Havey: Music Of Japan | Sputnikmusic

Havey 09.29.12	Alphabetical order (sort of, last 5 were just thrown in)
Oneironaut 09.29.12	This list is massive! Any personal favorites on where to start? Would like to get into some Japanese artists. I like anything melodic/guitar driven, if that helps with a rec. I've heard all the really popular ones, like Mono, Nujabes, Uyama Hiroto, Toe
Trebor17 09.29.12	kyary pamyu pamyu - pamyu pamyu revolution Utada Hikaru - Ultra Blue
Havey 09.29.12	@Oneironaut What genres are you looking for, in particular? Lots of these are very avant-garde, noisy and just not very easy on the ears, not sure how far your tastes stretch. But as for melodic, 35 and 74 are both melodic death metal (if that's your thing). 41, 91 and 93 are all musts if you're into post-rock.
VlacDrac 09.29.12	Masaru Imada it's a great piano player
Calc 09.29.12	I like ambitious lists like these very well done
RunOfTheMill 09.29.12	Very nice, I'll have to check some of these out when I get the chance. I love 92, but I could never get into 23... The melodies were weird, and I hated the vocals, which is sad because I really wanted to like it.
MichaelSnoxall 09.29.12	Shit, I probably know some but I forget the bands right now.
Vespiion 09.29.12	This is really impressive. I'll be sure to check some of these out.
YankeeDudel 09.29.12	immense list. would be a little better with genre tags but good shit. will check
Calc 09.29.12	list needs the pillows though
liledman 09.29.12	Very nice. I would have gone a little further into the EAI realm with Taku Sugimoto, Tetuzi Akiyama, Sachiko M etc but you included a bunch of good shit anyway.
menawati 09.29.12	only know a few of these but looks really useful, shouldnt things like this be featured ?
MichaelSnoxall 09.29.12	"only know a few of these but looks really useful, shouldnt things like this be featured ?" Well, you have to wait for a staff member to see it and decide to feature it. They just don't get featured right away through some kind of filtering system.
menawati 09.29.12	ah ok, just looked like the sort of thing that i would expect to see up there thats all, as its so helpful ;)
Havey 09.29.12	@YankeeDudel Yeah I'll probably include genre tags in my future lists. I could still give you some directions though, if there's any genre in particular that you're looking for? @liledman Actually left out some Onkyo/EIA stuff simply because they weren't in the database and I couldn't be arsed to add more than I had already added just for this list.
menawati 09.29.12	damn, edit or republish this with a short genre description for each one ? wanna check out but need some guidelines
YankeeDudel 09.29.12	I mean I like Acid Mothers Temple, Boris, World End Girlfriend, Yasushi Yoshido, Toe, Taj Mahal Travelers, Sigh, Nujabes, Mutyumu, Mono, Melt Banana, Mouse on the Keys, Kashiwa Daisuke, Intestine Baalism, LITE, Flower Travelin Band, Envy, Corrupted, Boredoms, and Uyama Hiroto but havent heard the others. Im not much of a noise fan so stuff like merzbow and gerogeri arent my thing. I just checked Angel'in Heavy Syrup and and Bondage Fruit though and they ruled.
YankeeDudel 09.29.12	Actually Im listening to Tokyo Anal Dynamite now and its pretty good in some fucked sort of way ha
Havey 09.29.12	@menawati Haven't got time for that at the moment, unfortunately. What are you looking for in terms of style/genre? @Yankee Try 53!
menawati 09.29.12	havey im open to quite a lot of genres just a bit of help in prioritising what to look at, but nvm ill save the link and plow thro later
LloydNewgreen 09.29.12	Maximum The Hormone!
Havey 09.29.12	@Yankee If you're ever trying to get into noise, try not to look at it as being music, but rather an abstract, absurd form of art. You might see it differently.
mindleviticus 09.30.12	Oh wow so much good stuff here :]
wabbit 09.30.12	who's alt is this?
Havey 09.30.12	I'm Hawks why
thejon93rd 09.30.12	One of the best lists I've seen on here. This is amazing stuff. Good work and taste in music.
