A song I've discovered on YouTube a few days ago. Judging by the age of the YouTube channel, the band seems to be rather new.

I can recommend their other songs as well.

I can't get this song out of my head. It's so catchy!

Music video of the song "Fanfare" from SCANDAL. It is on the new album "LUMINOUS" that is to be released on 2024-03-20 (tomorrow).

There is also an official YouTube playlist with all the songs from the new album.

My favorites of the new songs are so far 1:47 and LOOP.

New music video from yonige. This is my second favorite songs from the new "Empire" album.

Most of yonige's music videos are rather long. Skip to 1:36 for the music.

I like the chill atmosphere in that song with the first part only being with vocals and without instruments.

There are currently only four or five songs from them but they've announced the title of the first album a few days ago, so there are new songs coming. I'm curious and excited to hear what kind of songs the new album will bring.

IIRC, Metabani has won some kind of newcomer contest. The prize was a studio recording of one song.

I found this song a few weeks ago on YouTube and I can't get it out of my head.

This is the MV of the opening song of the "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" anime (which, by the way, I can totally recommend; it's awesome).

I really like the 2D "game visuals" in the MV. These are done in the same style as in the "Scott Pilgrim agains the World" movie.

One of the heavier tracks from Hump Buck.

I generally like their faster paced (and heavier) songs.

Music video of a new song from Chilli Beans. This song will be on the new album "Welcome to My Castle" that is to be released on 2023-12-13.

I like the relaxed atmosphere of the song.

Silent Siren announced that they will be back from hiatus (with a support drummer at first) at the end of the year. This led me to listen to their entire discography for the last few days. I can't wait for a new single or album.

The MV for the new single Kimi ni sayonara was just released.

I like this kind of melancholic/slightly sad songs and I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past hour. It's really good :)

The MV of the latest single from my favorite band just dropped.

Once again I'm thinking about how far they have come since the start. Their musical style has changed quite a bit over the years which may not be everybody's cup of tea but I really like them (the songs and the band 😛) and the new song is no exception.

I really like the mix of Rock and EDM in this song.

"CENT" is CENT CHiHiRO CHiTTiii's solo project. She started it before the end of BiSH.

This is one of the more rock-like songs from her.

My favorite LOVEBITES song - Live!

One of the songs I'm currently listening to. The song and the music video feel more like a something from a musical. I quite like it. It makes me wish to be able to understand Japanese.

DeepL translates the video description as follows:

Tomoyasu Hotei's long-awaited latest work "GUITARHYTHM Ⅶ". In the 35 years since his solo debut "GUITARHYTHM" after the breakup of BOØWY, this is the seventh installment in the popular series that has impacted the scene by opening up an overwhelming world view.

Set in the year 2023, the first year of AI, the sound concept of this album is "Retro Future," reminiscent of 90s modern music, with a message of hope and warning for the future, and Hotei's guitar sings sharply and elongated throughout the entire album. The album has been highly acclaimed by many artists who should be called "guitarism children," and has been called the best work in the history of guitarism.

The music video for "Andromeda (feat. Aina the End)," which was released earlier in the year, has been a huge hit with fans on both sides. The film, directed by the brilliant Atsunori Higashiichi, depicts the sad and strange story of a scientist (played by Hotei) and an android (played by Aina the End) who entrust their dreams for the future to an android in a spectacular science fiction rock opera. Aina the End's stunning performance and presence, along with Hotei's silhouette, are stylishly and densely presented in this music video, which is sure to be talked about as a masterpiece that will remain in the history of music videos.

GUITARHYTHM Ⅶ" is an ambitious work that should be enjoyed by people of all ages, and can be called the culmination of Hotei's constant challenge to new styles as a guitarist.

One of the fun songs of Yabai T-Shirts Yasan. Here is the MV to the song and there is also a "Nisekoi" version (I believe that this song was one of the soundtracks of the Nisekoi live action movie; I've never seen it).

I remember reading an article in the Japan Times about this band after I discovered them back in 2018. Unfortunately, I'm currently unable to find it.

IIRC, they met at the university in Osaka and performed at a competiton where one of the critics said that they will never be successful because of their unsual lyrics. But now (2023) they are playing on all big rock festivals in Japan and have performed in the Osaka Jo-Hall (in 2021) and Nippon Budokan (this year).

Their lyrics are a bit unusal but fun. There are songs about bad Wi-Fi connections, different file formats and lots of Tank-Tops 😄

I like the melancholic feeling of this song.

Sometimes on hot summer days, I remember the opening scene with the railroad crossing and I get the desire to listen to this song again.

NINGEN ISU have a unique style that I haven't heard anywhere else. If you like this style I recommend you to listen to their whole discography. They have been around since the late eighties so there are a lot of songs.

One of my favorite tracks from ONE OK ROCK.

There are also two live versions available on YouTube: Live from "EYE OF THE STORM" Japan tour and the concert which made me discover this song: "Mighty Long Fall at Yokohama Stadium"
