katybdi japanese rock vocalists are aweful... mostly.

Scapegoat69 Japanese are good for everything except for making music.
-
1Dloveyuri Good songs!!!
-
lummia japanese jazz awesome <3
-
lessthanatiger I want to know literally the exact same question as Blaise... but also... anything in the realm of Secret Chiefs 3 or Tin Hat Trio but more oriented with traditional Japanese instruments.
-
Blaise91 Does anybody knows any cool electronic downtempo japanese band, making music like Bonobo?
-
GrandHibou I want to be Japanese and this gets me frustrated so hard I listen to a lot of Japanese music, so I can pretend I'm in Japan. I only pretend to listen to non-Japanese artists so I can look smart like any genuine hipster.

ZkeMoNe Why does The Police have this tag ?? xDD
-
wills316 Guys. Tags =/= Genres. Just because 'Japanese' isn't a genre, doesn't mean it can't be a tag.
-
onlinebeatmaker why do you guys have to hate on j pop so much!
-
Beojiko Well, I guess it's fine if bands have lots of Japanese influences and Japanese lyrics, but what's the point of tagging artists like Sigh with this?
-
Wonrei I don't have any problem with this tag. The problem is the "j-cock" one because it's full-time retarded. Nationality makes sense when you want to find something from a specific country
-
Ustareth Perhaps I want to tag artists as "Japanese" when I want to recommend a list of Japanese artists to someone else instead of looking through multiple lists of genres filled with people of other countries. I know that I'm always looking for good Chinese artists to listen to regardless of what genre of music they make. Nationality tags make it a lot easier if a friend of mine on another forum wants a list of Chinese singers or Japanese singers and I have a list already neatly compiled to link to them. That's why I use it.

dubstepmakers Japanese music is awesome

Entropy_ftw @Madrangue: neither folk noise or jazz are worth listening to, for they do not praise the beast in man. why would you listen to music that makes you weak?

Madrangue I always rant about that. Nice to see other people share this opinion.
-
Beojiko
Why the fuck do we tag everything with Japanese instead of I don't know, maybe the genre of music?
-
Madrangue
@Entropy_ftw: what about folk, noise, jazz or ambient? Many talented artists get overlooked, same as any other country. People listen to and come to like what mass media show them... Just get curious, dig a little, don't be reluctant to try new stuff, and you'll eventually find something you like. Forget Oricon, cause Japanese music isn't only about anime, visual kei and idol pop.

weaboos fucking everywhere [3] if it wasn't for their quirky pseudothrashpunk, the japanese people wouldn't have contributed anything to the world of music.

homfiu lo chistoso de japon es que toda su música es pop y simplona :D y muchos quieren parecer gringos
-

"whom the majority of are dedicated to earning their next buck solely, rather than enjoying what they do."-----> Actually, that sounds exactly like what Japan does, namely AKB48 and their multiple sub-groups.

Plasmaterial Japan is better than America cause they are a hell of a lot dedicated to what they do rather than Americans, whom the majority of are dedicated to earning their next buck solely, rather than enjoying what they do.

DaveyFabulous @ashdinosaur: very definitely my bad for misunderstanding fetishization, though the first link isn't entirely relevant given it's dealing with the typification and simplification of 'one culture for the consumption of another' - if you want to get into whether the japanese exaggerate their image for our benefit, and who is ultimately in the wrong for the enjoyment of the end-product, well that's iffy territory. good stuff though, cheers for the links.

emock27 "ｗｈｙ ｉｓ ｊａｐａｎ ｓｏ ｍｕｃｈ ｂｅｔｔｅｒ ｔｈａｎ ａｍｅｒｉｃａ ？" lol. real japanese ppl don't say this aloud even though they actually think so! btw Ellegarden is one of the most amazing band in my entire life♥

ashdinosaur @DaveyFabulous: It doesn't make you a "bad person" (very vague thing, morality) but it does make you a racist, and while I'm sure it's lovely on your end, it's making people's lives shit on the receiving end.

@ashdinosaur: Ha! Yes, very true. And loving every minute of it. I stopped worrying about fetishizing around about the same time I realised cute girls only talked to me because I was Irish. That probably makes me a bad person... but this music is wonderful.

"ｗｈｙ ｉｓ ｊａｐａｎ ｓｏ ｍｕｃｈ ｂｅｔｔｅｒ ｔｈａｎ ａｍｅｒｉｃａ " Because you're fetishising their culture.