Adabelle 09.30.12	Sweet stuff Hawks dude, interested in checking some of these out. You might like: Transgressor (dm) 1000 Travels of Jawaharlal (screamo) Heaven In Her Arms (screamo)
Havey 09.30.12	@Adabelle I haven't heard of Transgressor, I'll check them out thanks Baseline all countries are shit but Japan is still at the top agreed
SaneTBP 09.30.12	Woah great list! I've heard like just a bit over 20 of these, gonna check the most interesting ones :P
Leatherneck 09.30.12	does anyone know of a band similar to toe?
SaneTBP 09.30.12	Dunno I was going to rec Program Music I but I saw it at ur 5s, daymn. List needs to get featured
Havey 09.30.12	@Leatherneck 58, 37 and 49 are all mathy, rhythmically driven post-rock. Should suit your needs fine.
menawati 09.30.12	"shit country" no tisnt
BlueW 09.30.12	great list, angel'in < 3
Havey 09.30.12	Wrong IV artwork for whatever reason but angel'in < 3 [2]
Havey 09.30.12	nah she's right menawati, all music is shit
thejon93rd 09.30.12	92 is incredible.

Hyperion1001 09.30.12	necrophile transgressor coffins anatomia corrupted church of misery GISM multiplex
Hyperion1001 09.30.12	intestine baalism
LarryArms 09.30.12	hyper go fuck yourself
Havey 09.30.12	@hype Corrupted, GISM and baalism are already on the list and I'm not a very big fan of Church of Misery but checking out the rest though
ITsHxCTOASTER 09.30.12	I've heard of a few of these, need to check a bunch of them out. Awesome list
discovolante 10.06.12	Cali Gari, Boredoms, Diru, Malice Mizer, Melt Banana, OYA, Schwarz Stein, Spitz, Gero & YMO are phenomenal. Great list, dude.
Havey 10.07.12	Thx man, let me know what you think of em
CaptWaffles 11.27.12	Awesome list, need to check most of these out. Have you listened to kuruucrew or nisennenmondai? If not I think you'd dig them.
Havey 11.27.12	Thanks for the recs man, not familiar with either of those, will have to look into em.

Cygnatti 11.27.12	didn't realize Bisk was japanese. list is full of cool beans
WashboardSuds 11.27.12	Havey why do people overlook good music? will it go away someday? :[
peaks40 11.27.12	60 rules, you're avatar hypnotizes me Havey
WashboardSuds 11.27.12	60 does indeed rule
Havey 11.27.12	Lots of good music is always gonna get overlooked, however I don't really care as long as the good stuff gets to me one way or another I'll continue to try my best to spread the goodies, though
Havey 11.27.12	and peaks, you're not alone
peaks40 11.27.12	i dislike competition a lot
Havey 11.27.12	sorry but you'll have to get in line
peaks40 11.28.12	pshhh, as if there's rules in life. I'LL TAKE WHAT I WANT! lol p.s. still waiting

Lakes 12.12.12	check out the light of the spirit or millennia
Havey 12.12.12	got it indie progie princessie lakie
Lakes 12.12.12	hehe
Celsius 12.12.12	Silk Road II
toxin. 12.12.12	is there anything with very distinct vox Need to listen to some Japanese music for Japanese practice
Havey 12.12.12	what's silk road
toxin. 12.12.12	distinct vox? like easily listenable lyrics? maybe something slower-paced that obviously doesn't suck?
Havey 12.12.12	comment was directed @ celsius as for audible lyrics, idk most of these are without vocals, and the rest are still very experimental and weird (you know japan) but I guess i'd go for the pop ones like Shiina, Quruli or Spitz
Celsius 12.12.12	Oh, it's by Kitaro
DatsNotDaMetulz 12.12.12	No love for Crossfaith?
Hep Kat 12.12.12	anyone else heard that d-clone?
Hep Kat 12.12.12	besides fade and bulldog
Havey 12.12.12	@celsius would you say it's better than those albums rec'd by lakes? lol crossfaith what is a d-clone
Celsius 12.12.12	No, but it's a nice album that everyone should have
toxin. 12.12.12	alright Havey, that's it. Gonna download Shiina's discog and listen to it all in India. It's settled.
Havey 12.12.12	k probably should get it then but it's at low priority right now
Havey 12.12.12	good thinkin tox, sounds like you're going to have some serious fun
Idnuf 12.24.12	definitely some cool stuff here. kengo iuchi is great. some good jap hardcore you might want to check out: ikka shinjyuu - kurbitsuri (my fav jap hardcore behind detestation), and slow down (their most popular, personally meh) various artists - great punk hits bastard - wind of pain (v american sounding) the gaia - 777 the stalin - trash
Havey 12.24.12	Def interested in some more jap hardcore, thanks. Have you heard 100?
