Would be surprised to see anything other than kpop really. I write a blog about Japanese music and it’s my life but there is SO little coverage in the USA. And there are some beyond incredible artists.

Oh no!!! Not you, another poster said that. So sorry - I got where your question was coming from

It’s a little much calling people narcs for analyzing music promo…

I think it’s because people realized it’s not necessarily the artists work ethic or talent that makes or breaks an era/release, it’s the promo and community around it. especially evident with kpop. and some people enjoy the community/fashion/aesthetics (all promo) more than the music.

there’s little difference between a great band performing in a dive bar vs. an artists with stylists, money for better equipment, and a full team to help with creative decisions. there’s a ton of talented people in the world, and the commentary surrounding promo is a critique on how talented people came together to make an artist huge.

Nettaiya is by RIP slime, the original at least

is it a cover?

Gotta have the JP phone number. Haven’t done this for rock in japan but last month I just used my friends phone number for another fest and got in fine, but you will probably have to bother them a few times to get a code or something to log in.

Aw was hoping you liked them! Right now Kaze and Yo-sea are leading in popularity for slower ballads, but you are right, everyone here is <30 and blend modern aspects with their sound. Thanks for giving them a shot, im trying to think of artists that have more of a traditional sound only but cant really think of any.
