GOD TIER ALBUMS from kinoko teikoku, sheena ringo, motfd, and dead gf was enough to make me love the video but then you put my favorite midori album in number 1 im salivating
i haven't listened to many japanese albums, but i love shinsekai by midori, hato, speedbeat and Harumero are some of my favorites edit: didn't watch the whole thing when i commented this, wow i was not expecting midori to actually be number 1 on the list
I voted for tsumanne knowing that that would be the album everyone will pick, so that it would win (it did lol) but if i was honest i would've said tanoshiine or minna shine for skc. Minna shine in particular is basically a perfect collection of the catchiest, ear-splitting pop songs ever. nice list
Interesting list - a couple worth checking out. Gotta say, I think this list is heavily influenced by the current youtube algorithm/fantano. Just to throw some stuff out that may not be on other folks radars: Boredoms - 'Pop tatari' Ground Zero - 'Plays Standards' [FFO John Zorn] Bleach 03 - S/T [FFO otoboke beaver/Midori] Teengenerate - Savage!!! World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland [FFO Venetian Snares] Melt-Banana - Cell-scape [FFO Hella; Lightning Bolt; Locust] Happy End - Kazemachi Roman [trad. chosen as the best Japanese rock album of all time] Cornelius - Fantasma Kahimi Karie - I am a kitten Chara - Junior Sweet Kimidori - S/T [FFO Beastie Boys] Judy and Mary - JAM Osamu Kitajima - Benzaiten Soap-Jo Henshi - S/T [good luck finding this one] 385 - No miso araou [FFO Midori] Maximum the Hormone - Yoshu Fukushu [FFO Mr. Bungle] Flippers Guitar - Camera Talk Shugo Tokumaru - L.S.T. [FFO fishmans] Shonen Knife - Burning Farm [FFO otoboke beaver] Togawa Jun - Suki, suki, dai-suki 0.8秒と衝撃 - １暴２暴３暴４暴５暴６暴、東洋のテクノ Nisennenmondai - N Crack the Marian - Bop Cats
Very surprised that uzu ni naru made it onto the list, and not any of the other Kinokoteikoku albums. imo their future work is much better, like eureka or fake world wonderland
Of the artists that appeared in the video, I only know: The pillows, Shinsei Kamattechan, midori, kinoko teikoku, and mass of the fermenting dregs, I'm the type of person who listens to everything and maybe I'll check out the other albums that appeared, and no ling Tosite Sigure album appeared, I was sad😢😢
Damn I feel such a small subsection of Japanese music was covered here. I know this was a top 10 voted by your audience, but....damn there's so much fantastic music that's come from Japan that I can't help but showcase the sheer volume of quality that comes from there. Theres BORIS (maybe one of the greatest drone acts of all time), the whole 70s Japanese jazz scene (Ryu Fukui especially), the whole 80s City Pop scene (seeing no Tatsuro Yamashita made me sad), their classic Enka stuff ala Meiko Kaji ....also Nujabes. Damn y'all really left him out like that RIP. Even the vocaloid community has come out with classics - mikgazer Vol 1 and Unhappy Refrain could have come as some albums worth mentioning. Also it's obv but the sheer amount of GOATed OSTs that came from there could fill out it's own list. Also, talking to you voters, y'all really voted for The Pillows over frigging Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts - the guys who made Cowboy Bebops OST? Damn. Also I wanna mention Joe Hisaishi for his god-tier Studio Ghibli catalogue (Hans Zimmer who), and Ryuichi Sakamoto for all he's accomplished. So yeah....I don't think even a top 50 wouldn't have done their music scene justice....there's just so so so much to find to enjoy.
I dont listen to too many Japanese artists, but I love everything from Masayoshi Takanaka. I think I'd choose the Rainbow Goblins, it's just such a unique experience.
Fanclub album from Asian kungfu generation might be one of the best albums from Asian kungfu generation, I think it seems like a transition from Asian kungfu generation From the punk rock genre to the mellow slow rock genre typical of J-rock music,But personally I prefer the first album and the first EP. And it's a shame why their album didn't make it to the top 10
Great list honestly. Very surprised by the amazing taste in the votes. Those the pillows, おとぼけビ～バ～ (otoboke beaver), sheena ringo (椎名 林檎) (although I would've gone with her first album), and ミドリ midori albums would all make my top 5 easily. I was especially and also pleasantly surprised to see the latter 4 on the list at all. I am bummed that Haru to Syura didn't make the cut though. Which is not to say I don't also like きのこ帝国 (kinoko teikoku) and mass of the fermenting dregs (who have some US shows coming up). Also, I was expecting YMO on the list, and I was right; looks like I need to give that album another listen.
shinsei kamattechan (although tomodachi wa koroshite made was easily better /only if it was longer/), MOFD, gingnang boys and kinoko teikoku being there truly sparks joy
My personal favorite from japanese albums is Kuruoshiku Saita Seisan na Mukuro wa Kanade, Itooshiku Saita Shoujo wa Seisan no Uta wo Utau by Imperial Circus Dead Decadance... yuh
Maybe next time I should vote for 10 Asian Kung-Fu Generation albums to increase the chance^^. I limited myself IIRC on only one album per artist, happy to see that Uzu ni Naru in the list.
