Spitz is one of my all time favs! <3 And that translation brings back memories because I'm pretty sure that's my meager translation I used to sub their music videos back in the day.
I'll look into them later, thanks!Modern Paramore or old emo/pop-punk Paramore?
ONE OK ROCK are the closest thing to the latter (and all the western bands from that scene)

But if you want something that sounds like Paramore's latest album I'm not sure someone in Japan is doing the same thing for now...
Maybe FIVE NEW OLD? Not sure they're that similar but that's the closest thing I could think of.

If you're lucky enough you can find stuff on your local iTunes Store/Apple Music/Spotify.Where/How can I buy and download these songs? Is there a preferred method to obtain Japanese music digitally? I'd like to load up my ipod / phone to take them to the gym this week and give them a listen.
Hey people. I was wondering if any of you pay attention/listen to the utaite community? If so let me just say I've grown fond of alfakyun. over the past month, love feminine deep voices.
Anyone knows a couple groups similar to Asriel or Yousei Teikoku?

Also, not so fan of the idol stuff, but I love Judy and Mary and this Sakura Gakuin cover is pretty rad:
Hahahah whoops. What about this one?this is like Kurita traveled back in time and ruined my high school love of JAM
Hey now, I'm just a Keyakizaka (and BiSH) die-hard. Don't act like I'm an idol connoisseur!this is like Kurita traveled back in time and ruined my high school love of JAM
Can anyone recommend other bands, or even specific songs that sound similar to music from Wagakki Band?
I've listened to this one maybe 25 times already, though I know it's not their full band. I like at least all their songs where they've done music videos.
Thank you!

At last, a place on the internet for me to hoot and holler about Haruka Shimotsuki and obscure doujin circles.

Try AYUTRICA/Eclipseed (same composer and vocalist in both) and Ariabl'eyeS. They're not as heavy as Yousei Teikoku but they've got a similar symphonic/gothic style to Asriel.

You might also want to look up Denkare if you haven't heard of them before. They might as well be Yousei Teikoku, Yui is the lead singer. Unconfirmed, but it's obviously her - a lot of their music was apparently composed for some real unsavory H-games which might be why she doesn't want her name on it.
It made me think of a popular Touhou metal band that we ran into last holiday. I don't remember their name though. I mainly remember their CDs were ridiculously cheap. But let me give you Ancient Myth instead (a class better than that band I cannot remember).
The new BiSH album will have 11 new songs as well as GiANT KiLLERS and Promise the Star, the DVD/blu-ray will include the YOYOGi GiANT KiLLERS and TBS3 shows.
I'm not too familiar with Japanese punk but I really love Shonen Knife. Any recommendations for similar stuff I should check out?
These are great, thanks. I know about Denkare and their relationship to some insane H-games, heh. And yeah, it is pretty obviously her, she even covered Vampire with Yousei Teikoku.
This is great too, thanks a lot you two.
And since I'm here, might as well post a couple more songs
One of their best.Also, what does everyone think of the new Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas album?
They're just on hiatus. Seems like the men are still active, so it was probably more of a break for Kiyoe.Ikimono-gakari: I found their anniversary collection last year in Tokyo. After a sample of an earlier album, I bought their entire discography. As it turns out, they just had a breakup so I don't know if they'll be making any more.

That's not the kind of music video I expected for that song... LOL
After my last trip to Japan I've been going more heavily into Japanese music, although I'm having some difficulties finding the right niche. I don't care too much for the sugary AKB48 type stuff, and there's a lot of rock/punk that I don't really care for either. My three favourite artists so far:
Sarah Alainn. She's multilingual but based in Japan. I first discovered her through "Beyond the Sky" in Xenosaga and have now recently bought her fifth album. She composes some of her own stuff and plays the violin, but mostly her albums are covers of powerful ballads. She's also on Itunes so it's easy to have a listen.
(fin)
Oh, and a bonus as it turned up on Youtube:
Sambomaster: I only know of this song, intimately, after playing Ouendan 2. it's hilarious how the video is basically a Ouendan story. Maybe I should see what else they've done...

Right, so I might derail the thread a bit.
Most of the posts here are pretty poppy (no judgement), but I'm gonna go ahead and ask if you have any Japanese fusion jazz recommendations.
Something along these lines... I love me some Casiopea.
