Music Swap [Open]

@Kristiwazhere Your recommendations were right on point! I liked both of the songs and will check out more from what the band has recorded.
As for your likes, I think these might be something you'd like:

It's not exactly full Jazz but I think this ablum could scratch that sort of instrumental Jazz-like sound with post-rock.

Here's another japanese fusion album.


I also have some other recommendations, since you said that you're open for mostly everything.

From the Bocchi anime, but not the main band, I recomend SICK HACK

this song is suuch an earworm. give it a listen if you have the time!!
Song: 夏は雨晒し (Natsu wa Amazarashi) - Artist: Rib

@ratlicker Hi, i think you'd like this song YOASOBI - Monster

i really like aimer, so i would suggest ref:rain and of course brave shine. as for anime music i also love kickback from chainsaw man, all aot openings (especially 2 and 7) and 91 days op.

i'm really into rock and metal, but these days i play headlock and to ashes and blood (from arcane) on repeat

One of my favorite songs is "The Lake and The River" by The Dear Hunter (a totally underrated band).
I really love the strong vocals and the story in the song; you can listen to it on its own, or as a part of the narrative told throughout their albums. The instruments used also hook me in so hard, I listen to this song on loop for hours at a time.

been obsessed with the new album from the cure, the etherial sound and how it lets you sit with it for a while (its a 7min song) is just amazing.

@gashdn i dont really know anything similar, but it reminded me of Hitsujibungaku



As for my cup of tea, huge fan of anything Mizuki- currently obsessed with UNIDOTS

I was listening to this one on Spotify
Music: Kimi no Namae (きみの名前) Artist:Chiai Fujikawa (藤川千愛)

@matemasu
I hope you like this song, it's called Subarashiki Uso (素晴らしき嘘) from flumpool

for anyone into 80s japanese city pop music i recommend this playlist:

@ratlicker Hi, i think you'd like this song YOASOBI - Monster

@suvie this is lit!! i've never seen beastars but i might give it a watch cause the opening's that good >3<

@JoanVi04 @LXYXN @real_slim_jadey and everybody else that mentioned Eve and I missed them or just anyone who likes Eve's music

I'd recommend listening to Sou, though you may already know him from his collabs with Eve (that's actually how I discovered him). He's also an utaite and his MV's have a similar vibe to those of Eve.

If you haven't listened to Ao album yet, I'd recommend listening to all of the songs, because they're all honestly very good! Here's I think my favourite one from the album:


It's called Dr. in case the link doesn't work



If you want to check out some of his solo original songs, here's two of them:


Nero - the opening from Dead Mount Death Play


灰カラ, which was a part of HoYoFair

@suguru- speaking of Sou, I really liked his cover (with ivudot) of Fatal recently:


I may be biased (I really like the song and just about everything Giga's worked on, even just with arranges) but I think the cover is great, even if it's a bit different to Sou's more popular covers.

@andreth This is actually my first time hearing this one and I have to say, I really like Sou's part, but I have mixed feelings about Ivudot (nothing really against him, but I just feel his voice doesn't really suit this song). I also may be biased though after hearing the original so many times...

@DigiCat i like melancholic sounding music too! maybe you'll like the ed for uchuu patrol luluco-- pipo password by teddyloid.
i just watched this today and the ed has become one of my faves, it's vibes are melancholic, but also a little surreal.

@Tsukemono-san On the off chance that somehow you missed it, given your "melancholic vibes" song above, I thought you could spend ~6 minutes enjoying the music video for "Shelter" that was so famous back in 2016:
SHELTER
Since the animated portion is an anime in MAL, I think this counts :)

I'm looking for something with an energy similar to Space Dandy's Viva Namida! Sometimes I just want to bounce around with a catchy chorus...

@Rivka44 That has such a fun energy! While, not necessarily from an anime (it's an American animation), I recommend Checkmate from RWBY Vol 9. It has that jazz/funk feel.

I like epic instrumentals, so I love Evan Call's Violet Evergarden album, especially Across the Violet Sky

This is tough as there are tons of them to choose from.
I think I'll go with something recent like 音色の軌跡(Neiro no Kiseki) which is a character song from Hibike Euphonium 3. It is a duet between the characters Oumae Kumiko and Kousaka Reina.


Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/track/7rt7elfhDTmLekaTc1w3Dg?si=b9807c5a93224c3a

@Rivka44 Helloooo! I have yet to watch Space Dandy, but I am listening to Viva Namida as I type this and I am LOVING it!

