ATOT asian music thread

[dc]

I'm gonna give this a shot. lol.

I know there's a decent number of people here that listen to asian music, so i'd like to encourage you guys to contribute/share stuff you like and listen to. you can already imagine what the thread will end up like if it's just me uploading stuff.

please include language/nationality. descriptions/info would be nice too.

please keep threadcrapping to a minimun.

i'll start the thread off with a tribute to ZONE
they are disbanding today (april 1st). they've been around in one form or another since 97/98, but their first big label release was with sony music in 2001 and their 3rd single secret base was the huge hit that brought them into the starlight.
outside of hello project, they are probably my favorite group. <3 i will miss them.

Maiko (bass) Takayo (guitar) Miyu (guitar) Mizuho (drums) Takayo (keyboard/guitar)

i used to listen to chinese music but the new stuff are crap.

 

[EvilYoda]

I've listened to David Tao's stuff for a few years now, but I can't say that his newest album is very good.

Other than him, I haven't gotten anything new in a few months.

[Toastedlightly]

I like the beach boys...

 

[buzzsaw13]

Chemistry is an awesome duo, I personally like Move On (Album Version) and they also take part in 2002's world cup theme song Let's get Together Now.

I had a roomate who listened to Namie Amuro. I liked her music, or at least the songs in the late 90's.

:heart::heart::heart: I love BoA :heart::heart::heart:

i like some of boa's stuff, not the britneyesque stuff though.

i like some of namie's older ballady stuff, don't care for her r&b/hiphop'ish stuff.

i'm thinking what i should upload next. maybe some xjapan or other rock.

 

[777php]

I like Ryohei Yamamoto
Sowelu
Jay Chou
Three Nation
Byul

 

[Mrvile]

For some reason I really like a lot of songs from animes, but I never know who they are (they all sound the same). Crap, I don't even watch anime.

 

[UglyCasanova]

Is there such thing as non poppy asian music, because dc just going by what I've seen it is all like 10x worse than Nsync and any pop we have in the states and I hate pop, and therefor hate asian music.

edit: other than anime music. Are there any asian bands that are non-pop non-anime?

 

[MommysLittleMonster]

Jay Chou

 

[dragonballgtz]

I don't know crap about Asian music, but this Tejano jam I'm listening to right now, right now is sweet.

 

[dug777]

does cat stevens qualify?

if i flooded this thread with visual kei you'd be crying and begging for pop.

i'm an ayu kinda guy

 

[deejayshakur]

<--mostly hk music: joey, jordan, kelly chan (oof), leo, eason, sammi, deep ng. all the other new ones can't sing with crap.

also FIR, jasmine leung, tao jie, tao jie's boys TENSION, stef sun, penny dai and of course jay. none of the low-quality stuff like jolin (bak chi), twins (inexplicably irresistible sometimes), and f4 (gag).

wang leehom too, altho he's gone gangsta lately. just finished watching the mtv's off his latest album. i gave up japanese and korean music because i realized it didn't understand a word that was being said. except the occasionaly 'that's right' and 'baby'.
