jiji94 78 Posted December 7, 2017 There's a J-indie thread? Shiz, I need to look through and see which bands I've been listening to haven't been posted. I swear to god, I've been sucked harder into the J-indie vortex than I was with visual kei bands.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegirlavoidingmariacross 10 Posted January 15, 2018 I'm so glad this thread exists. T^T I can pillage it for new bands to listen to~~~ As for me, well, my favs are: MONDO GROSSO Wednesday Campanella the Pillows Number Girl Asian Kung-Fu Generation frederic vivid undress Ichiko Aoba Kenshi Yonezu Age Factory indigo la End Nissy KankakuPiero Ling Tosite Sigure aimer ircle Gesu no Kiwami Otome Lyu;lyu (And if we're talking rap, pretty much anyone off Low High Who. Daoko, GOMESS, Jinmenusagi (early works). I was also introduced to KOHH through a beautiful Utada song last year, and like his stuff pretty well too.)

whitegrey 115 Posted August 29, 2020 random *this thread must not die!* push... shoebills... slow build up with post rock finish, nice keyboard presence and male vocals fitting the music... nothing groundbreaking but I can dig it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enyx 903 Posted September 13, 2020 I don't see this band being mentioned all that much, but they're pretty great if you're into Japanese math à la toe or LITE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitegrey 115 Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) onomatopel ... a small alt-pop duo I just stumbled upon; with a really cute piece this time. sounds a lot like classic shibuya-kei with some pico-pop added to the mix. It's pure sugar but I like it. Edited September 16, 2020 by whitegrey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrumpingChihuahua 108 Posted September 16, 2020 Adding the indie stuff i listen too I think joppin:cal might be known, with Wajow from the Gallo and Ryo coming from the Visual Kei Scene too. They added a new drummer MaNa. Reptile Anti Hero Superstar and i think Aya belongs to be indie thread too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitegrey 115 Posted September 22, 2020 newest one by edawakare. They've released their 2nd EP in june, seems like I missed it back then... first half is pretty slow but picks up later and is totally worth the wait. A really really nice track totally down my lane!

Tokage 5930 Posted November 26, 2020 Some recent discoveries: NEMU These guys seem to draw from a whole bunch of different sounds. There's elements of post-hardcore here, but also a bit of a post-punk tinge, as well as occasional elements that seem more in line with dream pop/shoegaze. Cool stuff that unfortunately seems to be flying under the radar - deserves to be known IMO. Spoiler ユウレカ Another band serving up an interesting blend of genres. Their music contains elements of 90s post-hardcore/math rock/nu-metal. If I had to describe this to someone elevator pitch style I'd say "Imagine a 90s alt-metal take on downy". I dig it. Spoiler STRAM @Jigsaw9actually alerted me to this band's existence. A bunch of their songs very strongly remind me of what I imagine Lillies and Remains would sound like if they had a bit more crunch to them. Recommended for those who like their music gloomy Spoiler Ailiph Doepa Basically fits that niche of bands like Maximum the Hormone / System of a Down and such. Weird and quirky mish-mash of alt-metal with a bunch of other stuff. Still not entirely on board with this myself musically but I'm a big fan of this PV because it's fucking goofy.

enyx 903 Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) New downy track out of nowhere called「17月」 From what I can gather the guitars in this are samples from some recordings Yutaka Aoki did, and mergrim was also involved to some degree with SUNNOVA producing.
