    and some Morita Douji i guess.

    not sure about GroupSounds, since i only ever actually listend to The Tigers,

    and maybe Elephant Kashimashi, but they're still around right? wouldn't call that much "oldies" too....

    there's a lot more of the 70's/60's bands out there with a sound of the era... still discovering new shit every now and then.

    general sense, non just japanese, i was practically half-metal, half-prog head, and a great deal of 90's rock.

    i dig stuff like Megadeth (which is why i like AKB48, idol music, etc),

    as well as... something as far off as Genesis (my taste for post-rock i guess comes from being exposed this).

    Then there's Smashing Pumpkins. (straightforward rock)

    but for japanese music:

    my holy trinity

    advantage Lucy gave me a taste for poppy "shibuya kei" sounds, (which is why i like capsule, and jazzy/bossa bands)

    Supercar introduced me to electronic(a). (from post-punk to glitch, all from this)

    NUMBER GIRL simply spoke to me on a personal level, musically. (which made me into an 'indie' fag, and helped me appreciate math, jazz, rap, folk, and enka)

    NG being the most influential to me, overall.

    and Mukai Shutoku, a hero of mine. :) *wankwank*

    and from there you can tell what branched out from what. :)

    when i was 15-17 i was obsessed with Gackt too (like everyone else at that time)... but i honestly did not take anything, musically, from him.

    ^cool stuff, yeah i've come across them before i think,

    oh , has quasimode been mentioned yet? a friend recommended them to me, seems like good straightforward jazz in the likes of PE'Z/Soilpimp...

    they have a lot of albums already, any are approachable enough ;)

    ive been reading through the thread, and a lot of nitpicks most have i find to be quirks that i find attractive in most artists/bands. and as much as i love electronic-based music, i have one major gripe that i can never stand

    eurobeat.

    wow, uni-birth is tight stuff... what a letdown that they've only done one album, want more :V

    vocals win.

    thanks for these

    anyone have a hook-up for alma plus? i've got no luck in my searches lol

    edit - its more of a rock sound i guess, but does NATSUMEN count here?

    i really dig those guys, and their live album is def one of my favorite live albums, probably ever.

    ^good call, i'd like to blame it on the post-mukai syndrome.

    which is basically, anyone who has ever worked with mukai, and then left... goes on to pick up rhythm guitar an starts to sing/be a front man.

    i guess ill take a roll on yura yura teikoku

    its just amazing how this band went for almost a decade of the samey "band boom" / motorcycle-fast rock n' roll sound, while very good and very energetic, its generally, 'conventional', very good technique and very retro vibe... and like most bands, as they got older, they hit the tempo down into a more controlled and mature sound... what's amazing to be is how amazingly brilliant their 2007 album is, Hollow Me. while not a sudden shift from their previous work, (album before that had a slightly similar theme, musically), its like, they finally found THAT unique sound that would set them on a higher level, and like most bands, their (arguably) finest work is also their last proper album.... while they didn't go out with a bang, they did leave us parked in a nice hill view from a cadillac. or something :V

    Hey Guys, I was wondering if somebody could suggest a good albums of cali≠gari? I have only heard their 9 School Zone hen single and I enjoyed it except the PPPH song >

    i really suggest giving "Goodbye。" a listen, its their "best hits" album from way back, and gives a good batch of songs they got popular for... other than that, 6th album is good too mainly for the select few tracks (mama ga...etc)

    caligari is a hard band imo to give suggestions for complete albums because frankly the stuff they do/did are somewhat bipolar. also best to check out all their stuff and see what kind of sound from them your really enjoy.

    _______

    edit - i would also like to pimp Tavito Nanao, he's like, weird and brilliant.

    some of my favorites, in a sense that they 'encouraged' me to check out and give the album/single a listen.

    Elixir for acoustics (coated with magic, takes months to lose the crisp tone)

    Ernie extra slinky for Fenders

    as for gauge, i usually go for lights (0.9) i like playing mostly stuff that has a lot of arpeggios and plucking, so it works well to get that really loose sound.

    sup.

    I guess they're major now, now that they have an album under Warner Music Jp.

    any 'fans'? All my 'music friends' hate them, it's understandable. But this is one of the few bands in a long time that really hooked me.
