So ive been listening to some japanse music and trying to extend my ipod library a bit..50 songs just doesn't cut it anymore lol. Ive been trying to think of some good titles to fill up my ipod with to listen to at work...anyone have any ideas? i have Yui new genration, Bleach the best soundtrack, a random soundtrack of macross frontier, full metal aclemest soundtrack, elfin lied songs, and some random anime music here and there.
Try Orange Range, High and Mighty Color, and Utada Hikaru. Those 3 are pretty good, and each is different. Its a pretty good starting point if ur getting into japanese music.
I have plenty on my iPod so here is what I suggest.
BoA
Ayumi Hamasaki
Nami Tamaki
With those three and Utada, I have 433 songs.
If you like Metal music, then you should check out Deluhi. Try Hybrid Truth it's the song of theres that got me listening to them.
And I would also suggest Origa, but I think that is Russian. If your wondering who Origa is. It is the person who does the openings for both seasons of GITS:SAC.
While you are at it HalCali, Flow, Ikimono Gatari, Back On, Aqua Timez, AAA eto... Inoue Jo, Noria, Suara, Nejima Megumi, May'n, Kenichi Asai, Ayumi Hamasaki, Girl Next Door and indeed, Utada Hikaru rocks!
Have you tried visual kei bands? ^_^ Gets me pumped up at 6AM. Like... the GazettE, Alice Nine, jealkb... pretty good stuff if you're in to glam rock, punk and metal meshed into one.
