko as a standard when talking about Japanese modern music since it's one of the few things I more or less confidently understand nd I have listened to a lot of her discography so I can use it as a reference for cognitive extrapolation.

what about 歌謡曲 and 演歌

>>46433929
> They really aren't
With the sole exception of everything, anon? Mariko talked extensively about how they "copied" almost everything from JAM. It can be clearly heard in the music itself. It's kind of like Hüsker Dü and Nirvana.

The problem with the West regarding Japanese music isn't really in the lack of scope since some guys can dig up even relatively small and niche bands but more in complete lack of contextual knowledge even with the biggest names.

>>46437672
I'm not denying the influence but their sound has way more in common with King Brothers than JUDY AND MARY.
>Mariko talked extensively
Yes, i know that she'll say pretty much anything in order to not take any credit and proclaim herself talentless.
>lack of contextual knowledge
I've listened to JUDY AND MARY years before i was aware of Midori.

Also, Mariko really dislikes when people even mention Midori, she genuinely thinks that it means that they hate her. She even refuses invitations to festivals on that basis.
And speaking of influences, it really surprised me when tricot of all bands named Midori as one of their favourites.

Some extreme oversinging:

K-pop belongs on /mu/.

>>46447116
The song is in Japanese. not in Korean, neither is it particularly EDM-styled like K-pop as a genre is....it's more in J-rock style I think, with drums and bass and stuff.

Why did you call it K-pop? I don't know much of the Japan music insider memes so I don't get the joke, honestly

>>46447192
Your autism is cute.
It was a joke based on her looks.

Do cool places to discuss Japanese music still exist? Old places like suki are still functioning, but people just upload new stuff, there's no conversations anymore. /mu/ is a joke, RYM is extremely surface-level and never moved on past 2010.

>>46448294
On /jp/ you can discuss Midori's second album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pdyr0v5jkY

A bit more professional piano experimentation compared to the first one.

Kinda like the "dark version" of the singer Tomoo but that wouldn't make sense chronologically. So maybe it was the influence of Makoto Kawamoto, see >>46415458

Generally, the 2nd album is more positive, melancholic, pretentious than the first album.

Mariko Gotou even tries doing the trademark "anime kawaii" voice on the vocals.

This time you can tell they actually tried writing some meaningful lyrics))

>>46448897
>A bit more professional piano
Yes, Hajime improved a lot over the years. If you watch their lives from 2004-5 and 2009-10 it's almost like two different people.
>So maybe it was the influence of Makoto Kawamoto
It wasn't. It was John Zorn. He was very well known at the time in Japan and Mariko is a huge fan. She still listens to all of his new albums, and he releases them like every other week.
>more positive
There is one positive song - Atashi no outa. It's actually very honest and serious despite sounding like a joke song.
Other than that - no, it's not positive, just less edgy. Anta wa dareya is basically a cry for help(which is still relevant, sadly), but album version doesn't really do it justice.
>trademark "anime kawaii" voice
That's the judy and mary influence. And Mariko did it since the first demo from 2003.

I hate western J-pop fans so much.

I hate eastern J-pop fans a bit.

I'm not a J-pop fan but i hate myself nonetheless.
Speaking of J-pop, here's an incredible song:

Maybe someone will have 50 minutes spare to listen to improvisations.

And then there's the one and only Daoko who just released a new song!

>>46496650
>New song
It's a cover of a (very popular) vocaloid song that was kind of a meme to cover.
Original: https://youtu.be/HTxwOxFt5d4
Although Daoko's cover of it is quite good.

>>46518572
I sat through the video, what was torturous about it besides the outfits?

>>46518737
Nothing. I was baiting.

After a couple of days i can definitively say that IEMs with 2d girls on the box don't enhance the sound of japanese music.

>>46494984
Listened to their recent album. Very boring, almost like easy listening with distortion. But alt teens are into that, apparently.

Any japanese stuff similar to Purple Mountains?
I really liked Nagisa ni Te - On the Love Beach and Eiichi Ohtaki stuff

Why is it so fucking hard to just look up an album and buy it? I just want to get every song from regal lily. Is it too much to ask to have a place where I can just get the whole thing in bulk? Even finding one album is proving to be obtuse enough.

What exactly you can't find?

>>46524459
So far I found a single, an ep, and an album on amazon just fine but the album "the post" i can't buy and I dont want to go through the apple store to get anything on there. And the usual places I try to get the songs for free just don't seem to be around anymore like they used to or I haven't looked hard enough. Doesn't help that the band's official website does not have a place where you can simply buy their music on.

>>46524513
You can buy it on CD through a billion different proxy buying services.
https://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/tower/4342604.html

And even rutracker has that album.

>>46524575
What about just digital? I take it this rutracker has that? I'll look into that if so.

The "さようならそうするよ"　song at 20:00 sounds like it would be a perfect fit for a fantasy JRPG like Suikoden Tierkreis or something like FMA...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi8ZNryJM20
kinda like the Scrapped Princess OP
Rikako-san really has that "vibe" to her voice.

90% of my recommendations on streaming are alt-idols. And most of them sound the same.

Minami wrote kowaki wo ameku at 21 bro i give up. Some people are just different.

>>46538011
What exactly is an altidol?

>>46538672
It's tough because typically a lot of people's first few works are their best and they fall off afterward.
Composing your best work at a young age can really fuck you up hard. You're setting yourself up for extremely unrealistic expectation from both other people and yourself.

>>46538780
The commonly used term is 地下アイドル ("underground" idol) sometimes also called Indie Idols. The difference with regular idols (what would be called "major" idols) is basically modus operandi - major idols have a loads of shit they have to do like appearing in billions of TV shows, variaté programs, commercials, promotions and all this stuff, to an extent songs and performances are just a small part of the business brand ("face") the idol is building.

地下アイドル are mostly oriented on songs, performances and direct communication with fans and stuff.

>>46538780
Alt idols are allowed to date.
And some of them can spit in your face at a show, if you're into that.
Rare examples even write their own songs. Shocking!

>>46530351

If you mean the band, they became extremely popular when one of their songs from MESSAGE was used in a nationally televised commercial.
Before that they were completely unknown outside of Okinawa.

Any good EMO rock bands?

>>46595371
Yanakoto Sotto Mute, eastern youth.
Arguably some of ART-SCHOOL albums count.
Searching for good post-hardcore will be easier.

Sangatsu no Phantasia - an extremely underrated singer

>>46595987
That is the name of the unit that singer is a part of anon

anyone got any good playlists with a bunch of stuff

>>46599316
Yes, they are called albums.

>>46595371
LOSTAGE, they began as post-hardcore and the slowly shifter more toward emo. Their album Guitar is emo masterpiece.

Bluebeard managed to release only one 30 minutes album but they still became one of the most influential emo bands on Japanese scene.

And then it depends if you separate post-hardcore and emo and if yes then how rigidly. Bloodthirstly butchers, eastern youth and Number Girl are probably the BIG three Japanese post-hardcore bands but they also get treated as emo bands depending on the person talking about them. They are all fantastic so give them a listen.

Then if you'll think that you want Number Girl but with more groove, math rock, rapping and more Buddhist outlook on life then go for ZAZEN BOYS, Mukai's (Number Girl's frontman) another band.

Bloodthirsty Butchers and Number girl aren't emo in any way.

thanks

I'm thinking Project Sekai is based because it promotes more vocaloid. it's done more to promote vocaloid than any of you. it brought dormant producers back to the medium. it promoted existing producers. it included producers who are deceased. you are on the wrong side of history if you are a hater. disliking it is one thing but actively demoting it is dogshit behavior
