JMusic

[Random]

I know I'm not the only one here who likes Japanese music, so I thought I might as well. ;D

Favorite artist? Favorite song? Favorite Engrisshy band name?

And now, to spark the eternal debate - JRock or JPop? (which, in hindsight, is sort of like asking Pepsi or Coke, M&Ms or Smarties, Clay or Ruben... )

Personally, my favorite artist and song are Gackt -- anyone who dresses up like a Japanese schoolgirl just for his Dears is definitely worth loving -- and his Vanilla, and my favorite band name...

......

...well, you just can't beat Sons Of All Pussys.

[Bkun]

Favorite Song: .. Hard to decide. I suppose Beauty & Stupid by hide.

Favorite Artist: Gackt

Favorite Engrishy Band Name: Sons of All Pussys because that's just great

JPop or JRock: JRock

[Jerseymilk]

Favourite artist: Gackt

Favourite song: Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto by Gackt, or Dybbuk by Gackt, or Genesis of Next by Globe(just can't decide I'm afraid ^_^)

Engrishy Band name: Porno Graffiti(plus they're a great band) ^_^

[Dayspring]

Gah. I don't follow enough. I guess JRock would be whoever sang Information High in Macross Plus. JPop would be Gundam songs galore.

Since I seem to have only JPop favs out of the two genres (I think), I'll say I prefer JPop.

And I don't know if Information High is Engrish or JRock. ;D

[Jerseymilk]

I would say that it's more JRock. But then again, it was composed byy Yoko Kanno, how can you categorize her stuff?

[Kira37]

I take it that some of you guys might like Puffy AmiYummi's cartoon show that will be premiering on Cartoon Network this year supposedly?

[Jerseymilk]

I'm not a big fan of PuffyAmiYumi myself, they're alright. I do love the Teens Titans theme song they perform though.

[Mochi]

The only japanese songs I know are DBZ ones and some from other animes( a few Inuyasha, Gundam Wing, and Ruroni Kenshin). But I like Piccolo-San Daisuki best and Kageyama Hironobu is my favorite singer. ;D

[zackarotto]

Right now, Asian Kung-Fu Generation is my favorite J-Rock band, but I'm just now discovering Gackt. Some of his stuff is really cool, but I don't like all of his songs. It's weird, with him.

[Jerseymilk]

Ya I looooove Asian Kung Fu Generation! And Gackt's music is like that, all of his songs are really different from one another. Zacko, you may want to give L'Arc en Ciel a listen, I think you'd like a lot of their music, it's a little more consistent, they're one of my favourites. Other bands I recommend checking out: Pierrot, Fake?, X Japan, Janne D'Arc, Globe, Judy and Mary, The Pillows, Porno Graffiti, Hitomi.

For J-pop: No one's a good as Maaya Sakamoto and Hikaru Utada in my opinion, but other ones I highly recommend are: Akino Arai, KOKIA, Bonnie Pink, W-inds, Shiina Ringo, Dream, T.M. Revolution, Susumu Hirasawa

Those would be my recommendations anyway.

And Mochi, those animes all have great music, especially DBZ, so you have good taste! ^_^ And Hironobu Kageyama is right up there for me too.

[VegettoEX]

The only "JRock" I listen to is some Asian Kung-Fu Generation and Bump of Chicken (with a little L`arc en Ciel; mostly some newer stuff... "Stay Away" was fuckin' awesome).

My favorite song is Bump of Chicken's "Sailing Day" (from the 4th One Piece movie, actually ^^).

[Jerseymilk]

Dang, I forgot about Bump of Chicken!(another one of my favourite "Engrishy" band names ;D) I also just remembered Plastic Tree. Ah, there are just too many I like I guess.

[zackarotto]

I know Pierrot and X Japan. Good stuff. I'll especially look for L'Arc en Ciel, as well as any of those other bands you mentioned, like Bump of Chicken. I don't think I'll look for much more Gackt though... I hate going through songs from an inconsistent band to find what I like and don't like. Not that being completely consistent is a good thing either...

Woo! JRock!

[Mochi]

I haven't heard any songs from Gravitation yet... Does anyone know where I can download some?

Dream, T.M. Revolution

Wooooooooooooo! Love Dream and T.M. Revolution! At least, what I've managed to hear. Night of Fire and Invoke are two of my all time favorite songs. ;D

Just wish I could find some English lyrics somewhere....

[Jerseymilk]

Well hey, T.M. Revolution did do "Heart of Sword" from Kenshin after all. One of the best anime songs ever in my opinion! ;D

[Dayspring]

I just remembered a band: Two-Mix!

[zackarotto]

Hmm? Two-Mix did that Gundam stuff, right? At one point, I loved White Reflection.

Gackt songs I've found and liked: Lu:na, Death Wish, Mizerable.

Hyde songs I've found and liked: Hello (It's the only one I've got)

I'm trying to find Stay Away right now... no luck.

Found more of their songs, and Asian Kung-Fu Generation still rocks.

[Dayspring]

Two-Mix also did almost all the Gundam songs since at least wing. lol
Least they don't suck.

Oh? What are you implying?

[Jerseymilk]

Oh, I forgot about Two-Mix as well! Great choice Dayspring, they're another awesome group. ^_^ And Zacko have you heard Asian Kung Fu's "Mugen Glider" yet? I highly recommend it!

[zackarotto]

Mugen Glider is one of the ones I found tonight. It's great.

[Dayspring]

That it's a good thing that Two-Mix rocks hard. Otherwise the Gundam tracklist for like 8 shows would suck.

Because Mochi asked for Gravi downloads and I overreact.

There's another good six hundred or so JMusic songs in the inbox -- according to the file count there are 695, but some of them got uploaded twice and there are videos and pictures in there, too -- that can be put up for download, including Gackt, Hyde, L'Arc, and all sixty-five versions of Koi wa A La Mode. Anyone up for the full list?

[zackarotto]

I clicked the link, but I didn't see any songs in an inbox... Okay, I have no clue what I'm doing.
