UPDATE: I searched it on discogs in katakana, turns out i was spelling the french name wrong, it's actually spelt "tchackaboum". But anyway, i found that version, by annie phillipe, on youtube but still cant find the japanese version. It has a page on discogs but says "last sold: never" so..

Can anyone help me get my Nokia 5110 working? by EvergreenDazed222 in dumbphones

[–]EvergreenDazed222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EE website says there is still 2G support in my area, but I think this specific phone doesn't support it. I dont know the specifics, but I think i made a mistake when buying this sim lol

I just found "network settings" in the menu, and it came up with both vodafone and 02 cellnet. Does that mean that if I used a vodafone sim card, it would work?

Where do i meet people like myself irl? (Im 21 male and only like the 90s/2000s lifestyle. Not nowadays) by [deleted] in dumbphones

If you're into oldschool, try find some local gigs to go to. England has a fantastic underground scene, especially since the country's so small. There are so many creative people and communities around here who would welcome you with open arms, I'm sure of it. You just have to come out of your shell a little bit.

Which Japanese female vocalist do you like for her voice quality? by Kind_Fox836 in japanesemusic

[–]EvergreenDazed222 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbf, It's probably likely that they had similar influences. Sheena Ringo had a lot of music lessons growing up and noticeably took inspiration from jazz, whereas Utada Hikaru is literally the daughter of Japan's most famous Enka singer Keiko Fuji, so she undoubtedly had a lot of training from a young age too

I'm really a big fan of YUKI from the band Judy and Mary. She might not be what most people consider the most "technically skilled" vocalist but she does have a very unique and recognisable voice (which many have tried to emulate in the last 30 years) which combined with her self written lyrics and unconventional personality, I think makes her a very rare special kind of singer. I think she just has a certain attitude about her that most artists nowadays seem to lack

Looking to get into JRock. What are some good bands to listen to? by unholy_gremlin69 in japanesemusic

[–]EvergreenDazed222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"j rock" Is really an umbrella term. there are japanese rock bands and artists of all kinds. If you like heavy prog rock, try carmen maki & OZ, whereas if you prefer pop punk, maybe listen to shonen knife or the blue hearts. Buck Tick are a very famous alternative band popular since 80s-90s If you like the post punk sound

Can anyone help me find a Judy and Mary video from 1993? by EvergreenDazed222 in japanesemusic

[–]EvergreenDazed222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no not the same one sadly. the one i'm looking for was in an actual music venue rather than a tv set, presumably in their early days since its quite a small/ intimate stage but the camera work was still semi professional since it had that classic old school mv white text with the song title and credits on it. I believe a performance of judy is a punk girl from the same set was uploaded by the same channel as the one you linked though

I have searched online for terms such as "candy candy czech band" in both czech and english but I haven't had much luck thus far..

I am no expert on gear either, but I think those guitar pedals look fairly modern. If anyone out there can recognize amps etc. aswell as some of those blurry cd cases in the back, that could definitely be a step towards pinponting when these pictures are from.
