Matchbook Romance- Promise My favorite song of all time. Also LM.C- 88 is one of the best songs I've heard.
In the 2nd vid guy or girl?
Guy. People seem to ask that a lot when it comes to visual or oshare kei music. lol
Good thinking.
Oddly enough, the Japanese music I listen to is either traditional folk music or Japcore/garage punk. All the other stuff is even more gimmicky than US music.
As far a J-rock? Envy, Jane the Ripper, The 5, 6, 7, 8's, and FC Five are really the only ones that I have found that I like. Not that I have searched in depth for it.
Quote from gan17
Not entirely true.... Japanese Electronic music is some of the best on the planet.
I hate electronic music. At least most of what I've heard. And I have heard an large amount of it, because my roommate in college was a wannabe candy kid.

Elgar Cello Concert 1st Movement by Jacqueline Du Pre
I have to say that the 1st movement was my favorite one. Especially when Jacqueline Du Pre plays. Her playing actually proves what the potential of Elgar can reach. Even Natalie Clein can't compare to Jacqueline Du Pre.

Listening to this recording makes me tear up every time. It's just beautiful.
Watashi to Waltz wo, by Onitsuka Chihiro, is also a wonderful song.
Pills, by The Perishers.
Cannonball, by Damien Rice.
Idyllwild, by Trembling Blue Stars.
Bonjour Viet Nam, by Quynh Anh Pham.
Koko ni iru yo, by SoulJa.
Hyper-ballad, by Bjork.
Oh Daddy, by Chatelaine.
and, to round off the soft and nice list,
Life 2: The Unhappy Ending, by Stars.
(I've got eclectic tastes and I tend to find softer music more beautiful.)

Passage by Vienna Teng - It's sung from the point of view of a woman who died in a car crash. Two days after she died, then 3 months, 4 years and finally decades after she dies and follows her mother, sister and lover. She has a beautiful voice and it's a haunting song. Get a HQ version, youtube doesn't do it justice.
Lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SZsBdz2_g4
(tried putting it in spoiler tags, forgot they're highlight, not dropdown here. Sorry for long post)
Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy (Sting has a version too but I prefer Eva's). Just a beautiful love song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3YVil3Ajjs
Symphony Of Blase - Anberlin. Song about a relationship that doesn't work but you still care about the other person.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WJ1pLAR8Yg
The Walk and Speeding Cars - Imogen Heap. The Walk is about falling in love when you don't want to, when all your plans come apart and you just cant help it. Speeding cars is about growing up and dealing with the real world for the first time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZEi4VjHES4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3R0RHNHaU4
Falling - Missy Higgins. Lovey, unique voice, writes her own songs. Poetic is a good word for it I think
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY3AVX5kZ-4
Thats.... more than 5 oh well, I could still put more.

