oh god so many thread tages to choose from Ok yeah I live in Japan. It's pretty awesome, i've been here a while. I do not have a waifu nor a dakimakura but I am not necessarily closed to the idea. I hate the word loli. I love the Tokyo hardcore techno scene. I have the most cliche job a foreigner can have here. irc told me you guys wanted to ask stuff. If you wanna ask stuff, ask stuff. If you don't then ok. I live 2 minutes from this, it's pretty awesome and twice as old as my home country, that kinda blew my mind for a while. |

Japanese Hardcore (no, not that kind of hardcore) EDM is nonexistent in USA. Except for Skrillex, but I mean come on skrillex. He's ok I guess but those dubstep breaks just kinda ruin the flow of perfectly good music 9 times outta 10. Fatboy Slim was a thing for a while, he was pretty awesome. Anyway what I'm saying is I grew up hearing maybe 3 good hardcore edm songs ever in the USA and I loving loved them and I always wondered where I could find more. Apparently there was more in Europe? Had no idea. But Japan picked up on it recently and there are a few producers and DJs here, most centered around Tokyo, who make the most amazing high-energy noises. If you don7t like hardcore or electronica or w/e then don't click because this probably isn't gonna change your mind, but if you do this stuff is, in my uneducated and unprofessional opinion, loving Amazing and Good Times. DJ Shimamura and MC Stone: https://soundcloud.com/djshimamura https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_4UF7hxbJ0 Shimamura has had stuff played on BBC, and MC Stone is the first and only dude whose speaking over the music I've found to actually work with the music instead of being some dude being annoying and not shutting up when I just wanna hear the music dammit. Helps that he's cool as hell in person and shook my hand the first live show I ever went to here. (namedropping itt) Ryu*: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFAp7Eu2P98 Guy who makes songs for DDR and BeatMania IIDX. I loved his stuff before I even knew who he was. The first CD I bought of this stuff was one with one of his songs on it. Which introduced me to: DJ Noriken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgdSnAqyIs4 personification of otaku, cosplayed as a Madoka first show I saw him at. I don't care. He was my favorite, and is probably my second favorite still. His song 'Hooveristic trooper' is what introduced me to this music beyond Ryu*'s stuff from DDR and BeatMania, and I will always be thankful for that. Betwixt&Between: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YUtZj8X57Y Dude who died (probably killed himself, sadly) not too long ago. Made some unique poo poo. Hate that he's gone. Minamotoya (源屋): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WcUpLEFUNc Probably my current favorite. Makes the most beautiful poo poo. DJ Genki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QmijdssWi0 He's good. P*Light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UnCzrfYzq0 He's good too. Yukacco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMio15Yo9fE She's as gorgeous as her voice makes her sound. Not a producer, but a singer who works with several of the dudes mentioned above. Also a lot of these dues have soundcloud pages but I only linked the first one because this is getting long and man I need another beer hold up a sec. But if you want the links I can give them? NOTE: Yes there are a long of animus in those related youtube vids. It's Japan. It's gonna happen. I am sorry. I tried to limit it. There are more and if you want more I will tell more but I think maybe that is enough for now otherwise there might be riots. I have been told by European friends that these noises are like from 10 years ago Europe. Fair enough; I wish I had been around for 10 years ago Europe. https://giant.gfycat.com/ThoseAcrobaticCapybara.webm |

It isn't and it makes me sad as hell, I'd kill for some good sharp cheddar (aged for you non-americans). That said, when 90% of the population doesn't know what obesity is, you can't argue with the diet. Also, I have discovered the joy that is Japanese curry. Oh god it is amazing. also raw horse is so much better than you think it is K.
