What Japanese artists have you folks seen live? Living in the U.S. I haven't seen a ton, and those I have seen are pretty typical. But I'm lucky enough to be in an often-toured city and within driving distance of another, so I can't complain. Polysics x1 Envy x1 Mono x1 Shonen Knife x2 Acid Mothers Temple x2 Boris x4 Melt-Banana x5 I missed out on Buffalo Daughter twice, but in very different ways. One time, I was going to see them with loving Yellow Magic Orchestra but I had poo poo come up that I could not ignore so I had to ditch my ticket. The other time, they were billed to open for Blonde Redhead. In line at the show there was word going around that something with their passports got hosed up so they were missing a few dates and some other band was going to open, but nobody knew who. Well, a band takes the stage and hey it's The Mars Volta. It was at a tiny hole-in-the-wall venue with low ceilings about six or seven months before De-Loused came out.

Ichiko Aoba is great music for spacing out and lying around in the sun on a nice day.

ElNarez posted:hey japanese music thread, what's a thing you've discovered in 2016 that you think is cool and good? Definitely Seiko Oomori. I had heard of her before but for whatever reason just never got around to checking her out. Turned out that Tokyo Black Hole is just too good of an album to ignore. Easily one of the best albums of the year. Now I've been digging around the rest of her catalog. She's a powerhouse. Incredible songwriter. It's hard not to love that she's used the idol image as a masquerade costume for her subversive tendencies. Her general feistiness resembles the spirit of early Ringo and Togawa (as well as recent Togawa, surprisingly...what an unexpected zombie comeback year for her). She's already back in the studio, too. loving relentless. No word on what it's for, though. Also made a last minute discovery of BPM15Q at the very end of December. They're a blast.

Seeing Melt-Banana live should be a requirement as a human being if they play within 20 miles of you.
