formal hello?

[Erin 19]

hi! i was told it'd be best if i just made a re-introduction after being on and off for so long so. yeah

 

i'm Erin. i used to be active on this forum like four years ago but i really don't wanna remember that because i was beyond salvation back then. i also had a shit music tasted. i liked SuG unironically?? god?? i remember liking lycaon and regretting at some point

 

anyway. nowadays i listen to more japanese music in general. i'm a generic shibuya kei stan, but i tend to listen to most of everything! i'm trying to be more knowledgeable of more indie acts lately, and i'm always hunting for recs because i am awful at using jpopsuki or last.fm. or stalking people's libraries. i'll probably be leeching off a lot of recs here

 

i also have this tumblr music blog where i reblog and ocasionally post things i enjoy? give it a try if you have free time

 

i hope i get along with everyone again

Yo, I have looked your tumblr, your music taste is so cool!

 

welcome again then

[CAT5 9075]

Nice to meet you formally, haha. Welcome, officially!

 

I already follow you on tumblr already. What are some of your fav. bands?

[Erin 19]

MAN CAT THAT IS SUCH A !!! QUESTION

 

because i don't know how to choose favorites, i'm too all over the place

 

i'll probably always be a Ringo/Jihen and Yoshie/Ego-wrappin' stan. i'm liking oomori, passepied and karasu wa masshiro a lot lately. same for shiggy jr, she made me want to look up some nu disco acts (but i never found anything worth). also really into lamp and gesu, the new kawatani band... i've always liked etsuko yakushimaru and wakusei abnormal??? I DON'T KNOW this is hard

Welcome back to MH! I also run a bit of a j-music blog. Though, it's more rock/alternative based where as your tastes sound like they lean more towards the indie side. But anything I could recommend is covered in there.

Heyo, I remember you! I feel like I enjoyed your music taste back then and clearly, you've still got it

Since you mentioned Lamp (I love you), here are some associated acts you might enjoy if you don't know them:
Tadashi Shinkawa - On Lamp's Botanical House label. A similar "softness" to Lamp's music, but is distinguished with the use of subtle 80s synths.
Minami Kitasono - I can't remember which, but did the arrangement and guest vocals for one of Lamp's tracks on their Yume album. Imagine him as the much quirkier version of Lamp's funkier compositions.
Uwanosora'67 - Super influenced by 60s pop. The band revealed that Lamp member Nagai praised this track in a recent interview.

It's been a while Erin, hi!

Speaking of "nu disco"/something along the lines of artists/genres you pointed out, did you mean something in the vein of this? (open the spoiler)

A bit poppier?

Seeing as you mentioned Ringo/Oomori, I thought this kind of vocal/arrangement experimentation might be up your alley? (I bet you know her already tho)

A bit more atmospheric/ambient Passepied-y act (heavily Cardigans-influenced, in case you are into them)

Seeing as you are one heck of a Shibuya kei enthusiast like I am, you might enjoy these newbies (Very Cymbals-y/Capsule-y)

...speaking of which, are you familiar with Buffalo Daughter or Cymbals?

[Original Saku 1593]
