I have been gone way too long. I had been meaning to continue posting but returning to school got in the way of that. Dx Long story short, I was really unhappy there so I couldn't bring myself to post anything "sunny" even though I had plenty I wanted to talk about. :( Luckily my parents are understanding and allowing me to transfer colleges. Now I'm taking some time off and getting ready to set out again!
Ok! So the only topic I mentioned in my first post that I haven't gotten to write about yet is idols!
I don't know if idols fall into the category of j-pop but either way I feel more comfortable separating the two.
I found out about j-pop through YouTube. Mostly I was watching anime there and then saw some links to anime openings and AMV's (anime music videos). It wasn't until joining my first anime club that I actually heard the term "j-pop" though. Then I went home and searched it on YouTube and the rest was history. Honestly I don't stray much from music that is related to anime in some way, but some idols and groups are just really cute/talented and have really captured my attention~
FIRST! Perfume~
Perfume has got to be my favorite musical group from Japan. They probably have the highest ratio of songs I like versus songs I don't. Their choreography and performances are really amazing too! Ahh~ I really want to purchase all of their songs legally, but it's hard when your former bank is being difficult about closing your account in Pennsylvania and you live in Brooklyn, NY. = =; I don't have an iTunes account and I don't hear much about how to purchase music outside of that so I've always been a bit stuck anyways. Though I recently found some of their albums on Xbox music! Since I have an outlook account I could get those if I could only get my funds straightened out.
SECOND! Buono!~
Buono was the first group I knew by name. I found out about them through the Shugo Chara anime. I never stopped loving them and I'm actually listening to "Bravo, Bravo" as I type this xD
THIRD! Vocaloid/Utauloid
I absolutely love the Vocaloid/Utauloid singer-programs and the professional songwriters for them! Some of my favorites would be "World's End Dancehall" "Stickybug" "cLicK cRaCk" "Dreamin Chu Chu," etc~ And then the dances that get choreographed to them are so wonderful *0* They make me so happy~!
FOURTH! AKB48
This group I've heard about a lot since entering the world of Japanese pop/idol music. It's kind of hard not to lol. But I honestly only had a passing interest in them until the anime AKB0048 came out. I liked the story and the music from that. So those are the songs I have by them. ^-^; I'm actually pretty ashamed I don't like them more v.v;
FIFTH! Nogizaka46
I found this group through the song they did for the anime Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic called "Yubi Bouenkyo". It's the only song I know by them. I'm really sorry about that too. Y-Y
That's actually it pretty much. If it isn't the artists or songs I've mentioned before, I don't really know much about it. I usually learn about these things through recommendations or, as I've said before, through anime. Feel free to suggest things!
Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!
