it’s impossible to find downloads for things on the eng-lang internet (i really want to listen through kohmi hirose’s discography, for example). don’t know if things would be different if i started messing with google translate

can folks pm me any good sources they know about for this stuff?

the whole album is pretty good!

the bassline in that second track :o

EDIT: that sax solo in “1984”…!!

Jpopsuki is the jpop private tracker. I can send you an invite if you want.

http://jpop80ss.blogspot.com is a good starting point for downloading things, if you’re interested in golden era stuff. Links from that page will lead you to other eras.

edit: and there’s http://www.generasia.com, but that won’t get you music, just infos.

pls

Just PM me you email : )

I should actually post some songs hey.

(I feel like I post the same things over and over but… maybe I actually don’t…)

Akina Nakamori is great. Maybe Bitter and Sweet is my favourite album? She has lots of good songs.


Along with Bitter and Sweet, Tatsuro Yamashita’s Ride on Time and Itoh Chieri’s Hello are my fave J-Pop albums I think.

Asano Yuko has a disco album I quite like, but I picked this song that’s not on it.

Some fashion pop:
Keiko Kimura

Kaoru Akimoto
(Dress Down - not on Youtube anymore??)

All the good Noriko Sakai videos are borked.

WHERE ARE THE DANCING HERO VIDS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDwkUWNr4dg

Youtube is ruins.

I guess I’ll just post this instead: http://m-u-s-u-c.tumblr.com/tagged/JPop
