Japanese Music Recommendations

Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 6:03 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I have a small and slowly growing selection of jdorama/anime songs, so there isn't much to post.

Okay, I'm going to try this, using sendmefile (never used them - or any other for that matter). tested it and it seems to work ok, keeps the files for 14 days. - Though it wouldn't work in firefox (had to use ie.. though that's a small price to pay considering the rapidshare alternative)

Yui - Life
Pretty good song - 4th(I think) ending theme to the anime Bleach

UVERworld - D-tecnolife
Awesome Aweeesome song - 2nd opening to the Bleach anime

Takashi Sorimachi - Poison
Brings back memories of watching GTO (^_^) - Opening theme

Gackt - Farewell
From his new album Diabolos (only one I have)

and incased that site doesn't work.. [ultrashare]

Chihiro Onitsuka - Borderline
Nice song, taken from the Casshern OST (live action)

The back horn - REquim
Also from the Casshern OST .. I'd like to hear more songs from them but I can't seem to find a website or owt.

Hyde - Masquerade
Last one from the Casshern OST - It's a really good OST (;^_^)

Susumu Hirasawa - Yume no Shima Shinen Kouen
Paranoia agent is a weird anime and this song is awesome as the opening theme (always made me want to rewind and play the opening again)

The Pillows - Ride On Shooting Star
From the FLCL OST .. I think the pillows are pretty well known.

adrian22: I thought it was best to merge your thread with this existing one, since it's all about song/artist recommendations. Let's try to keep D-addicts forums clean. Smile

Lowest...thanks for all those songs! you can't use Netscape for SENDMEFILE, I think you can only use Explorer. as for ULTRASHARE, I had no problems dl'ing from it using Netscape.

just thought about something...if you guys don't know what band/artist you're looking for I suggest downloading Oricon and this kind of stuff. this is pretty cool coz there's a lot of different bands and different genre. you can choose what you like. I luv Oricon coz I always find some new interesting band I didn't know before

Yumeji's Theme (Originally Used in Seijun Suzuki's Movie"Yumeji") Umebayashi Shigeru. Though I heard it first from the HK movie "In the Mood For Love". I think it's very romantic.

I will share music!
I have a large collection of JRock.
This is how I will be sending them.
I will send them via Gmail.
Since Gmail does not limit file sizes and such in e-mails.
So here's how it works, I will be posting a list of Bands I have music of, you will request one song or more. ( I will limit this at 3 per person per 5 days) Just so I do not get overworked.
Now I can only send you these if your e-mail provider will allow e-mails of this size. Some of my mp3s are 320kbps (super high quality) so they will be large files.
G-mail I know for sure allows it, so if you need a gmail account I have plenty of invites so PM me for one if you want.

Now the list of J-Artists I have:
Shiina Ringo (Entire Discography)
Utada Hikaru (Entire Discography)
Orange Range (Entire Discography, including their new album NATURAL)
The Back Horn (Large amount)
L'Arc~en~ciel (Entire Discography)
Malice Mizer (Entire Discography)
Asian Kung-Fu Generation (Pretty much everything from Kunkei-Five.M and on)
Koda Kumi (Her recent Best-First Things single collection)
M-Flo (Astromantic and Beat Space Nine)
Dragon Ash (Rio de Emoticon)
Stance Punks (Howling Idol and Self-titled album)
Tokyo Jihen (Kyoiku album)

This is all I can remember for now.

Trondog...instead of sending them by e-mail, why don't you try using 1 of those free web hosting sites:
http://www.ultrashare.net/ (30 mb)
http://www.megaupload.com/ (250mb)
http://freespace.filefront.com/1 (not sure)
http://rapidshare.de/ (50mb)

I haven't used any of those to upload, but I've dl'ed from them. There's some others like yousendit or sendmefile also. I think you'd save more time this way plus not everybody has a large capacity e-mail account.

Jrock/Pop/Rap

Arashi (Your fun loving boy band)
ALICE NINE (awesome guitar) ::tackles Tora::
Pierrot (always good. I'd start with music from their Private Enemy CD)
L`Arc~en~Ciel (A good rock group that's been around for a long time. ^^)
Orang Range (Rap/Rock, good band!)
Rip Slyme (Rap/rockblues-ish? ^^' heh. I love the theme song they did for Gantz)

YesAsia.com - They have some higher prices, but you'll be able to see what all there is in Jrock/Pop/Rap, etc.
