The Good From J

I listen all type of music basically, and like any different type of genre and all.
There are some few genre that I really like and they appear so unique for me. I wanted to line up my favorite Japanese bands in this post. Some of them are really talented, I promise you.

first, Toe. people would think I love Toe because their pretty guitar melodic, and yes that's also true but the main part is I love their drum note. They have this ghostly and dreamy and such great drum beat. For instance, this one metronome song, I like it's pretty melody intro, but when the drum fill in, it killed.

this one is my favorite too



They're also amazing at live performance.
Second, Kenichi Fumoto, a singer songwriter. I first listen to his song, バリケード(Barricade) and like it right away.



It was hideously dificult to find his full album, but lucky for me, I found his first shoegaze album, called 美化 (Bika). This one is my favorite, titled 17 in english



And next, I have Shugo Tokumaru, a singer songwriter too. His folk and experimental music had this bright and calm and sometimes spectacular ambients, I can relate to his songs, when I'm happy. This one take away video is my most favorite.
I once learn how to play it (and failed) with little ability of japanese languange, this one is airy and pretty.


I prefer to watch his live videos, he's kind of amazing.



There are one or two more japanese musicians and band that I like such as, Depapepe, Four Get Me Notes and World Order. In fact, I never intended to explore any genre or any music from particular country, and just accidentally hear it somewhere and happened to like them. Music itself can never be shelved by categories. I like them all. Let me know if you have any recommendation or different favorites or else. I'd love to hear.
