[Album] J-Pop: An Introduction (and discussion)

I haven't bought new stuff in a while, and I might be able to after Christmas. My latest purchases have been Hyde (Faith, both versions), some Nana Kitade and almost the entire Olivia Lufkin discography (to fill in what I was missing). Any suggestions for something new? No bubblegum pop or hip-hop, plzkthx. I'm dying for new music.

How ya doing, buddy?

I could go either way, but I tend to lean more towards rock than acoustic. However, they both have their merits. I have some YUI on my iPod, but it's only stuff from the BLEACH soundtrack.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's Rolling Star, I believe. Never hard Tokyo Jihen, but I'll check them out. I've got some Shiina Ringo and Go! Go! 7188. DAI isn't new to me either. Thanks for the recs!

Ah, I hadn't heard about that. Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check it out.

I haven't heard much of The Brilliant Green, but I like what I have heard. I've got a few Anna Tsuchiya CDs. Judy and Mary, you say? Cheese Pizza cracks me up. High & Mighty Color is good too. I've never really gotten into fra-foa (mostly because of that slow and boring you mentioned -_-). TH6 is good in small doses, I can't take too much of her at once for some reason. Haven't heard of Sayaka or Miz, but Nanase Aikawa pwns me. Thanks for recs. I'll soon have music coming back out of my ears because I'll have listened to so much.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Curse you declining disk space, curse you to digital hell!

Oh, I totally understand. Some music stays on this comp, the rest gets YSIed to the other comp that has more space, and goes onto my ipod there. I have the "little computer". Pffff.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
