anything with folk/traditional/wtvryouwanttocallthem instruments in it lol.

I love rap, just *usually* not American rap lol.

My pet peeve: bootsnpantsnbootsnpantsn

The Prodigy – Rok-Weiler

Can't stop listening to the new album, it's so dang good

Oops, mine isn't in my sig anymore, so here it is: http://www.last.fm/user/evilcoc0nut

As long as we're medium, I'll add you back. Faster if you have a big library. ;pp

I listen to a ton of stuff, lean on Japanese, lean away from American.

Finally got around to Durarara, almost done and will probably start the next one.

The Light Fantastic. Need to read the small amount of Terry Pratchett books I haven't read yet.

Have also been reading Gintama and just started Dance in the Vampire Bund.

I voted male, the majority of what I listen to is male dominated, so I guess I prefer it? I don't have anything against female vocals most of the time though, except for in Korean music 90% of the time lol.

Ugh, this is really hard lol.  I'm going to just do top 10 RECENT favorites of mine so that I (probably) won't have to address the to be or not to be vk problem.

1.Vivid

2.DIAURA

3.Girugamesh (ugh they hardly count as VK anymore)

4.ALSDEAD

5.Black Gene For The Next Scene

6.lynch (same with them dammit this isn't working)

7.the Raid

8.AvelCain

9.DIV

10.Vistlip

If I subbed out those two, I'd add: Dezert and DaizyStripper

↑ Ahh yeah, I totally forgot to list Yuuya Matsushita. His last album was really good.

Last few Jpop releases for me have been KAT-TUN's single/ep/wtvr, Sonar Pocket's album, and I have Kuu's, but haven't listened to it yet.

It's weird, I've never really wondered why there wasn't a JPop thread on this forum, but now that it's here, I wonder why we've never had one before lol.

My top Jpop acts are KAT-TUN and Koda Kumi, but I think I listen to quite a bit of it, just maybe not the super ridiculously popular acts that everyone seems to like, i.e. Arashi, Kyari, that AKsmthsmth group. 

Other faves with high listens:

Yamapi

Namie

Lead

Ayu (only like older Ayu though)

KinKi Kids

Capsule

BoA (I guess she counts, she has lots of Japanese releases)

Hitomi

Mika

Tommy

ONE DRAFT

Every Little Thing

Perfume

Lecca

Yulia

FEMM

Chemistry

Sekai no Owari

Dream

Tbh, I probably listen to more Cpop artists, but I have more favorites in Jpop, if that makes sense.

I haven't listened to Onmyouza in AGES.

I call this the everything in foreign script shuffle lol. It was also pretty boring, except for the JKS song, which gets my vote. Microwave song is also pretty cool.

In before people post Camera Obscura by Lycaon as their favorite album, EP and single of this month

Not me, lmao.

I like this concept though, for the record.

On one hand, there were a lot of February releases that I listened to, on the other, quite a few of them did not live up to my expectations, like One Ok Rock and sort of BBS, definitely ABC.  Leaving me with one nostalgic band and a lot of good pop.  The DAI album is basically what I've been hoping for since they got back together. Really hit it out of the park this time, imo.

Shinhwa - WE

• 얼음달

Do As Infinity - Brand New Days

• Rapunzel

김현중 - 今でも

• Cappuccino

Capsule's Wave Runner gets an honorable mention, but since I didn't "love" any songs from it, I had nothing to put for my favorite track lol. It was a very solid album however.  Conversely, I was a little underwhelmed by BBS's Shine Like A Billion Suns, but I loved the track Back In Black.

And yay I could only find one of my songs on YT, lol.

I think Engrish is kind of luck the uncanny valley for me. It's fine if it is so bad I can barely recognize it as English, and it's fine if it is clear and understandable, but that middle ground where it sounds like they are trying so hard and failing miserably is the part that drives me nuts.

Yes, that.

Nonsensical random Engrish is funny, but a whole song of it is just annoying.  And in that vein, I don't much care for all English songs period, even if it is good.

RAU DEF – DOGGG RACE

Hmmm, I don't really have a playlist or keep a library in my music player.  But in my music folder  on my hard drive, the band folders are usually always romanized so it can all be in alphabetical order, I'm kinda OCD about that.   Plus I have a bunch of other languages besides Japanese so that would get confusing real quick lol.  The actual bands and songs though are always in the original language and appear that way in my Winamp when I load my whole library, for example.  I don't really have a problem recognizing kanji or kana. 

heard about this yesterday, stilll poop

I was actually an Eagles fan as a kid, uh, slightly before the McNabb era lol.

Maybe I'm the only sportsball fan here, who knows, but just case anyone else is dying to talk about sports here.  To start, what sports do y'all like?  Favorite teams?  Sometimes it's great to talk sports outside of diehard sports boards.

Mine are:

NFL

Seattle Seahawks

Baltimore Ravens

MLB

San Francisco Giants

Baltimore Orioles

NBA

Golden State Warriors

Indiana Pacers

I'm kinda OCD so I have a favorite in each conference/league whatever lol.  Been a fan of all for a long time, except for the Warriors, because I was a fan of the Sonics before they went bye bye, but then picked up the Warriors to follow Steph Curry.

The Milo – Daun dan Ranting Menuju Surga

Some months this would be hard, but the following are really the only albums I had any strong feelings for.  Of the three, i'd talk up Knock Out Monkey the most. They've really come a long way to me since the first thing I heard, which was Skank Up I think. Anyone in to say, bands like One Ok Rock should check them out lol.

As for the others, I love the crap out of SEKAI NO OWARI because their stuff sounds like playing old RPGs and KANA-BOON is just solid indie, alt rock whatever you want to call it like, NICO, Galileo Galilei, Czecho, et al there's a million of them so.

• Death Disco

• How long?

• A.oh!!

Boom Boom Satellites – Emergence

Don't listen to any of those artists tbh.