Quote
I died in a car crash two days ago
Was unrecognizable
When they pulled me from the gears
No one's fault, no one's bottle
No one's teenage pride or throttle
Our innocence is all the worse for fears
The other walked away alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife
My lover sits, the silent eye
In a hurricane of warmth and word
My mother trembles with the sobs
Whose absence seems absurd
My sister shouts to let her see
Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me
My colleagues call for silence in my name
I died in a car crash three months ago
They burned me until I glowed
And crumbled to a fine gray sand
Now I am nothing, everywhere
Several breaths of strangers' air
And all thoughts ever written in my hand
They plant my tree out in the yard
It grows but takes the winter hard
My lover holds a knife to wrist
Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
My mother tosses in the sheets
And dreams me holding my own child
My sister plays our homemade tapes
Laughs as tears run down her face
My office door now wears a different name
I died in a car crash four years ago
My tree drinks melted snow
Just eight feet tall a pale and fragile thing
Bee stings beaches bright vacations
Sunburnt high-school graduations
A sparrow healing from a broken wing
This year a glimpse of second chances
Tiny apples on my tree's branches
My lover hears the open wind
And crawls blinking into the sun
My mother leafs through photographs
And thinks "yes she was a lovely one"
My sister can't decide her truth
Asks aloud what I might do
In a conference hall my brief efforts engraved
I died in a car crash
A lifetime ago it seems
Been a decade or two or three
They've just release a new design
Bars and bags front and behind
My fate now an impossibility
Safely packaged hurtling down
The highway hardly make a sound
My lover very much alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife
Was unrecognizable
When they pulled me from the gears
No one's fault, no one's bottle
No one's teenage pride or throttle
Our innocence is all the worse for fears
The other walked away alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife
My lover sits, the silent eye
In a hurricane of warmth and word
My mother trembles with the sobs
Whose absence seems absurd
My sister shouts to let her see
Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me
My colleagues call for silence in my name
I died in a car crash three months ago
They burned me until I glowed
And crumbled to a fine gray sand
Now I am nothing, everywhere
Several breaths of strangers' air
And all thoughts ever written in my hand
They plant my tree out in the yard
It grows but takes the winter hard
My lover holds a knife to wrist
Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
My mother tosses in the sheets
And dreams me holding my own child
My sister plays our homemade tapes
Laughs as tears run down her face
My office door now wears a different name

You've probably heard the wrong type of stuff.... and the kids in the US ain't exactly electro connoisseurs by world standards (no offense)..... you'll probably realize this if you traveled around. (or at least to Space in Miami)
Then again.... one mans terrorist is another's saviour.... so to each his own, I guess.

I will never like it. I already know, and it's not due to a lack of exposure or lack of an open mind. It's the culture, the format and the connotation thereof. Because I'm a musician. Am I saying that there aren't those who can make good electronic music? no. I'm just saying that looped beats and lack of syncopation are not my thing, when a brilliant lyricist is absent. Same reason why I don't listen to 'instrumental' hip hop. It always seems incomplete.
It's mainly the lack of syncopation, a message, and the removal of the musician that founder my dislike of electronic music. I've listened to a lot of different kinds, like happy hardcore, house, acid house, trance, techno, etc. It just doesn't bring me within the core of the music.

Lack of syncopation or message?
IMHO, no form of modern music achieves the level of syncopation as progressive house. No form of music has pulled me in so deep. As for the message, that's totally subjective.
Removal of the musician?
That's a 'below the belt' insult to my former profession. It's not like we just spin records. I've produced several tracks released on Renaissance Records. I've played real instruments during the production process, and my piano, violin and guitar background has been utilized to it's fullest.
I've seen artists like Norah Jones, Chad Hugo, Sting and Joe Satriani line up with the 'common people' while waiting to enter a club in Ibiza where The Chemical Brothers were performing. Yeah, the club scene can seem aloof at times, but that ain't the fault of the DJ/Producer/Artist.
Electro producers/artists will never be as well paid as Jay-Z, but their pure love for the artform alone has propelled the genre through the times. That's something I hardly see in most other forms of modern music. Yeah, some kids get into DJ-ing to score chicks, but they never go far.
You're not as well-exposed as you might think, you know.
No offense.
Let's drop this. If you wanna offer a rebuttal, go ahead.... but I won't be bothered give a counter.
Cheers!

No offense.
This is the only reason why I post a reply in the first place, because you are being condescending. I'm sure there is music I listen to that you don't like, and as you said, message is subjective. I didn't say that DJ's lack musical skills. And I don't listen to many, many things because they are my deal. I love Jazz, but can't stand most Bossa Nova or West Coast jazz. Electronic music is part of a different culture, as is classical music, to me. Which is why I choose my music based on these things. Drum looping is also boring.
If you had said that you don't like something I like, I wouldn't say you have not been exposed to enough of it. I may be young, but that doesn't mean I'm inexperienced.
And I hate uber specific genre names, especially non descriptive ones. Deep Progressive House? What does that mean. It's like melodic death metal.