Okay, the anime song I am sending your way is Afro Gunso which is the first ending theme from Keroro Gunsou! The full song is great, but I wanted to link the ending theme itself just because it is chaotic. I also recommend the anime. Hahah.
I also feel like you might like the song Night by Night by Chromeo! It has a similar vibe to the song that you shared. If you like this song, definitely check out the rest of their music. A lot of their music is bouncy and catchy!

Shameless promotion for my favorite K-Pop song: ♡ Baby Don't Stop - NCT U ♡

I hope you enjoy the music!! Happy Bunkasai!! =D

---

When it comes to music that I enjoy, I love anything I can dance and sing my heart out to! Catchy and upbeat songs always end up on my Repeat Rewind playlist on Spotify! Hahah. My top genres are K-Pop (I have dumped out my bank account for NCT, SKZ, ATEEZ, & The Rose), EDM (I love dubstep in general, Zedd, Porter Robinson, Madeon, etc.), Pop Punk, Punk Rock, & Indie.

Happy Bunkasai!! =D

As a big fan of the band, I'd like to recommend 'Dead End in Tokyo' by MAN WITH A MISSION. I love most of their songs, but this one is definitely in my top three.

Dead End in Tokyo

@haskellith Heyyy omg I also love all the songs you mentioned.

If you like rock/metal I reccomend you this it has a slow build up, but has some kick to it! If you like it check out this :) oh and something similar to kickback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KuWjZD6PBA&ab_channel=AzumiTakahashi-Topic


One of favs are: Brothers | Treachery ost from Bleach and Plum Blossom

Anyone feel free to recommend me anything :)

@Malin28 tried to find something that had the same sorta genre shift like the one you linked (which was great btw!) and came up with this: attouteki vivid days give it a listen if you want!



for my own:
Heard this one recently and thought it was fun. It's a rock spin on a classic japanese folk song/dance. Y'all should give it a listen if you have time!

I noticed a lack of video game music, to make up for it I'd like to recommend three songs that I particularly appreciate:

Sanctuary from Kingdom Hearts II, by Utada Hikaru


Outer Wilds from Outer Wilds, by Andrew Prahlow


Song of the Ancients (Atonement) from Nier Automata, by Keiichi Okabe


I recommend the games as well!

@Lunarose2 I hope you'll like this song, it's a bit dark, but there's a glimmer of hope hidden away in it:


I enjoy listening to a variety of jpop songs, some of my favorite bands are AliA, Hoshimachi Suisei, Lilas Ikuta, ONE OK ROCK, YOASOBI, Yuuri,
and YUIKA.

@Kwanthemaster Since you asked for something obscure, I'd like to recommend this song:


As for me, I love songs with dark concepts/tones, I mostly listen to kpop and a bit of jpop atm(Dreamcatcher, Purple Kiss, Pixy, Pink Fantasy, Phantom Siita, Vocaloid...), but I'm open to recommendations in any languages!

Not sure who to tag so here are a few recommendations to anyone interested!


I looove necchi's music, they've only got a few songs out as of writing this but they're all awesome, really dynamic and detailed and their voice is very pleasant to listen to. The accompanying music videos are also super cool, 'Reverse' from this year especially looks amazing.



Saito Soma is probably my favourite solo artist ever, his voice is ethereal to me and there's quite a bit of range to his music, though it's mostly somewhere within the j-rock umbrella (I think). Some songs are just fun, some are painfully depressing and some are plain gorgeous. I find this one, 'Hiraeth', part of the last two categories. The music video is also very beautiful as always. I also really love Soma's lyrics, he seems to enjoy pondering existential and gloomy/melancholic topics and that definitely reflects onto his music, MVs and other personal writing.



Midori is a new discovery for me, I really enjoy how experimental their sound is. A lot of it is very noisy and more punk than jazz, but this is a softer one. This song in particular makes me feel something rather indescribable. Like a revitalizing sadness, kinda. I've also been liking the singer's solo songs. Check out 'DJ Mariko Goto (DJ後藤まりこ) - DEMO (2018)' if you're into weird and loud electronic music.

@V-E-N-U-S Since you like songs like Treachery , you should try
Elfen Lied Opening - Lilium (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Isg0zwHmU4)

I personally like A World Without Logos from hellsing ultimate(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qDtt3c6dXQ)

@Lunarose2
Uhh the Kpop Groups are all ones I really like myself, especially once I first got into that genre those groups were pretty much what got me started.
During that time I also really enjoyed this song:

So maybe you'll like it as well 🥰

As for me I really like Kpop (mainly girl groups and not overly cutesy) and metalcore a lot 😊
