Always enjoyed this same topic in the old forums, so here we go again. Rakim might appreciate it.
I personally tend to lean more toward band-oriented stuff, but you can post anything in here so long as it's Japanese (excluding videogame stuff; there's already a topic for that).
Metal, jazz, rap, soundtrack... I might hold it against you if you dig pop idol junk, but that's allowed too (and I'm shaking my fist at you already).
Grand majority of my favorite bands are Japanese, and there's been a weird surge of interesting, talented, and genuinely artistic bands popping up in the past few years. Really nice to see so much heavy stuff that isn't just noise; most of it is really melodic and technically complex, and I love that.
Only just listened to this band Dimlim for the first time a couple nights ago, and after a few songs I immediately popped onto CDJapan and ordered their first album. Was just expecting some junk metal based on the thumbnail, but good god, it's so much more than that.
The vocalist is obviously a fan of Kyo from Dir en Grey, but goddamn kudos to him for actually being able to pull of that kind of mental chaos with his voice. Very few can.
This is legitimate art.