I really, really need to listen to Tanoshiine. "Kuroitamago" off of Tsumanne and "Zuttomo" off of Eiyuu Syndrome are both way up there in terms of personal importance. Strangely, I didn't get into Shinsei Kamattechan through being Extremely Online, but through being really into anime nobody else cares about: I found the opening to Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko so musically and lyrically striking that I needed to know who performed it, and look where I am now. Further thoughts: Kind of shocked Ajikan didn't even place, but maybe that's a sign of my age; I remember getting into Boredoms when it felt like there was a shadow of a chance that they'd put out another album. It's been twenty years since Seadrum/House of Sun dropped. ;_; I feel like in terms of noise-rock and punk this list also mostly skews newer and *slightly* more accessible, with hardcore OGs like Gauze, Death Side, The Stalin, G.I.S.M., Zouo and Inu all getting left in the lurch alongside noise-rock and heavy psych/shoegaze titans like the aforementioned Boredoms, OOIOO, Acid Mothers Temple, Nissenenmondai, Coaltar of the Deepers, Ohkami no Jikan, Angel'in Heavy Syrup, Shizuka, Fushitsusha, Afrirampo and Mainliner, to name a few. I suspect this has less to do with the youth neglecting the classics, however, than it does a lack of consensus; see ten different YMO albums being mentioned and Susumu Hirasawa and Ichiko Aoba getting mentions but no placements for this happening in an entirely different genre space. I am admittedly kind of unsurprised that no outright noise made it particularly high, but with that in mind: Please, listen to Aube if you haven't already. Rest in peace, Nakajima-sensei. You were a real one. As for what did get on there, I don't actually have any complaints. World is Yours, in particular, is seeing a thoroughly warranted revival. Seeing Masudore with friends in October and I am HYPED. Also, wild to see Midori rank that high. Finally, in terms of artists not on here but not yet mentioned: Shoutout to Kikuo. "Voices of Svaahaa" is a banger.
there was a lack of consensus that def hurt some stuff, akfg had an almost equal split between sol-fa and fanclub, and most people only put one. similar thing happened to ichiko aoba
P.S. I totally forgot to mention Jon the Dog! Probably my favourite artist with zero chance of ever making it anywhere in a poll like this. Imagine, if you will, the whimsical Japanese furry version of Daniel Johnston or Jandek, playing the organ and singing weird little songs in a soft, high-pitched voice while in a full wolf costume. I adore her with every fibre of my being. I would protect her with my life.
Interesting list - I think the albums from Sheena Ringo, Kinoko Teikoku and Mass of the Fermenting Dregs would've made my top 10 too (Sheena Ringo for sure, the album is so cool and kinda unsettling). My no. 1 japanese album is BABYMETAL's "Metal Resistance", that's for sure, and I'd add albums by Atarashii Gakko!, Hako Yamasaki, Maki Asakawa, Gesu no kiwami ottome, Ayano Kaneko, Sokoninaru and the last one from Hitsujibungaku. But there are a lot of others I love too. Btw after watching your video I listened to the Fishmans album for the first time - that's a really cool one, I dig it!
Just found your channel, really cool video +1 sub. Gonna listen to some of those albums that I didnt listen to yet. And its cool to see Haru Nemuri, MDG and Ichiko Aoba in honorable mentions. If I could do a fast view on albums Im currently listening non-stop It would be probably Luv(sic) Hexalogy - Nujabes, Her abinding memory - Pitcher56, qp - Ichiko Aoba, Super Champon - Otoboke Beaver, aratamemashite - midori, Spool - Spool, paddle ship - tiny yawn, Love Trip - Takako Mamiya... theres so many other artists I could talk about, but I must control myself 😅
huh this was a very interesting list, i'm surprised Lamp didn't make it in (i personally voted for Yume as my favorite album), and i didn't expect to see so many rock and punk albums. also, no Nujabes? btw is there a chance you could make the ranked spreadsheet of all submitted albums public, i'm interested to see all the stuff people voted for
The Pillows and Shinsei Kamattechan being there sparks joy. The absence of AKFG does not spark joy.
which akfg album deserves it
@@yourcommentisntfunnyv2709perhaps world world world
GOD TIER ALBUMS from kinoko teikoku, sheena ringo, motfd, and dead gf was enough to make me love the video but then you put my favorite midori album in number 1 im salivating
Thank god Haru To Shura at least made the honorable mentions, fav album all time
mine too!!
Love that album too :3
ofc midori was number one, one of my fav albums
Midori is goated
i haven't listened to many japanese albums, but i love shinsekai by midori, hato, speedbeat and Harumero are some of my favorites
edit: didn't watch the whole thing when i commented this, wow i was not expecting midori to actually be number 1 on the list
You're so pretty wth, also Midori is insane, ALSO I love the Pillows! and MOFD
i would have thrown out some toe and coaltar of the deepers but i am completely satisfied with #1, surely one of my favorites
so sad no flood by boris tho
yeah that wasn't even in the top 20 i was surprised
pink better
Midori's pick should've been Sekando but sadly it wasn't available anywhere unless you pirated it lmao
Would have loved to see For Long Tomorrow by toe there, interesting list nonetheless
its a pity that theres no toe - the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety in this list 😭best mathrock album ever
I voted for tsumanne knowing that that would be the album everyone will pick, so that it would win (it did lol) but if i was honest i would've said tanoshiine or minna shine for skc.

i think eureka is a lil better but i still like uzu ni naru

justo lo que estaba buscando, thanks!!
めっちゃセンスあって好きだわ
The Pillowsが10位の時点で察した
めちゃくちゃ最高👍
God damn, even if it's not Flood I'm surprised Boris didn't make the list whatsoever
I dont listen to too many Japanese artists, but I love everything from Masayoshi Takanaka. I think I'd choose the Rainbow Goblins, it's just such a unique experience.
Of course Midori would win, that album is amazing!
I would probably pick something else myself but it's the best choice possible.

I think Coaltar of the deepers deserves a spot, either with No Thank You or Submerge.
I am satisfied.

shojoskip not making it does not spark joy

Maybe next time I should vote for 10 Asian Kung-Fu Generation albums to increase the chance^^. I limited myself IIRC on only one album per artist, happy to see that Uzu ni Naru in the list.
Also IMO Ichiko Aoba is the greatest artist to have come out in the last 15 years besides Kendrick Lamar.
Her catalogue is unbelievably stellar.
銀杏BOYZ mentioned, good list
midori is the best
got this recommended under a fishmans song
Number 1 for me would be Gauge Means Nothing. Also check Nitro Mega Prayer, Heaven in Her Arms, and Mutyumu
I really, really need to listen to Tanoshiine. "Kuroitamago" off of Tsumanne and "Zuttomo" off of Eiyuu Syndrome are both way up there in terms of personal importance.
