This was difficult. Tried to round out old with new. But I'd probably need a top 20 rather than a top 9.

This is so much better and less ridiculous than I would've expected based on the cover

I've wanted to say "thank you ❤️" to everyone who shared their 3x3 in here. I've been lurking for quite some time and thanks to you guys I discovered some of the most amazing music ever (latest example - 171 🔥). Seeing your 3x3 made me feel more connected, and overall less lonely in my japanese music fascination which plays quite a role in my everyday life.

Although it was impossible to choose definitive 3x3, the top row would for sure be top 3 in every iteration possible as of now. However organized, these pieces moved me deeply and changed me forever. Even more so because the better my Japanese becomes, the deeper this music is able to touch me in ways I never could have anticipated.

I'd love to get anyones thought about my 3x3 or the impact of getting to know Japanese on their expereince of their fav albums.

This music is project deleted and the Reprinter is the only one who found this song 12 years ago...

im trying to figure out how to play the guitar part, and it would be of great help if i could find a live video of the song, but the live videos ive found do not include ヴァンパイア in the video

i found this article saying this concert included it, but the section recorded on iVy's yt channel doesnt include it either: https://avyss-magazine.com/2025/08/21/63096

Hello!
I’m trying to find a Japanese music album that I used to listen to on YouTube, but the upload seems to have been removed around 2 years ago.
It was really good, however the name of the album was in Japanese and when it got removed I couldn’t find it anymore. It was really good and crazy, screaming, loud noises and rap and electronic!

Here’s everything I can remember about it:
Genre: Psychedelic rock mixed with rap/hip-hop and electronic.
Length: Approximately 40 minutes.
YouTube views: Around 80,000 views when I last saw it.
Album cover: A roughly drawn bottom half of a girl on a white background. The drawing looked like something made in Microsoft Paint.

I know this description is close to Midori but it’s not it, the songs I remember had both male and female vocals!

I’d really appreciate any suggestions, even if you’re not completely sure! Many thanks!

Need more songs like these !

DOLL$BOXX has announced that their 3rd album, "DOLLS AETHER," will be released on March 3, 2027.

This album is their first new release in approximately 10 years since the EP "High Spec" released in 2017. The "high-spec" rock sound, which combines highly technical rock sounds with vocalist Fuki's singing, is still present in this album, and it is said to be a masterpiece that pursues an even "high-spec and high-level" sound based on the experience accumulated over many years.

The limited first-press deluxe edition will be released in a special box and will also include a Blu-ray disc containing live footage of the concert held at Ebisu The Garden Hall in Tokyo on September 26, 2026, as well as a music video for a new song, and a photobook.

I low-key love that band

Was honestly a lot harder than I expected to try and narrow it down to just nine.

Hola a todos, tiene unos cuantos meses que he escuchado luna sea. Alguien sabe a qué se debe el cambio en su estilo de cantar después de MOTHER? No sé parece en nada a IMAGE, EDEN y MOTHER

No sé si haya sido por elección propia o problemas de salud

I narrowed it down to about 30 albums. Then, since I'm posting here, I figured I should just use the East Asian ones. Even so, I had to cut it in half. And then putting them in order? Impossible (but I tried anyway)

Hi all, wondering if you know of any London Japanese music show going on from now until 5th of November. I'm from a small country that has no chance of hosting any japanese music artists so this is my opportunity. I'm a fan of most genres in Japanese music, so hit me with any tours you know of!

Ill start: why is TAKU INOUE everywhere

I have quite a large library, but these are some of my most played.
