I think their music is amazing. I dunno if you watched the movie casshern, that was what first introduced me to them. Try em out, let me know what you think. hey just thought i’d mention a rock group by the name of The Back Horn. I think their music is amazing.

Definitely check them out. They're like the Japanese Beastie Boys, and have a ton of albums out. It's really relaxed hip-hop. I love it. I think you’d like スチャダラパー, Katz. Definitely check them out.

Do you know Jero ? He's the new star of Enka and he's... American, and he's black :D Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqtgJ5TJi8M Apparently his curriculum is similar to yours, he's a computer engineer in Osaka (his grandmother was Japanese though). Quite a feat to be accepted in the traditional Enka domain... Hey Khatzumoto !

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:53:46 +0000 http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com/blog/japanese-bands-the-list#comment-6705 Update: I've been getting these songs via YouTube and the converter program mentioned (YouTubeToMP3Converter). Basically I goto JPopAsia.com for the list of videos to look for (ps: it has kanji lyrics for many of the songs there). Then it's to YouTube for the download. Some other artists I've added: Kouda Kumi (yeah, yeah, but I do like the way she sounds), Hirai Ken (very, very, easy to sing with at Karaoke), Yamasaki (One More Chance came recommended, and I discovered "5cm per Second" anime since it was used as the theme song), Yuzu (well, Harukaze was the first Japanese I learned to sing, what can I say) and Miwa Sasagawa (I'm guessing some corporation sent very nasty e-mails to YouTube cause MOST of her videos are gone baby, gone. Too bad as her voice is amazing). I'm actually getting upto 100 hours of Japanese audio on my iPod. Slowly, oh so very slowly, more and more of it is making sense. PS: Bennie K gives me mixed feelings. Not up on the rap half of the Duo, but the singer (Yuki) has a gorgeous voice. The song Joy Trip (Japanese Blue Grass? No freakin' way) is really a trip.

While I'm not much of a hip-hop or rap fan myself, I like a lot of what you posted (especially Bonnie Pink, Amuro Namie, YUI, Sakamoto Maaya, sometimes BoA) and I'll check out some of those I haven't heard before. My regular playlist is to a large extent still made up of anime character songs. :P I love Love Psychedelico's style but I find their lyrics quite ... incomprehensible? You didn't post some of the popular j-rock groups? Like L'Arc-en-Ciel? You hate them too, lol? I personally dislike the whole visual kei movement. lolz @ Potemayo That OP rocked.

Think we would be picking up bad habits or getting a better handle on adapting Japanese to the situation at hand? PS: Finally saw a couple of Rip Slyme videos on YouTube. You're right, they're pretty cool even though I'm not into hip hop. Ok, question: What’s your opinion on singing these songs at karaoke while learning Japanese?

She is incredibly talented and I think the only way to describe her musical style is eclectic. I can recommend shiina ringo and her new project “tokyo jihen” or “tokyo incidents”.

Great list (not that I would know, really)! I should be able to actually start replacing my whole collection now instead of playing the same 8-song CD that I mixed from Rip Slyme over and over and over until I get bored out of my mind! I listen to music a lot, so if I don't have enough music to replace my fairly large collection, I get bored fast and it's not fun anymore. Also I love the recommendations of other media that you used and have posted lately (books, news, websites, podcasts, etc.). Thanks! Great list (not that I would know, really)!
