Can I interest you in some J-Metalcore?
Maybe some Canton Rap?
Might I also interest you in the French Clair Obsur soundtrack that has no right to be as good as it is.
I love it. Tried the first 2 videos YouTube* gave me.
Usually I have fun trying to hear the lyrics. Now I get to have fun deciphering if its in English or Japanese

Even though Im counting down the days till I close my gmail/YouTube account, Google made a huge difference for providing 1 site to search for almost any topic.
Babymetal goes way harder than it should
Yeah, and also, as a older metal head, bands like Babymetal, Hanabie, Mellows, rock hard but also remind me that yeah, metal can be fun and silly.
They need to listen to some Korpiklaani
I’ve got some little experience from music via BeatSaber that I don’t usually listen elsewhere (Chinese, Japanese, K-Pop, computer music…)
Some can be good, but they are a minority for me.
I’ve grown partial to the musical stylings of Al-Namrood myself.
I’m quite partial to portuguese goth metal
Every kpop song
That was great
“Actually I was talking about Mongolian throat singing”.
I entirely unironically love mongolian throat singing.
… its fucking awesome.
Techno, folk and metal, they all fckn slam
Shoutout to The Hu
Love those guys
I’ve been enjoying Ummet Ozcan’s stuff for a month or so. EDM with throat singing, tickles something happy in my brain.
The takeaways here are:
- Listen to music from any/every country. If you’ve only listened to music from your own country (or only commercial broadcast radio), oboy… have I got world to show you.
- You don’t need to understand the lyrics. Good music is good music. It’s not “Satanic” or whatever your bogeyman is, trust me. (Unless it is, in which case… 🤷♂️)
Denying yourself the breadth of world music is like believing your country is and has the best of everything while never having travelled abroad once. Objectively laughable.
OK but K-pop is trash
I didn’t understand much of the bad bunny show, but whole Lee shit was it entertaining AF! I only heard his music for the first time day before cause a kid showed me, and I didn’t like it all that much. But the spectacle was out of this world!
And then theres me who can’t understand the words of a song no matter the language.
“Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a leopress above the Serengeti.” I spent most of my adult life thinking a leopress was a female leopard because of that fucking song.
I’m quite partial to J-rock. I’m not really even a weeb.
絶対的三分間 by そこに鳴る is one of my most favorite tracks of all time.
I left the title and artist in copypastable Japanese for easy finding.
Still a massive WANDS fan in my 40’s, idgaf
(X-japan goes without saying and yea i know, jmetal)
Same, the youtube algorithm got me there now NEK! is my favourite band.
Who knew a Japanese girl group would perfecting american college rock 20 years after its prime?
NEK! is awesome and you have good taste.
Used to live them, but switched up into hanabie and paledusk
Jokes on you, it’s actually J-Metal
Babymetal is the only metal band I listen to haha
Ladybeard, thanks.
Fact: this is the best thing that either Japan or Germany has ever achieved.
Love that song haha the clip is awesome soo
Densetsu no kuro-kami wo
Karei ni midashi
Kurui zaku kono hanawa
Hakanaku kieru
I love how comments are immediately flooded with recommendations.
(I cannot connect with kpop at all, even after spending several years carpooling to work with avid fans who would play all kinds every morning and evening.)
NANA-NANANANANA-NA-NA-NA, katamari damashii!
I’ve had the song “lonely rolling star” stuck in my head for the past few months a
Have you heard this?
K-Pop?
I guess I’m a bit more old school, but, with a twist.

Lot of good anime music, I really like Those Snow White Notes.
French New Disco is amazingly uplifting, also sometimes I came up what they’re saying so it turns even better.
