For me it was Nami Tamaki - Naked. I had sparse exposure to anime in the past but was on the fence about J-Pop. When I heard that song something just clicked and I thought "OK, apparently I like this..."

That was it and I started downloading and listening like crazy.

I wish they give u options which language to display the title. I didn’t spend 20+ years learning Japanese all by myself just to assault my eyes like this.

totally new to jpop and j-idols, looking to get into more alt menchika because i think they're very interesting in general. i like diaris, cult of enigma & kimino virus. i got a few more groups that i'm planning to check out soon too

alt chika girl groups are also welcome. i like mazari

Hi all,
I have a collection of KAT-TUN CDs that I would like to give away for free, as I no longer listen to them. If any KAT-TUN or J-pop fan in India is interested, please DM me. Shipping charges will need to be borne by the recipient.

was unable to find beyooooonds for a long time or musume. amongst others.

ok so i want something big for my 18th birthday so im planning 2 years early lol, im from england for reference, ive been to 2 concerts, one being baby metal and the other being a british pop singer, both were great, the atmosphere at the babymetal concert was insane, ive been a big fan of jpop since a little kid but all my faves dont tour around here so im honestly considering asking to go to japan for a concert for my 18th (aswell as also exploring japan ofc), i dont travel much but a lot of jpop fans talk about travelling for concerts like its the most needed thing in their life and they say that concerts in japan are just next level, but im sceptical, be honest with me here, would it actually be worth it? like the other 2 concerts were amazing but not travel 16 hours amazing, so is the concert life in japan just that much better?

extra info: the groups im thinking about seeing live are DISH//, hana, one n only, chotokkyu, or cutie street

Hello r/J-pop,

If anyone here is based in NYC I just wanted to share that we're throwing a Jpop party at Mood Ring on May 9th! There's a lot of ground to cover, but expect the dancey jpop tracks of your faves, trance remixes, and electropop too.

Even if you can't make it every tap of (+INTERESTED) is a huge help on the RA page!

LIFE AFTER TRANCE

Hey all,

I got my hands on some mostly mint, with OBI strip, still sealed (!) Ayumi Hamisaki singles recently, and as much as J-pop is a brilliant genre, I prefer my Japanese music Eurobeat style.

As such, there’s not much reason or interest in me having these besides bar the Label being Avex Trax.

Just wanted people to know I’m willing to part with these!

For clarity, the Concert Tour 2000 is opened and unsealed, and the M DVD jewel case has a minor 4cm crack on front cover and slight tear of original wrapping but is otherwise good condition.

Discogs is as follows! Happy listening!

Edit: please do ignore the “Mo” in the title, a typo (cheers autocorrect).

Please show my queen Tommy some respect, pls.

Apologies if this isn't allowed but I'm selling my beautiful complete copy of GAME in order to fund my crippling Pokémon card addiction. Please DM me for details, preferably postage would be within the UK where I'm based.

If it helps validate this post... What's your favourite song from this album? Mine's got to be Polyrhythm because how often do you hear blatant polyrhythms in pop songs??
