I love you.

And check out the pillows. They really are so much more than the band from FLCL.

Haha! They are being acquired as we speak.

Trust you to like An Cafe . They are awesome though.

[Sunshine Bunny]

Yeah the pillows are really good. And what do you mean about me liking AN Cafe? Is that some sort of I like pretty Asian men joke?

Haha! No, more....they are a rather....queer, cute band haha. Although, I like them too; so really...we're both in the same boat here XD.

[Sunshine Bunny]

Oh I would join you in that boat any day.

If you can, look up on YouTube:

Akeboshi - Wind
It's beautiful, seriously! There are other amazing songs by him, but yes...Wind is probably the most popular.

[Kira...]

this is probably a stupid question but...

is it in English or what?

Yeah, Wind is in english. Some other songs are in Japanese, some are half & half.

However, because he's Japanese, his voice sounds quite weird when singing in English.

I'm glad you like. I suggest you buy/acquire the album. He only has one album out atm, it's called "Akeboshi".

However, any other J-Bands like him?

How funny. I'm actually listening to this right now. It's going to make my year end top 10. I haven't gotten around to dl'ing the Scandal album, I'm assuming it's worth dl'ing right?

Haha! How strange.

But yes, I liked the new Scandal album. Same cute, up-beat, japanese pop music as the last album, but the new one has much better sound quality & their really isn't a bad song on it to be honest. If you like that kinda music then you wont be disappointed.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead with a few youtube finds. Enjoy








Last but not least... here is Japan's response to Paramore, only with much better guitar work.

[Ryan]

The most talented girl band ever.



Why can't all girl bands be this amazing?

[Pathetic Romance]

really? Japanese? Do you know what the lyrics mean?

as long as the music is good it doesn't matter what the lyrics mean

[Sunshine Bunny]

I usually try to find a translation somewhere for the lyrics. Actually I do this regardless of where the band is from. I like to at least know what they are singing. Then again, I have trouble understanding English in song most of the time so I just enjoy the music.

That probably made little sense.
