Uh, thanks for the recommendation then.

Gotta get back into the J-music scene; kinda getting really bored of radio stuff...

Also, Hikki is really her own genre, huh.

What kind of music do you like? Maybe it'll be easier to recommend if we know your preferences? For starters, I won't recommend idols to you since you're not into them though there are better idol groups than 48G hehe, at least music-wise and performance quality.

I like hikki song also, to bad she alr hiatus

i guess u like R&B genre, i would recommend u to try out kato miliyah and chihiro. Both artist are R&B genre

Heartache by One OK Rock

I recommend you watch Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends and listen it at the closing credits.

The final scene that was missing in the anime Samurai X was Himura proposing to Kaoru

Hey guys! I came here because I wanted to share some of the song that made me wanted to listen more!







Is there any other nice songs to introduce? (personally like ballad and pop)

Hi guys, got recommendation on Jcore (EDM, hardcore dance and happy hardcore) tracks?
Usually I listening to an album from Hardcore TANO*C, Massive Circlez and Sketch Up! Recording. Looking for record labels that are similar to these doujin DJ. Thanks.

If anyone's interested, I'm helping to pre-order/order Jpop album/DVD/bluray. You can drop me a PM if there's any inquiry.

Hey guys, can recommend me a good website to discover japanese music? Any genre is fine. Thanks.

jpopasia or jpopsuki

Just to add a few more places where I get my usual fix of Jpop.

Here's Angerme's new MV for Taikei Bansei. It's actually a pretty good jam. Though I prefer their original group's name - S/mileage.



Anyone who's into pop/rock should give KANA-BOON's new album, TIME a try. Just gave it a listen last night and it was pleasantly good.
My favourite track - absolutely love the guitar riffs

Thank you to both of you

I started out listening to AKB48 a few weeks ago. Some songs quite catchy, sadly the members i like all graduate already

You're welcome!
Yeah, most of the 1st and 2nd gen already graduated. Those gens were the ones that worked their way up until the group got famous. It's just something idol fans need to get used to. Graduations are inevitable. You should see how much Morning Musume's members have changed lol..some of the old gen members are married and mothers now The current members are all younger than me

Are you new to Jpop or just got into idol music? Btw, if you like AKB's songs, I suggest you check their older singles like RIVER, BEGINNER, Iiwake Maybe, Oogoe Diamond, Namida Surprise etc...I prefer their older songs, very catchy and more unique than what they're doing now, at least imo. Now they just sound like they're rehashing the older templates and not as inspiring as before. Like they're running out of ideas.

Jpop is harder to find than say...Kpop but if you know the right place to search, trust me, you won't be disappointed. There are lots of gems out there waiting to be found, especially the indie scene

Agreed. korean music is easier to find probably because so many people are in to it. Currently, spotify is my only medium to get new japanese songs. Haha, I'd say I'm more new towards j-idol. I've known bands like the gazzete, one ok rock and x japan for quite some time, also the anime songs.

Yeah, i feel 48's older music are better. UZA, give me five, RIVER and kaze wa fuiteiru are the best for me. Their newer releases are more towards cutesy vibe i guess? Nice also, but I'm bias towards the first gen

Grad and election system is new to me though. Usually groups from other countries just disband or something.

I love UZA, I've been waiting for them to release another kakkoi/cool song for a while now but none. Idol groups are known for their graduation system (I think Morning Musume started the tradition). But not all groups practice that. Election system is still solely something only 48G does though. Don't worry, you'll get used to it after a while.

Sharing more stuffs I've been listening to lately.

If anyone knows the punk/rock group ELLEGARDEN before, the HIATUS is a band the lead singer created.


Here's the version with AKFG
