I think I like the third one the best. Pumping dynamics compression on the first one kills my ears. Coupled with vocal processing makes it sound a bit too "modern US" for my taste. However that third one is pretty good. The second one has a bit similar mood, but I like those synth sounds on the third one more.

I actually like the second one the best, I think the vocals just sell it to me that much. ^^ It's very westernized music for sure, but I find myself listening to this kind of stuff a lot lately... Just for the chill factor. Kiki Vivi Lily being another thing on repeat for the past two weeks...

Nice

I recently heard "Ito" by Miyuki Nakajima - pretty sweet love ballad from 1992.

It has been covered by many artists. Since it moved me too, I decided to record my organ cover as well Here it is:

Hilarious I remember hearing a bit similar '80s song, but don't know the title. Will try to shazam it next time it comes up on the radio

Found it - it was "Funk Fujiyama" by Kome Kome Club:

Recently I stumbled upon this:

Pretty weird mixture of disco and synthpop from 1981

Heavy metal girls from the band Show Ya Whole album is good:

New entry in my collection of ambivalent j-pop/anison fascinations, GARNiDELiA's music is kind of trashy... Or maybe very trashy even, but it's catchy and the vocalist... She's not just a good singer, but also has tons of charisma and seems to be the person behind the band's visual style, which is pure kitsch, but also elaborate and polished to the point where I can't help but appreciate it. Also their life performances are just SO TIGHT. ^^

I have to confess - I love their G.R.N.D. album.

Please forgive me spamming with my recordings (but actually that's what I'm really listening to right now - after I record something, I tend to listen to it a lot in the following days )

Anyway, I just uploaded my cover version of 誕生日 (Tanjoubi - Birthday) by one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Anri Kumaki, to celebrate birthday of another singer-songwriter - Yoko Matsuura I mentioned a few posts before I think it turned out quite nicely
