What Japanese song(s) have you been listening to lately?

#1
Mods:I searched for a thread like this but wasn't able to find one. If there is one please link to it and lock this thread. I also wasn't sure what board to put it under, so please move it if necessary.

Anyway, I was wondering what songs you all have been listening to lately. This thread is to post the songs that you've found yourself listening to over and over recently.
I'll start:

スピッツ 夜を駆ける



This song has a really catchy soft rock beat, with the guitar cords reminding me somewhat of early 90s music. It's one of those songs that made me want to exclaim "Pretty..." and zone out to it when I first heard it. ^-^ Overall, I find it's a good song for just listening to when you're trying to de-stress from a hard day.

Even though I heard this song at first a while back, for some reason the other day it started to sound really good to me. The performance is cool too, everyone's so happy for some reason.

AKB48 - BINGO!

I've been meaning to listen to Spitz for ages, maybe today's the day Smile

Recently I've been listening to this mixtape a lot:

I've been listening to Meiso a lot. It's hip hop, kinda jazzy. Here's a song I like:


Meiso - 盤上の駒

I haven't listened to Spitz before but I thought the songs people linked were pretty good.

The Ulfuls. Non-stop. Especially Samurai Soul, Nakitakunai no ni, Omoidase, and Yuurei.

Also, Sorafune by Tokio. And Last Night, Good Night by Hatsune Miku.

And of course the end songs for Keroro Gunsou.

The reason why they're faking that they're happy is that it fits their image. And fans will like them more, because happy girls are more attractive.

Railgun was such an awesome series. I was a little disappointed when the third season went back to Index... In fact, I haven't even watched the third season. I have to get around to that.

That particular style sounds very reminiscent of Kashiwa Daisuke or Motoro Faam (previously linked here: http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?p...#pid121081).

For pure piano you can try Yuki Murata:

Anyone else get the feeling like the world's at it's end soon, or that something very different is about to happen when listening to some Hatsune Miku's songs?

Oh! I had a hard time finding a video of Ametsub's work from Linear Cryptics in that last thread, and even the video I did find is now private, but looks like something's been uploaded relatively recently:

Ametsub: I Am Not Into It If You Are Into It
Ametsub: Roving Pianist

I used to listen to Ametsub and Daisuke, but I feel like there's something missing, dunno. It's quite good music though
