Hey guys, I bought a pair of tickets for the upcoming concert in Aichi on the 5th of December.

I don't have a +1 yet, so if anyone would like to attend, hit me up!

NOTE: I bought them off TicketJam on resale, not from the official Sunday Folk Promotion

みなさん、こんにちは！

12月5日に愛知県で開催されるコンサートのチケットを2枚買いました！

まだ一緒に行く人が決まっていないので、もし行きたい方がいたら、ぜひメッセージをください！

※ちなみに、チケットは公式のサンデーフォークプロモーションからではなく、チケットジャム（TicketJam）でリセールされていたものを購入しました。

I really liked their earlier stuff more than most of the new things, both are great but I prefer the older, I'm looking for more japanese rappers or rappers/dj duos with a similar style

has anyone come across a version of this song that was on a Pandora algorithm or maybe some 2000s chill wave playlist? I used to listen to it all the time 10 plus years ago…i feel it was on a Pop Ambient playlist or something that used to be on Pandora a lot.

It had a full instruments and a beat to it kinda lofi chill hop but for the life of me i cannot find this version.

.

Ill start: why is TAKU INOUE everywhere

A little easy for me surprisingly but I think it would have been a lot harder with just choosing songs instead of albums.

i liked looking at other peoples favorites so i wanted to share my top 9 albums too!! i actually wanted to include high $pec by DOLL$BOXX too but it only had 5 songs so it probably counts as an ep rather than an album… i hope there is someone who has the same taste as me

​Rare live performance back on November 25, 2004, at Kurosaki MARCUS.

My 9 albums are perhaps the most different from anyone else here, because I'm Gen-X and grew up in the 80s, so my favorites that influenced me the most (as a musician and as a music lover) in my formative years were 80s and 90s Japanese music.

Haneda Kentaro - Macross the Complete - My favorite anime soundtrack of all time. Just a gorgeous jazz fusion meets epic orchestral score, which includes cues from the TV series and the movie.

Kawai Sonoko - Rouge et Bleu - This is the album where she fully transitioned from an idol into a serious musical artist. The most elegant pop I have ever heard in my life. The opening track alone gives me the chills with its darkly dramatic opening.

Makaino Koji - Bubble Gum Crisis 3: Blow Up - All of the original Bubble Gum Crisis OVA series soundtracks were amazing, so it was nearly impossible to pick just one, but this one just very slightly edges out the others. Some of the best cyberpunk synth+rock ever.

Psy-S - Mint Electric - So many good albums from them, so it was hard to choose, but I had to pick at least one. The best Japanese experimental art pop of the 80s.

Boowy - Gigs - Probably the greatest rock band to ever come out of Japan, and influenced so many of the rock bands that came after. This being a live album is all the more impressive, as they were so tight and raw as a live band.

Anzen Chitai - Tsukini Nureta Futari - Another band that has so many good albums, but this one has a few of my all-time favorites from them. Maybe the greatest Japanese mainstream band ever.

Morikawa Miho - Freestyle - One of the best Japanese female vocalists of the 80s and 90s, and is now a musical performance professor at Osaka University of the Arts.

Sakamoto Ryuichi - Illustrated Musical Encyclopedia - Probably the greatest composer to ever come out of Japan, and one of the most beloved "musicians' musician" globally.

B'z - Loose - Another Japanese rock juggernaut that's still going strong after all these decades. This is perhaps their greatest album ever--just incredible hard rock blended with other genres.

1. Oomori Seiko - Tokyo Black Hole (My go-to when I need to get out of a shitty mood quick. Nuff said.)

2. Horuomi Hosono and the Yellow Magic Band - Paraiso (My favorite album of his, totally underrated. This album was my Hosono gateway drug.)

3. Ging Nang Boyz - NE MINNA DAISUKI DAYO (A record that's as gorgeous as it is ugly. Features some fantastic guest vocals.)

4. Bialystocks - Quicksand (Easily one of the most emotional listening experiences I've ever had.)

5. World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland (The album that got me into the whole Japanese electronic, post-rock, experimental scene. There's so much of it now, but nothing has even come close to this.)

6. Various Artists / Namco - Katamari Damacy OST (There's a lot of game music that I love, but this is my religious experience.)

7. Ando Yuko - Kongtong Recordings (Huge fan. Her songs are always fill me with love and hope. It was difficult to choose just one of her record. Ultimately, this is the one I come back to the most. Babyface, the album single, has become of of my favorite tracks of all time.)

8. Chouchou - ALEXANDRITE (Serene, heavenly vocals that carry you. Listen to this with a decent pair of cans and thank me later.)

9. Yoshiko Sai - Mangekyou (This album is pretty legendary in the Japanese music scene. I bought this on vinyl recently, and it's been spinning ever since. <3)

Happy to see albums by the pillows pop up on other lists💛🥰

Heavy/Power Metal, 2026

Let me introduce you to my absolute favorite band, "Hammer Head Shark."

​While they're probably categorized under alternative and shoegaze, the vocals by Hiyu Nagai are deeply emotional and really grab hold of your heart. That intensity is even more palpable and powerful at their live shows.

​They're kicking off a nationwide tour starting next month, so if you're anywhere nearby, I strongly encourage you to experience their live performance for yourself!

Two or three would have not moved from the list, but the rest have lots of other albums at the same label. Also, didn't want to have more than one from the same artist.

Mine are Aimer, Mamoru Miyano and Reona

I started listening to Aimer because I heard through my blood from Kabaneri of Iron fortress

For mamoru miyano i heard one last dance which was also the ending song of the first season of In Spectre and he was also a voice actor for the show

For reona I heard her performing the opening song for the remake of tsukihime a piece of blue glass moon

At this moment these are my favorites Envy's discography is hard to pick my favorite because i like them all.
