i found this song by humpback, but i swear i've already heard something similar with the first 15 second of this song

Is Japan becoming a fan of Country Music?

hello everyone, a few years back i posted this playlist to the subreddit. thank you to everyone that contributed to this, i found some cool artists through it and it was overall a fun project. this time around i have a new prompt for the community to contribute to.

the prompt of this playlist is to add japanese songs with female vocals that are around or under 100,000 monthly listeners. the goal here is spread lesser known artists to others and also selfishly to expose myself to female vocals as that is my preference.

here is the new playlist for you guys to contribute to. another thing to add, try not to add an artist’s full discography or whole albums (an ep here and there is fair game), when you do that you effectively snub out the opportunity for other contributions to be discovered and in a way you devalue your own contributions. thank you for your time guys, hopefully this playlist is just as successful as the last.

edit: also feel free to check out the japanese playlists on my spotify profile as there’s a lot of stuff on there and it may help you discover stuff you otherwise would not have.

Hey! Im starting a visual kei inspired discord server anyone over the age of 13 is welcomed to join ! Spread this with friends relatives etc if you think anyone else beyond reddit would be interested we have many cool channels and a hopefully growing community (3 people currently...) Thank you and have a nice day / night!!!

So I've heard this sound in quite a few japanese songs and I'm thinking it must be a sample from somewhere since it always sounds the same even in other songs.

It is the piano that happens at 1:15 - a friend likend it to the begining of Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles but it's not the same.

Also, does anyone happen to know what the specific piano sound is and if there is a vst somewhere for it?

I discovered RADWIMPS from your name and now I'm lwk obsessed. They recently released a new song called Yuzutsu.

I LOVE IT!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LOVE SONG 😭 THE TRANSLATION IS SOO BEAUTIFUL.

How about this one?

Hi everyone, I've been listening to Yuna Kobayashi 帰り路 for quite a while. She's heavily underrated, with only about 20k monthly listeners, I think.

Earlier today I wanted to stream her songs on Spotify, but her music disappeared out of nowhere. I've been searching for about 8 hours and haven't found a single playlist or album containing her songs.

Can anyone help me find where I can still listen to her music? I'm a big fan, and I don't want this gem of a song to be forgotten.

The moment Japanese idol music went prog. Lots of rock n’ roll instrumentation with influences from reggae and Spanish pop.

“Playback Part 2” is the monster on this album, sold like hotcakes, and is still iconic today.

There’s a reason Momoe Yamaguchi is still a J-pop standout.

Live performance by Syzygy, an indie band from Osaka, Japan.
This is “THAT’S MY GIRL” from one of our recent shows.
Would love to hear what you think!
