eclipsezero Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Haven't really heard any JP songs in a while, and only really know/remember a couple: Perfume Morning Musume Gackt Gazette Versailles Kalafina Lisa And a couple of artists here and there. Can be any genre really, I manage to like practically everything :3 So shoot! Quote
Sparkker Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I think the JP band for Overdrive games is Milktub.> Or something something<> Can anyone check if I'm right>> Quote
Daeyamati Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I'm more into the seiyuu side of JP music (as in, I tend to listen more to seiyuu who double as singers) so maybe you can try checking out: Kaji YuukiKakihara Tetsuya (his newer songs are really good)Horie Yui (I like her better as an artist than a seiyuu) ELISA recently came back from hiatus and released a new single, Soba ni Iru Yo, for the second ED of Valvrave. Her voice is really soft and soothing; if I were to describe it, it's like creamy chocolate that's been melted for spreading, kind of like butter lol. You should definitely give her a listen. Yanagi Nagi also gets a special mention because I'm a Nagi fangirl extraordinaire and she's the queen of my heart <3 She has such a wide vocal range and can sing anything from fun, light-hearted songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW_ckDj78gM to songs that'll make you depressed and question the meaning of life. Okay, not really, but some of her songs are really deep and make you think. She also came out with her first debut album earlier this month, which include some original songs, pieces from her previous singles, and even covers (i.e. Rurouni Kenshin's 1/2 and even a song from The Pillows). I unfortunately have not been able to get my hands on her first album because lolwhatismoney, but I've heard samples and judging from her previous works, it's definitely worth the try. Errrr this post ended up being longer than I thought so I think I'll just stop here before I endlessly gush about how amazing Yanagi Nagi. Tief Blau 1 Quote
Wolfscythe Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 From the few that i hear usually and are not anime related (at least as far as i know) there is Go!Go!7188. Besides that, i would say: -Kanako Itou -Minami Kuribayashi -Shizuka Itou -Maaya Sakamoto -Shikata Akiko -Katakiri Rekka -Miyuki Hashimoto Or sometimes I hear games music, like things of Daisuke Ishiwatari or remixes from Demetori and IOSYS. But I don't know if you'll like any of these. Quote

atchikotchi Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Ayane Asriel Eufonius Iori Nomizu Kaori Kanako Itou LiSA Nobuko Yousei Teikoku if you don't mind "heavy" stuff, you can check out 周平 (or Shuhei), they released a free full album a while back of rock/metal covers of popular vocaloid songs and its pretty good EDIT: tried to link to the website hosting their album for download, but its down :/ you can check it out on youtube tho ( ) Quote
Muki Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) supercell has some pretty good songs and vocaloid songs too. Kano (鹿乃) is a pretty good singer on nicovideo whoo is another good artist his music always gives a strange vibe Yukison has some really upbeat music If you like songs that attempt to tell a story highly recommend checking out NfN series by Maki http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/20900086 Forgot about mosaic.wav they do a lot of theme songs for eroges Edited July 17, 2013 by Muki Quote

Tief Blau Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Another Nagi fan?! Something tells me we're gonna be great friends. She has literally one of the best singing voices I have ever heard. Daeyamati 1 Quote
Heyitsjiwon Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Natsumi Kiyoura: She's probably best known for Tabi no Tochuu, the OP for Spice and Wolf Season 1. Tabi no Tochuu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN60i9YF7Ko fripSide: They've been making songs for animes and VNs. For example, they made both OPs for the two seasons of Toaru Railgun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tfh9hYaZJQ EGOIST: Pretty much supercell, but EGOIST, I believe, has a different singer. Quote
garejei Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I've been listening to lots of Uverworld and Chemistry lately, so I guess I'll recommend them. For reference, Chemistry did the opening song for Valkyria Chronicles 2 (got scrapped in the English version), while Uverworld did stuff like one of the openings of Gundam 00 or D Gray Man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHsXoX2IsTY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzauR3zSPbk Quote
