Updates happening. And as a sidenote, for anyone avoiding this thread due to my metal tendencies, most of the stuff I've been posting is lighter rock, so feel free to click away.
Oddly enough, today I've gone some stuff with no lyrics to identify it as Japanese, and also some stuff in English. But I came across these and enjoyed them enough to share.
Mouse on the Keys - 最後の晩餐Akeboshi - Kamisama no Shitauchi(there was more, but I couldn't find them...)
And some stuff with actual Japanese lyrics:
ストレイテナー (Straightener) - Little Miss Weekend - Good fun.
ストレイテナー - Lightning - These guys have their moments. This is definitely one of them.
Qomolangma Tomato - Through Your Reality - A little heavier, a little weirder, but kind of fun, and the video is goofy as hell.
The Molice - Headphone - Also fun and goofy. And catchier than it should be.
The Molice - Love SongMacdonald Duck Eclair - Yellow Go - A little bit of cute-sounding WTF for your evening.
Perfume - Edge - Okay, it's straight up J-pop, I admit it, and it scares me that it's even in this thread. But this thing grooves fucking hard, seriously.
Immi - Joe le Taxi - Uh... repeat above. Even has video so you can want to vomit even more. But it's catchy, damn it, and I sort of used to listen to a lot more electronic stuff... I'm having flashbacks...
One group I particularly like is School Food Punishment. Best band name evar, and the chick is cute.
School Food Punishment - Butterfly Swimmer - Picks up about a minute in.
School Food Punishment - Feedback - I kind of like these guys.
School Food Punishment - You May Crawl - A bit more energetic, and catchy as hell. Wub.
School Food Punishment - Futuristic ImaginationSchool Food Punishment - Ukabi AgaruSchool Food Punishment - Set Low, FineI'm not quite sure what to make of Rinto Shite Shigure. I want to like them, but their lead singer doesn't want me to like them. If he did, he wouldn't sing. But they're still interesting. Think: Japanese Mars Volta, kinda'. I wish I could find the song I really liked that I heard, but these are pretty decent. If you can get used to the voice. When the chick sings, it's better.
凛として時雨 - Telecastic Fake Show
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lh76RiaQ6c]凛として時雨 - JPOP Xfile凛として時雨 - 感覚UFO凛として時雨- - Disco FlightI had a number of others, but man, I can't find the fuckers anywhere. It's hard to come by this stuff in easily-accessible formats sometimes. Anyway, this is plenty for now. I need a break.
EDIT - And one final addition before I go to bed because Susumu Hirasawa is a mad monkey genius.
Town-0 Phase-5 LIVE - Crazy man is crazy... but what a voice.
BERSERK ~Forces~ - Truly one of the most epic songs ever written. This thing is an absolute masterpiece.
Also, if you haven't seen
