Recommend J-Pop

There are a LOT of videos here. There will be a huge range in the types of song here not necessarily just jpop but other types of japanese songs as well. I'm confident that you'll find at least 1 song here that you'll like :3 Notedly, for 2 or 3 of these videos I couldn't find any good quality versions that weren't part of AMVs for something. But for the most part I tried to find the official music video. If you don't feel like watching the video, just toss on the song while you browse de interwebz.

Vampire Dearly by Janne da Arc:
(Oh, so this is the only video that I could find that didn't have a crappy sounding version of this song. It also happens to be clips of a PC game I liked to play.)

Shoujo Meiro de Tsukamaete by Aki Misato
AKA the opening theme to one of the better known yuri (and sfw) anime out there, Strawberry Panic. It's a rather nice song... I knew about the song before the anime.

Mirai no Eve by Ali Project

Gesshoku Grand Guignol by Ali Project

Futatsu no Tsubasa by Iosys
(So while iosys/touhou songs generally mostly appeal to a specific category of individuals, this song manages to transcend the "uniqueness"(?) of the other songs. It's definitely worth listening to and reading the lyrics.)

Oyome ni Shinasai by Iosys
(read above for fubatsu no tsubasa)
[YOUTUBE]viPZZYYTSIY[/YOUTUBE]

Hakurei Shrine Neighborhood Association Marching Song by Iosys
(Long name short song, doesn't actually begin until like 15 seconds in.)

Colors of the Heart by UVERworld

There were a few other songs out there as well, but this should be enough for 1 post. Fiel, mad props to ya if you actually go through all of this xD.

A lot of weird crap has been posted in this thread, but I'd recommend any song by Ayumi Hamasaki and perhaps Utada Hikaru.

Oi oi, watch how you word things. Not everyone likes having their taste in music called "weird crap".


Anywho fiel, if you do listen to the ones i posted lemme know what you think.

Don't listen to that Anime/Touhou pomegranate, because it's really just that... pomegranate!

I beg to differ, some anime aimed at older audiences actually have decent music. Orange Range was used in Code Geass, and I...not really a fan of OR, liked some of the songs. You mean the shojo/shonen/kid stuff, I hope.

WHY IS THERE NO YUI IN THIS THREAD

[YOUTUBE]4RXX6V6vMJM[/YOUTUBE]

YUI - Understand because youtube's swarm of Covers buried the song

[YOUTUBE]H9JlBysxztA[/YOUTUBE]

couldn't find the whole version on youtube. again with the shitload of covers... sigh

YUI - Sea

See reasons above.

I think these are enough.



YUI will be sad if you don't listen to her

My favorite anime song, possibly! This song is so nostalgic, now that I think of it:
