~J-URBAN THREAD~ So WTF is "J-urban music"? J-urban is basically an umbrella term for Japanese r'n'b, hip hop, soul, reggae, rap and related genres. And as most already realized already, we never really managed to think of a thread that would cover this separate "scene" or "department" of the J-music - not to mention that I can already see a few users who would be really glad to contribute at least a bit - or get familiar with a vast variety of major AND even indie urban artists. The idea of this thread is contributing-wise free-for-all as with those J-pop/J-indie threads - but make sure to post commentaries as well rather than spam one hell of a crazy series of YT embeds (I'd really recommend to spoiler such links while posting, mmkay?) So let's "get on" Examples: Anything related to Exile and their umbrella groups in the "softer" department: m-flo (before they went EDM) May J Ken Hirai (kinda?) MISIA And so on Feel free to contribute/talk about your current and new favs! You know the drill already so go go go!

Tie-ins were quite often, albeit partially discussed in almost every news/general thread - be it VK or not. As such, some might have associated vairous news about "artist X doing a song Y as a tie-in" with "pre-emptive mediocrity" (i.e. they "know" beforehand that it's gonna "suck hard"). This leaves us to ponder : how do you guys relate to this "tie-in phenomenon"? Do tie-ins matter a lot in your favorite artists' repertoire? Many listeners wouldn't really care about this. However, specific episodes in MH history such as Gazette's SHIVER being extremely crapped upon due to its (obvious) tie-in status (or MUCC) gave me enough confidence to assume that at least SOME do care after all, lol.