FictionalFlames 12.24.12	Needs more Galneryus
Havey 12.24.12	don't dig power metal
Lakes 12.24.12	don't dig you
Havey 12.24.12	Liar. I kno you do
Havey 12.24.12	shit country
Idnuf 12.25.12	"Have you heard 100?" yeah it's p good, i prefer jerusalem a little bit tbh but that's just me btw you should also check out gai - extermination and for noisier shit you should look into tranquilizer and z - violence action also i see you have fushuu on the list, and you probably have, but if you haven't you should listen to zannin seija by gudon. it's ridiculously raw
Havey 12.25.12	remember checking out violence action a while back, intense shit and yeah zannin seija is great, i like it almost equally to fushuu actually dl'ed kurbitsuri and loved it, a perfect fit for my taste (or lack there-of), thanks for the rec bro. haven't gotten to the rest of your lil list yet but i'll make sure to do so once i've got some time never actually listened to tranquilizer which is weird seeing as they're one of the biggest noisecore acts from jap but w/e i take it you've heard 95 too? are you familiar with Kuro?
Idnuf 12.26.12	yeah the final agony is one of my favorites when played at deafeningly loud volumes im familiar with kuro, i've only heard who the helpless. it's good but im not in love, occupying the same space in my mind as ghoul, vivisick and nightmare. glad to hear you like kurbitsuri. the vocals in the first track get me every time you should prob listen to the va comp next, to spark your interest i'll say it has gism on it
andcas 12.26.12	why does 3 have cypress hill's artwork?
Havey 12.26.12	^real artwork is so much better! :C haha sweet, gism has me intrigued. yeah the vocals in kurbitsuri were definitely a highlight, so good
Vrid 01.05.13	Helvete, det här var en riktigt bra lista.
DixieNormous 01.05.13	"Gotta love the japs." No I dont.
Havey 01.11.13	How unfortunate for you. You must have some kind of xenophobia that has as yet gone undiagnosed.
ViperAces 01.11.13	im in love with your profile pic
GiaNXGX 01.11.13	What an idiot. Lol xenophobic americans.
Black Ink 01.11.13	No Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra? That makes me a Sad panda. :(
Havey 01.11.13	not the biggest ska listener but i'll check it out if it means making you a happy panda @viper get in line, cowboy
JamieTwort 01.11.13	List needs Far East Family Band. Great list though.
dawija1017 01.11.13	You'd be doing them more justice if you narrowed the list down significantly...throwing 100 artists in a list is too cumbersome for the average joe's patience
SputnikSweetheart 01.11.13	Check out the band Te'; if you liked Toe I'm sure you'll like them too. Awesome list btw!!
JamieTwort 01.11.13	also Shinki Chen.
omnipanzer 01.11.13	Neil Young - Harvest Man is a Japanese legend.
ilovetree 02.15.13	You might dig Geinoh Yamashirogumi's 'Osorezan Dou No Kenbai'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMq0N3rADpU
Aids 02.15.13	Shugo Tokumaru Kishi Bashi oh, this is months old. Still: Shugo Tokumaru and Kishi Bashi
Havey 02.15.13	old list or not, still appreciating fresh recs :] thx everyone
ilovetree 02.15.13	Can you recommend me anything off of this in particular? I already know all the obvious stuff (mouse on the keys, toe, sigure, shiina ringo, jizue, kashiwa, weg, mono etc.). Just listened to Keiji Haino's Son Of Nihilism, found it quite interesting and thus started downloading C'est parfait right after I saw your rating. Also got me Jun Togawa because the album art is #swag. Anything else?
Havey 02.15.13	definitely check Fushitsusha (psychedelic noise rock with Keiji Haino), if you dig his solo stuff that is. You might dig 53 (post-hardcore) and 6 (experimental electronic, glitch, idm) too
GiaNXGX 02.15.13	takemitsu also rules, his soundtracks are omg - awesome. If you dig Haino's noisy stuff also get Hijokaidan and 静香
ilovetree 02.15.13	Can't find a dl for strange or funny :(, got the rest though. Thanks mate.
Havey 02.15.13	want me to hook you up with a dl?
