Ein08 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 My favorite would have to be "Song of Truth" by Do As Inifinity. I've only heard it as the ending theme for Inuyasha, but it still remains my favorite, although I haven't heard the full thing. ^_~ I also like Ayumi Hamasaki's "Surreal" and Utada Hikaru's "First Love". Sadly, I cannot find Japanese CDs ANYWHERE, because obviously they have to be imoprted here... Grrr... I will look harder. ::runs off to find CDs:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein08 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Oh, I really like "The Real Folk Blues" at the end of Cowboy BeBop. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein08 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Sorry, to add one last thing. I pretty much like all the songs that are the endings for Inuyasha!! ^_^ Hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowsRebel Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 With Broken Wings or In the Blue. Those two songs are amazing. ;.; I keep on crying everytime I hear one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandius Jones Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 [COLOR=DarkOrange]I really like DesRow's [i]DaiKenKai[/i], Smile.dk's version of [i]Butterfly[/i], anything from Yoko Kanno, Mai Yamaine and Steven Contre's good, although I don't know if he qualifies. Also, in an attempt to steal this thread back from Spamness, I give my explantions.... I'm a DDR addict who doesn't get to play very often, so I compensate by finding MP3s. It took my 4 weeks to find DaiKenKai...and then I make the mistake of looking up the lyrics at AnimeLyrics.com...and discovered just what a [i]strange[/i] song that is...is sounds like they took poorly written American rap and had a bad translator translate it into Japanese. Either that, or their translator is really bad...or they just want to confuse the heck out of us. If that's the case, then they seceeded very well. Butterfly is just so hyper it's addicting. I got my 41 year old father, who is entirely apithetic to [i]anything[/i] anime, addicted to this song. It's not unusual to have him walking through the house singing it. :rolleyes: I like every Yoko Kanno song I've heard, simply because they're all beautiful. I really really like the song "Tell Me What The Rain Knows" from Wolf's Rain. As for Mai Yamaine, I like the song "Blue" the best. I like melancholy sad songs for some reason. I love both her and Steve Contre's versions of Rain for that very reason. I have more, but I've written more than enough, I think...don't want to bore people more....[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sizlor Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 i like all the music from cowboy bebop and FLCL but rain (from bebop) is one of my favorites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drive_monster Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I listen to a lot of J-Rock, but my two favorite songs are "Blues Drive Monster" (you can tell by my username) and "Instant Music" by The Pillows, and "READY STEADY GO" by L'Arc~En~Ceil.

Semjaza Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I like the Pillows. They have some good albums. Thank You, My Twilight is probably my favorite of theirs. Recently I've been listening to Family Music by YMCK. It's basically Famicom (NES) music with a Japanese girl singing her own lyrics over it. It's pretty interesting because, from what I can tell, the music itself is from actual games and not something the group composed (like other 8-bit groups). Fun stuff.

Meggido Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 My favourite Japanese songs include: Simple and clean. Inner Universe New World Emerald Green. Yes I know they are from animes and games but that's where I hear most of my japanese music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazzilla Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 The seatbelts and Yoko Kanno, like ThatOneOddDude said are good. My personal fav. is "just gotta knock a little harder" Such a wonderfull Song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drizzle Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 [COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Arial]Obviously the soundtrack to cowboy bebop. Its soo cool. It made me like jazz. Also, the opening theme to Naruto on the 2nd season or w/e: Haruka Kanata by the Asian Kung-Fu Generation. It's rock so hard. Im seriously addicted, i cant stop listening to it...[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuraineko Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I also like the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, (especially Rain) and the FLCL soundtrack. I even have some japanese songs but they are not translated so I don't know the names, but I still like them (even though they were made in the 80's, nothing wrong with that) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dielover Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Obscure by Dir en grey Am I the only one who listens to japanese music? anyway, another favorite is Cage by Dir en grey p.s. my favorite Gackt song is Vanilla :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I've only heard a few Japanese songs, few to none of them being outside of the anime theme song genre. The ones I really like are "The Real Folk Blues", the ending theme to Yu Yu Hakusho (the one that plays during the Sensui storyarc), the second ending theme to Inu-Yasha, and "Simple and Clean" by Hikari Utada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dielover Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I knew it! I'm alone in the world! :animecry: I'm not surprised at all when people say that the only japanese song they've heard is from a anime. Once someone came up to me and sai "Dir en grey rocks! I heard one of their songs last night on the radio!" I tell them they are full of crap and to go shoot themselves in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dielover Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Yay! I'm not alone anymore! Have you ever noticed how naughty some of Gackts songs are? I think Vanilla is his naughtiest one. :naughty: :twitch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistra Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 [COLOR=RoyalBlue][FONT=Palatino Linotype]Gackt? Naughty? Never...^__^ ((Evil grin)) Sarcasm...Vanilla...
