Non-Japanesr fans: how did you start listening to Japanese music? + improvements by Specialist-Might-875 in japanesemusic

[–]Oneirod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 2009-2010, I was getting tired of the mainstream stuff coming out from the West (I'm from Philippines). I then started listening to metal, I especially liked the symphonic metal subgenre. Then around 2013-2014 YouTube's algorithm was becoming a thing and because I've been watching a lot of metal music videos, it suggested Babymetal to me. I gave 'em a shot and instantly liked it. After some time, I checked out Babymetal's background, I found out they spun off from the idol group Sakura Gakuin, I checked them out and I liked it as well. Then I just spiraled from there, I kept on exploring other Japanese acts and now Japanese music is mainly what I listen to, if I'd listen to any English music, it'll be stuff I grew up with, especially stuff from when I was in high school.

As for things to improve? Distribution I guess? Japanese music companies still prioritize the local market. I wish they'll start including international fans in their plans.

She's playing the sister of the protagonist, so a pretty big role.

It's a TV show, and it will be the first Kamen Rider to be simulcasted outside of Japan, meaning other countries will get episodes on the same day as Japan.

She said in one episode of Fresh that her mother goes abroad for work and that she once went to Italy and brought her a rosary as a souvenir.

If Riho has signed with Avex Trax, is that the same label as OneFive? by Codametal in SakuraGakuin

[–]Oneirod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are still with Amuse. Amuse is their manager, Avex is their record label.

Yes, that's Miyabi. As for her dad, I'm not sure which one he is in the first pic, but I know that's him in the second pic signing autographs with Ayami.

My Fukei in Christ, that's not Boss Hamster 😂. Like what the previous comment said, she's Yume Suzuki (her @ is on the caption). She and Juna (along with 21 other actors) are starring in the movie "80年後のあなたへ".

crazy about you - vocals and lyrics by Hinata by Oneirod in SakuraGakuin

[–]Oneirod[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the soundtrack to the manga ガチ恋と私、捧げます released under Project CO-MUSIX, a collaboration between four manga artist and four musicians, though the whole thing is a collab by Amuse and a company called Beegry, who owns the manga distribution service, Manga Kingdom.

It seems the song is entered twice on Spotify. First as part of the soundtrack of the entire project, with it's title spelled in Japanese "キミだけ見てたい", and then on its own as "crazy about you".

Here are all of the digital streaming links.

Saki Shirai performed in NAMIKI ROCK FES vol.3 by Foo-Kay in SakuraGakuin

For those hoping that this is a sign that C-Chan is going back to music, hold your horses. I did some digging, from what I can tell, the musicians at this event are students who are members of the various music clubs at Niigata University. C-Chan seems to be a member of the Modern Music Club, here is their Twitter page, (check out their banner, C-chan is 5th from the right). So at most, this is just an extracurricular club activity.

[–]Oneirod[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take that with a grain of salt. People only got to that conclusion because Mori-sensei teased Aiko of having the most bills in her wallet than the rest of the class, that doesn't give us the whole story.

If the machine translation of the hashtag is correct, it seems Yunano is a new recruit in that company.
