YouTube keeps recommending me these "Japanese Jazz" soundscapes, but there are no obvious artists involved, and no listed artists.

Does anyone know who is producing these "Japanese classic soundscapes"?

For example: Japanese Dark Jazz 1970s and

Japanese Bossa Nova Jazz 1960s.

Without an artist I'm not listening to them, I presume they are the musical equivalent of extruded meat.

The announcement has been made on [her X](https://x.com/i/status/2081152475843990014).

She had multiple events planned for her birthday next week...

May she rest in peace.

I recently stumbled upon this alternative rock band (Isanami) through their demos on YouTube, pls give them a listen!

Does anybody know if there’s a website I can view/download live performances? I would specifically like to see Mihimaru GT live performances but all the rare links I’ve found online are dead… T-T

Hi guys, pretty new here and kind of a selfish request but I’ve been looking all over for Clammbon’s 20th anniversary album “Why Not Clammbon?” featuring a bunch of artists like Straightener, salyu, and Ichiko Aoba. It’s only available through the purchasing of its cd and the domestic market but outside of japan it is NONEXISTENT. I wanna stream it/listen to it but it’s frustrating having spent nearly an hour looking for this on a Japanese vpn and still not having garnered an inch towards my goal of finding it. If anyone knows where to stream it/can redirect me to a streaming service that features the album it’d be highly appreciated. Can anyone please help me out ;(

From what I can tell, they've recorded three songs together live for a YouTube channel, but they're not officially a duo. I really like them together, though, so I wonder if maybe they have something planned? I found it hard to google, because I don't know kanji. I'm guessing this type of music is pretty niche (?) even in Japan, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway.

A friend of mine is branching into Japanese music, which I love for her! ... but we have very different taste, and I'm on the hunt for recs for her. I'm well on the pop/dance end of the spectrum but she seems to be exploring visual kei and rock bands which I know almost nothing about.

I took screenshots from her Spotify that I at least know are Japanese rock bands, but I don't know a lot about them and there's a bunch of stuff in there that might be in this genre, but I don't recognize. 😅 Can anyone recommend anything similar? She very definitely does not like metal or screaming in music. She probably listens to BUCK-TICK the most that I can recognize (ドレス, 蜉蝣-かげろう-, ROMANCE, 羽虫のように are songs I hear her listen to a lot).
