Saw i lot of posters with you guys 9 favorite albuns, so i decided to make mine too!

Only 9 is so little and i constantly search and find new music, so this is probably be outdated in a year or two (maybe i should make a poster with idk my top 25)

Tickets on sale this Friday!

I struggled with this. Was extremely hard to cut but also revealing on what I tend to gravitate towards. A couple I eliminated but honorable mentions to For Tracy Hide for he(r)art and Fennel for Slow Down. That hurt not being able to include them so Im cheating a little.

Hey pookies, I'm Stevie and today I'd like to share my story of how I found Ado. ⭐

Let's start from the very beginning.

Music,
she is something incredible, yet I didn't know her till I fell in love with an artist who made me feel understood; Billie Eilish.

I started listening to her music when I was 12 years old and I felt deeply seen, and every lyric was exactly what I felt, and it touched me very emotionally and inspired me to the level of clouds, and that's how I came to love music, and by the time I was 13, I developed this dream of becoming a popstar too, like Billie, one day.

Fast forward to June or July last year, when I discovered Ado and J-pop.

I was just chilling, watching YouTube on my TV and I came across this video of someone's guitar cover of "Overdose" by natori, and I had never heard the song before, but when I listened to it, it was really, really good and I liked it, so I just started watching these J-pop guitar cover videos, and after a day or two I came across Ado's cover of Overdose, and at first when I listened to it, I felt confused because her voice sounded a little too similar to the original artist of the song, but soon enough I realised through the comments that Ado is a different person, and by the time I finished the cover I knew I had fallen in love with her voice, literally.

And that's how it all started, and I remember I would listen to this cover all the time, thinking about what kind of mysterious and beautiful person she must be. 🤭

Soon I realised that the cover of "Overdose" is not the first time I've heard her voice, it was "Kura Kura" as the opening of Spy x Family season 2 when I first heard her, and I loved the song but I did not pay attention to the artist's name.

And then I started listening to more of her songs and got even more impressed with her versatile style of singing, and now she's my idol, I look up to her a lot and I'm a singer myself, so I'm glad to have her as my inspiration, and she has become a very familiar part of my life now, I'm listening to her music all the time and it brings me comfort and a home-like feeling.

I'm very grateful to have her as a part of my life,
I love Ado-chan! ♥️

This was all 😃

If anybody would like to share their story of how they found Ado, I would love to hear it.
Also, I don't have any friends who are Ado fans, so I'd like to make some friends here as well 😄

What you think? Please recommend me similar music if you know some! (no utaite pls).

After posting yesterday, I've decided to do one of these myself

Rules are: Only one album per band (then it'd be all BRADIO and Yorushika), and only albums that I listen to in their entirety

I'm always open to chat about them, so feel free to tell me if you love one of these too!!

Has anyone of you every purchased from this ebay cd seller?

I‘m from europe and there is no cheaper place to buy any type of japanese cd than from this fella

But i‘m scared that the cd‘s are just ripped copies with printed out artwork lol

https://ebay.io/m/WVgxpX

If you have a better website/s to buy music from europe like:
- mass of fermented dreggs
- kinoko tokeiko
- nujabes
- all city pop icons

Pls lemme know :)

I recall that there was an account that posted with the title being 'a super nice japanese song' in the beginning. Now, it's replaced with random accounts. Anyone know what happened to the original account, and if anyone has an account of those same songs? I wanna listen to them again.

I've spent quite a bit of time exploring the Japanese metal scene, but I feel like there must still be a lot of bands I've overlooked.

I'm mainly looking for Japanese metal bands outside of traditional heavy metal, power metal, symphonic metal, melodic death metal, black metal.

Some of the Japanese bands I'm already familiar with include Maximum the Hormone, coldrain, Crystal Lake, Crossfaith, SiM, Ningen Isu, Ailiph Doepa, Sable Hills, Earthists., Knosis, Paledusk, HANABIE., NEMOPHILA, Graupel, PassCode, BABYMETAL, LOVEBITES, A Crowd of Rebellion, DEXCORE, JILUKA, DEVILOOF, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, envy, Sailing Before the Wind, Petit Brabancon, Kokeshi, Survive Said The Prophet, Broken By The Scream, THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS, Coaltar of the Deepers, DIR EN GREY, Boris, BAND-MAID, SIGH, Prompts, NOISEMAKER, PALM, and Ashita no Joukei．(I left out any bands I considered to be rock bands)

Are there any Japanese metal bands you think deserve more attention or that I might have missed?

For all my fellow Japan & anime nerds. :) Sharing some of my favorite anime OPs, EDs & Japanese artists. 🎶✨

I'm sorry guys, I can't find the song being sung in this video, but i think it's not necessary, since im more interested to discover a male vocalist/singer or even just someone who make covers with the same vocal tone of Sakuya from Nct Wish.

He is into the rapper line so I can't find a lot of videos of him singing but i really like his vocal tone. Aside from the vocal tone ,I can't explain what other elements/etc. of his voice but its so soothing and calm.

I love other japanese, more fast paced type of music like a band type and also dry flower by yuuri is one of my favorite but in this video its kind of different, like i dont always want to feel so energized or too broken when hearing a song so discovering similar songs like this will be a good thing for me.

I'm not sure if it's in the song or in the singer but feel free to let me know what you guys think, I'll really appreciate it.

Thanks you!

This was so hard, but I think this is a pretty good representation of albums that are special to me. Mostly my favorites from when I was a teenager, but I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
