Post-Britpop in Japan

[kurenaishineek 646]

Im lately trying to add at least 2 or 3 bands of every genre i read about to my collection and this is the first time im stuck in my search so i thought ill go and ask around here , so yeah , do you guys know any Post-Britpop bands in Japan ? I seem to be able to find such band in other far asian countries music that ive listen to like Philippines and Korean and others , but Japan not , they seem to have all the other genres even those that are already dead so i cant belive they would not have any Post-Britpop bands especially when UK music influences are so popular with japanese bands .

BTW im looking for Britpop as well . But that can be found in older L'arc en Ciel songs . So its not that much needed , but i would love to hear some more anytime .

Can you post some youtube examples of what you consider to be post-Britpop?

[kurenaishineek 646]

What i consider ? Man that was harsh , you think i dont know the genres when i talk about them so much ?

I think this will give you some overall idea what im looking for , as said post-britpop , but britpop is also what im looking for .

And here is some asian band that plays Post-Britpop .

lol, plastic tree?

 

 

 

jinkaku radio first album and preceding singles

http://youtu.be/5NAoOoBYGMQ

 

their next two albums are a mess and should be skipped tho

 

the studs had a consistent britpop-ish sound:

 

 

 

 

schmelz cure had this one-time perfect (radiohead could never) debut single - 

 

 

but it's not representative of their direction

 

I don't think recent vk bands are fond of this sound, and I don't follow non-visual japanese music, unless it's smh related with past vk bands (see this for example)

OH and since you've mentioned coldplay

Are you making fun of me ? Jinkaku Radio is as far from post-britpop as britney spears from death metal , plastic tree play alternative rock and experiment with shoegaze a lot . The studs and Schmelz Cure , no comment .

Well at least with plastic tree you where closer if you would post some of their lighter songs . Visual Kei bands where a bad choice to post , the older ones liked to experiment more with genres and had some distinct 80's sound like lastier , new ones tend to either mix alternative metal with metalcore and play it heavy or play a mixture of pop rock and alternative rock that is rather far away from what im looking for .

Here is an example of some japanese britpop

Well, this one should be obvious at least, although it fits in more w/ this whole garage rock-revival thing The Strokes also belong to:

 

 

And then there's these Beatles-sounding dudes right here, too

 

 

Also The Mirraz' old stuff pretty much sounded exactly like Arctic Monkeys. Don't know how much you consider them to be britpop, but since every britaboo jerks off to AM I suppose it should count

 

[kurenaishineek 646]

Arctic Monkeys where more of a post punk revival band with psychodelic and indie rock influences . But The Bohemians and The Cigavettes are a good pick cause both play Britpop , but im still looking for post-britpop .

Are you making fun of me ? Jinkaku Radio is as far from post-britpop as britney spears from death metal 

 

ty, I'm aware that jinkaku radio is proportionally better than post-britpop same way as Godney is superior to deathmetal.

 

have you specifically asked at post-britpop forums about this? they might give you some better insight.

[Tokage 5930]

There's no japanese post-britpop because the japanese collectively realize the genre is shit lel

 

(also why does every genre need a post-form nowadays? Subgenres are getting fucking ridiculous, soon we'll have post-witch house or some crap like that)

[Ikna 1225]

I am pretty sure post-witch house already exists. There are a few people who use it, since according to them original witch house died out in 2009 or 2010. I have the feeling this whole post- thing started with post-punk in the 80s (or better 90s, since before then everything was just crammed under either punk or "Wave")

[Pretsy 1343]

Why bother with such new post-2006 popular genre if you already acknowledge the fact that Japan is always behind music trend-wise?

[kurenaishineek 646]

Seriously cause the post part is important cause they are two different genres , did you ever compare any britpop to post britpop? probably not thats cause you do your shittalk like all the trolls , if you dont know anything bout genres and dont have any thing helpful top say than shut up . of course you want do this , cause this is another topic you can spam and up your post counter to show how awesome you are .

But you are that bunch of troll kids who find it amusing to just go to youtube open a song of an artist they hate and spam with flame .

BTW @ Tokage , yeah see if you would not get here to shit talk but with some brain you would be more useful , i found one band myself , they are called weaver and play post-britpop and piano rock .

Sorry i forgot the general forum part on this forum is dominated with troll kid answers with shit talk and unreleated crap .

Lets close this topic before it turns into spam flame war , it seems asking on this forum for any music related help is like saying "Hey troll come and get me" .
