I use spotify US free, It doesnt seem to be missing most of what i listen to except big label oldies.
On spotify i follow playlists curated by Japanese music news sites (Spincoaster, Cinra) , labels (Lute) , artists, and Spotify Japan.
On Twitter I follow artists i like and individual members of bands and i pay attention to what their doing and who their rolling with at shows.
Thats really it to be honest. I dont even use youtube much for discovery anymore. I occasionally find something nice being talked about on jps.
Here are some playlists i follow on spotify:
It helps that i have a computer that won't struggle to load this thread now lmao. My old computer was miserable with embeds
Any good electronic music this year? preferably no kawaii bass

Chouchou!
They generally mix electronica with some nice piano melodies. This album in particular is their "experimental album", but their songs generally are pretty similar to these.
They'll release another album in December, as part of their "theme" series, from which came my favorite song of theirs:
This is some great music. Wasn't something I would actively search for, so thanks!
Spotify only has 2 albums, but I like that Oort seems to get crazier with every track.
I don't know what kawaii bass is but Pasocom Ongaku Club released an amazing album. Hasegawa is on it actually, doing the vocals for the last song.
Chouchou!

This song in particular has a strong breakcore vibes. This year, Suiyoubi no Canpanella's producer, Kenmochi Hidefumi, released an album in that vein:
There's also Laxenanchaos, but the EP he released this year sucks compared to last year's album he released with Virgin Babylon Records. The only song I liked from that was this:
I was wondering why I could only listen to three of the songs on that album the other day. I didn't realize that the album wasn't even out! Kurita , this was the album I was getting that error from. The error should've told me the real reason!Shun Ishiwaka (CRCK/LCKS drummer) is releasing an album on December 4th under the name Answer to Remember

Loved every single minute of it!eh, that last king gnu album wasn't great imo. the first was amazing and i was so let down by sympa.
So lame. I need more.they broke up but in an incredibly cryptic fashion, saying something about other planes of existence or something stupid like that
the real reason is that they dwindled from like 8 members to 2 or 3 and then just fizzled out
chelmico are doing the OP for the anime adaptation of Eizouken ni ha te wo dasuna!, can't wait to hear it.
Rachel is a big fan of the director.
I forget. What happened to ・・・・・・・・・? They're on hiatus or they broke up? (also why?)
You might be interested in RAY, which the ・・・・・・・・・'s management team supports. They're pretty new tho.
Pretty good.
