I... prefer the A-side. I think maybe I just don't appreciate Perfume in happy-go-lucky mode.

Forgive me J-music GAF, but I thought Perfume peaked creatively with FLASH, but I'm really glad I was proven wrong. Every Day is amazing.
The thing about these mash-ups is that you see the title of the track and the two artists that are mashed and you say to yourself "there's no way this will work." Then you listen to it, and it's like holy shit, it works seamlessly. I wonder if non-Japanese music listeners would feel the same.
I found this one today, and just started laughing like a madman. It's seamless and beautiful imo

In terms of having super different songs that strangely work together, there's only one that is as crazy. Getting a bit OT, but I must share Thomas the Tank Engine and Biggie Smalls.
Man, I love Keyakizaka46 so I was looking forward to this.
Can't say I dig it lol A shame since the single is great otherwise
I heard Burnout Syndromes for the first time the other day and decided to come here to say they're incredible. I immediately knew they were great when I heard ヒカリアレ in a Japanese song compilation on Youtube. I immediately bought their album on JP iTunes and it is perfection.

so inexplicably 2017 has given us another "girls in a canal" video, except this one comes with a weird meta thing where it has a member of Kindan no Tasuketsu who wasn't in their own canal video earlier this year
we've still got 4 months, hopefully we can get at least one more
e: oh my favorite member of Hauptharmonie (ironically the one that made their manager to break up the group) is in it too
You should try Acidman, the vocalists have similar voices/way of singing

Cool, I'm always looking new bands to listen to and I'm sure Acidman will be great. Thanks!
If you want a couple more of recommendations
Kana-Boon
Keytalk
The Oral Cigarettes
04 Limited Sazabys
go!go!vanillas
Cider Girl
My Hair is Bad
Hope you'll find something you dig
Shared this in the Spotify OT:
Friend showed me this today

Could be a neat way of discovering music. Not sure how effective the layout is on mobile. Pretty good on the desktop. It's going to keep on updating with time too.

Who are all these other people whose groups aren't listed?
We've been blessed to receive so many Oomori videos recently. I'm happy.
A lot of them are former participants from the Miss iD audition (all of them actually from the look of it)
The new la la larks album is sooooo gooooood.
I'm quite happy that the death of SFP brought us 2 new amazing bands, siraph with the indie-SFP style and la la larks with the major-SFP style.
Same. Lemon is amazing, especially the ending.

Here's hoping the same happen with Kinoko Teikoku >.>

almost entirely missID entrants (including some 2018 contenders) and a few of Oomori's personal friends. but even then a lot of missID girls are already relatively well known in underground music/art/photography circles.

He announced the dates for Paris and London along with LA and New York in July: https://twitter.com/SkyHidaka/status/885104153462165504
But the details are just now coming in. Bush Hall is listed for UK here: http://avex.jp/skyhi/live/tour.php?id=1001043
Huh, totally missed that in July then!
Wonder if he has fans in Europe. The Paris venue is pretty small (but a neat one, I saw LITE there)

This is damn good. I have had it on repeat.
Maybe it's time I finally venture into the world of Perfume.

good news is that a lot of their catalogue is better than that song!

These are some damn fine routines for pretty great songs. I'm almost getting emotional.

I think I've heard of him. He's a new EDM DJ that's becoming more popular recently, right? I don't really get why he's so popular. Seems kinda generic to me.
Sooo good
Man what a great single
Pretty cool. Kinda disappointed her new album is a weird mix of new materials and old stuff, but hey.
No details yet, but My Hair is Bad will release their 2nd major album on November 22th. Really excited for this.
In other news, Daoko and Yonezu Kenshi are pretty much guaranteed to have the most viewed song on Youtube this year as far as Japanese music is concerned.
Already sitting at almost 23 millions and still going strong!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tKVN2mAKRI
I think the leader so far is Wanima with 31 millions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzMamUEdlMI
TWICE's Japanese debut reaching 30 millions soon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t35H2BVq490
Keyakiza46 at almost 27 millions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfzuzDrVRVM
And then maybe Yonezu Kenshi with Orion and Peace Sign, both broke the 23 millions bar

Yeah, I don't get why that's the case.
I was going through Daoko's album Daoko and man it's so damn good. Mind Surf from the bonus disc is easily my favorite song on that entire thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dkZhBOowoc
But if we're talking about the main album then ゆめうつつ takes the cake.

its not bad, especially starting out with nocchi. but i wish perfume would channel there inner GAME era perfume and give us some more songs on that level.
This remains one of my favourite SCANDAL songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxGkykm56oQ
It's just a collection of new accoustic recordings of her songs. Most of the tracklist was determined by voting too, I think.
Gotcha
Kinda considering the limited edition for the live DVD tho

Man, I didn't care much for it on the album, but this is fucking great. These guys really know how to give great live performances
