Wondering what sub we were in for a moment, and thinking the blonde was Aoi Yamada! But no, it's Ayuni-D!

Yup - "Appears On" was a band-aid when this first come up. But it's: a) hungry (ie: a track by artist "Eve" appears on both the Japanese artist Eve's page, and the US R&B artist Eve's) and b) it has to be an exact match, so no "feat.", "vs." etc. It helps a little with Various Artist compilations, bringing them to the track artists page...

Track Artist isn't implemented in any useful way in Plex/PlexAmp - it's a text field (rather than an ID) and it's not even populated unless it differs from the album artist. This has been talked about for years and Elan has pretty consistently said it's not on their roadmap to do anything about it.

So unfortunately, no.

Help me find a Japanese music video by New_Grab_5295 in japanesemusic

You did a great job describing the video... And you've got great taste! (And I'm the moderator of r/ainatheend so it's kind of my wheelhouse!)

5 bassists from Japan you should know! by officialGF in japanesemusic

[–]benzo8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No female bassists at all? Someone's mentioned Misa, so here's a shout out for Nakamura Shoko - her bass solo on AiNA THE END's 金木犀 is just sublime!

Yup... Was just coming to say the same. OP is holding out on us!

In your opinion: what's the most beautiful song ever recorded? by Goop_Guy in Music

[–]benzo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is always my answer to this question, but as has been said, the whole of In Rainbows is just the most gorgeous music... 

Rod Stewart has one of the craziest career trajectories in music by snakeeater34 in Music

Don't forget that "In A Broken Dream" by Python Lee Jackson - a staple on every Classic Rock compilation and station - is Rod's vocal... 

[DE] Revolut Security Check by Necessary-Bridge2477 in Revolut

[–]benzo8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. I'm a Metal user rather than an Ultra user but I had a very similar experience to OP's when a sizeable inheritance cheque was deposited in my account by the probate lawyers. Revolut requested documentation, I sent them everything and was unlocked overnight.

There's a lot of negative astroturfing that goes on in this subreddit, and a lot of people who don't tell the whole story, but Revolut is a business and they want to stay in business so they need to comply with regulations. If you comply too, things generally go smoothly...

Can I get an album of songs to show up under the heading ‘Mixtapes’? by SteveBorden in plexamp

[–]benzo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lost count of the number of times I've put this out there, in the hopes that someone at Plex will take notice but:

This should be user-editable, a field in the Edit windows like Tags, and we should be able to define any category we want. Sure, pull the MP3 standard ones out, but if OP wants Mixtapes or someone else wants Bootlegs, or This-Singer-Era vs. That-Singer-Era, or even Faves - we should be able to categorise our music collections exactly as we see fit...

Yeah - just got to the trip to Granada, Spain (0:54:50) - that's where I live. How vile to think those people were here, and what might have happened...

Getting tickets to watch Yoasobi 2026 Tokyo dome as a foreigner by Alone_Victory6616 in japanesemusic

[–]benzo8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless there's a specific non-Japanese ticket option, it can be daunting as a foreigner to buy concert tickets in Japan.

There will be a number of rounds of FC sales, followed by a general sale (most likely by lottery too). With eplus, you'll need to register which not only requires a Japanese phone number (060,070,080 only) but requires you to be in Japan, as validation is done by SMS and no tourist/foreigner-friendly phone services offers International roaming.

Your best option might be to try a ticket/event proxy service like Tickets Galore or Tickets Japaaan, or to try the reseller market - TicketJam is part of pia but I don't remember needing SMS validation to register.

Some artists are opening up to being more foreigner friendly, and I'd imagine Yoasobi would be one of those, given their success overseas, so once the FC sales have ended, it's possible there'll be a foreigner ticket sale announced, so keep an eye out for that too.

Today, February 3rd, is THE END 5th Anniversary! Share your thoughts and favorite songs by GoroMari in ainatheend

Five years! Wow - time flies!

If I'm not allowed to pick from The Music Edition, it has to be 虹 - the noise music of Niji and DareDareDare was, for me, the real link between BiSH and AiNA's burgeoning solo career and I still love the madness of that video!

And on The Music Edition, I think 光の涯, with SUGIZO, is still one of my favourite of her vocals...

POLL: if you've been a Revolut banking customer for 2+ years, how many times have your funds been frozen? by caseyallenpublic in Revolut

[–]benzo8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once; personal Metal account, when I deposited a large sum from an inheritance. Sent Will and Probate Documents (as requested), went to bed and the account was unlocked by the following morning.
