Yo! Peoplezz! This is just a world where I give you info about good j-pop singers and songs that I can't stop listening to! ^ ^ Like for instance: Ah Merry-go-round
I am listening to that song currently.
And since I'm a HUGE fan of j-pop this'll be fun and easy!
I've noticed by going on the chat thingy that most people don't know some of the most popular of j-pop artists, well, I need to make it known, especially on a website like this. You guys to need to know and love these j-pop singers!
I found some really good songs that I've loved for a while now. Some might seem familiar to you guys.
First one is called Samishii Nettaigyo and it's by WINK:
I LOVE the beginning of the PV, and I have no clue why....OH! This was also sung by W, but I don't like their version as much as the original.
This next one is called Give A Reason by Megumi Hayashibara (who voiced Rei Ayanami in NGE):
Sorry, it's just a picture. I couldn't even find a live! ^ ^; This used to be my favorite song, but I've heard a lot of other songs, so this isn't my favorite anymore. I'm sure it may sound familiar to some.
This next one is called Watarasebashi by Moritaka Chisato:
This was also sung by Aya Matsuura, which I'll show you next. I personally like Aya's version much better, but I find it interesting that Moritaka, I think, played all the instruments...or a lot of the ones included in this song.
This is the Aya Matsuura version of Watarasebashi:
This song is about a bridge...I think it's called Watarase...or something...I can't remember. It's...I guess kinda sad. It's like a remember when this happened and yadda yadda. I think it might be the sound quality that makes me like this version more.
Watarasebashi is also sung by many other members of H!P: Yoshizawa Hitomi (Yossy), Momoko Tsugunaga, and Yurina Kumai.
Since I don't know any other group that dances as hard as H!P, these videos will just be of H!P. I love dance shots! ^ ^ These are some of my favorites (and most challenging looking dances):
This one's called Tokkaiko Junjou, it's by C-ute. The first time I saw this I was completely amazed. How do they remember all that and do it right? Practice, I know...-.-; But I think it's really interesting, amazing, and the music is pretty epic, too.
This song's called Dakishimete Dakishimete, by Berryz Koubou. This one...it's kinda hard to see. I really like watching Saki Shimizu in this one, she's the girl with the hat and black and white striped shirt. She's probably the most energetic and the best dancer in Berryz, so yeah, pay attention to her.
I couldn't not post this! This group is supposed to have the best dancers in H!P and the dance is supposed to be really challenging, which it does look like. I really like this dance shot, it's probably one of the best.
Ehhh...this one isn't big on the dance or anything, I just like to recognize all the people in the video and when they dance in sync it looks awesome! ^ ^
I LOVE Perfume songs, and I said in the last post that I'd post their songs. I show you my favorite of theirs!
First song is called Polyrythm:
I love singing along to the parts where they sing Polyrythm. At first I thought it was kinda annoying, but then it gets really catchy.
Next song is called Dream Fighter:
I kinda wish there was more in this video, but I do love them exploding into spherical bubbles! ^ ^
Next song is called Secret Secret:
The song sounds a little creepy, but then when they eat the chocolate it gets better. This is a very metaphorical song. The song's lyrics are from a fan's perspective, while the whole video is a metaphor of how they started. When they wear gray it shows that they were kinda nobodies when they started out, and then the gold means them now since they're popular now, and the white means the future. Very interesting song and PV, and that's why I like this one so much!
Next song I can't get out of my head, it's called Puppy Love:
I think the PV is from their song Macaroni...I don't really care. The song is adorable and the name is cute, too. It starts out sounding like Charlie Brown, then it gets really good.
I really like Capsule and Perfume, which are both j-techno or a more futuristic sounding j-pop with computerized voices, and sometimes they don't have computerized voices. But let me just show you some of the Capsule songs that I love to death! ^ ^
This first one is called Jumper:
Check out the lyrics for the song (really simple and short):
Undisrupted secrets,
They won't break you,
Wake up,
flew just like you're,
Leaving nothing(You pause (could also be "because")),
freely speed up,
while we step in, jump in,
Jumper.
Next song! I love this song the first time I heard it. It's capsule's more j-pop song:
In the video it kinda starts in the middle. The video is pretty funny, though! ^ ^ The song is called Sakura.
This next song is called 5iVE Star:
The video is really cute! ^ ^ The song kinda reminds me of of an SNES game...dunno why.
This next song is called Idol Fancy, it kinda reminds me of Perfume's Sweet Donuts song:
Here are some of the songs that I used to hate, but now I love!
This first one I can't stop listening to! It's just so catchy! It's called Forever Love by C-ute:
The only thing I don't like about this song is the beginning, or that kind of melody throughout the song. I didn't like it because I only listened to the beginning. In order of solo appearance: Maimi Yajima, Airi Suzuki, Erika Umeda, Kanna Arihara, Mai Hagiwara, Saki Nakajima, and Chisato Okai.
This next one is also by C-ute. It's called Ookina Ai de Motenashite:
It's another song that I only listened to the beginning and I didn't like it because it kinda annoyed me and it sounded scary. But it's not the beginning of songs that are good when it comes to C-ute, it's usually the middle or something. Airi does EXTREMELY well in this song. She's the girl with the high pitched voice who is usually singing. In order of solo appearance: Maimi Yajima, Airi Suzuki, Kanna Arihara, Mai Hagiwara, Saki Nakajima, Erika Umeda, Chisato Okai, and Megumi Murakami.
This next song is by Nana Kitade and I think it's like a cover or something of somebody else's song. I think it's called Kiss or something, I'm not sure:
I only like this song because of the AWESOME PV. I mean! Just look at how pretty she is!! I had this song stuck in my head during school while everything was all quiet and called. I couldn't help tapping my foot to it...'course it annoyed a lotta people during school.
The next song is by Berryz Koubou. It's called Gag 100kaibun Aishite:
Well, I don't know why I hated I hated it before. It's just not in my taste. I didn't like the feeling of the PV either and it seemed pretty boring to me ('cept for the frozen figures of them painting). But now I love it because of the awesome sound effects! And it's incredibly funny! ^ ^ In order of solo appearance: Miyabi Natsuyaki, Yurina Kumai, Momoko Tsugunaga, Maasa Sudou, Risako Sugaya, Saki Shimizu, and Chinami Tokunaga.
I hope you love those songs, or don't like them but might like them in the future. They're incredibly catchy songs! ^ ^
