cal 6 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Forget the crap Jpop and disposable stuff. Can anyone recommend any Japanese artists that produce decent sounds for me to give them a check out? I'm sure they must exist Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites

alferg 0 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 does anyone remember that song with a chorus of guys all singing "Hai Hai Hai!" in the chorus? they played it 2-3 times a day in Niseko, february 2002. it was terrible, but really catchy - I'd love to find a copy of it for a giggle.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 low pressure lover I think you are referring to one of the Morning Musume masterpieces there, the festival-themed one.... ?? (I'll have to check my MM cd collection when I get back home) Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Not sure what your taste is like, but here are a few I'd recommend checking out: DJ Krush (hip hop), Towa tei (original), Cornelius (rock), Nujabes (hip hop), Buffalo Daughter (rock), Satoshi Tomiie (prog-trance), Ishino Takkyu (techno), the brilliant green (rock)(...used to be a guilty pleasure of mine) Im sure there are lots I'm forgetting, but thats a good start. Otherwise, I find j-pop, mainstream j-hip hop, and j-rock unbearable.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Satoshi Tomiie gets a big from me. She's only half listenable when Cornelius is on her case. Buriguri are though. That's an opinion Mr*. We learned about those the other day didn't we? Know what I mean? Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 I quite liked some of what I have heard of UA Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I agree about UA - shes like a 2nd rate Bjork, which isnt half bad :-) Also agree with The Brilliant Green, they are pretty good if you are into indie rock. They were heavily influenced by Ride, if you remember those (great) guys. Another decent group are Love Psychodelico, who are also indie-style. Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Love Psychodelico OK, but she should CHEER UP a bit. Are The Brillian Green still together? I thought that girl was off doing her candy pop February 6 or whatever its called. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I think she has a bunch of bands. Tommy 6, February 6...etc etc. There's one that has the same BG sound... Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 A few I've liked: Zoobombs, DJ Kentaro, Yoshinori Sunahara, UA, Puffy, Cornelius, Pizzicato Five, Captain Funk, DJ Krush, Kahimie Karie, Mad Capsule Markets, Dragon Ash, Pushim (but she's getting annoying lately)...thassall I can thinkabout right now.

Ocean11 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Goemon admitted to liking Puffy. Now we'll have to have about 20 posts saying "Goemon, you must be taking the piss mate." Link to post Share on other sites
IIIII 2 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I havent heard from Puffy for a long time. Are they still together? Give us the latest, O11! Link to post Share on other sites
Goemon 0 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I like Puffy's "nichiyobi no musume" and also their Puffy Remix Project EPs (PRMX). Nothing wrong with them. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Satoshi Tomiie is a bloke. He's a keyboard player who went to NYC and started hanging out with some of the big names in the early days of house music. His biggest tune is The Whistle Song, a deep house semi-classic which crops up from time to time on ordinary radio. It was produced by Frankie Knuckles. I don't like the stuff he makes, or his dj compilations so much, but they're all very professionally done. It's at the trancey end of progressive house, what a lot of the really big name djs (sasha etc) play. Another Japanese artist, a guy who calls himself Fantastic Plastic Machine, has just done a chilled out version of The Whistle Song with some nice acoustics and a soft scat laid over an easy samba beat. It's on one of Danny Krivit's mix CDs, maybe the Nite Life one. It's one example of a cover version that really works. There's loads of good Japanese club jazz. Go to Mr Bongo in Tokyo or Especial (the younger Okino brother from the Kyoto Jazz Massive's shop) in Osaka and I'm sure they'll have you spending your pennies in no time.
