Hooked Up. J-Rock-POP

Recently I'm totally bored of my daily life,Literally I just want to discover more new things, While I was surfing on the net, It just came to my mind to find some new music to listen. Well coz I'm just tired of my old music here on my mp3 and loptop. So i checked youtube.com and browse some new trends. I could'nt find anything and nothing interesr me while in on the site, so i decided to watch another anime as I usually do. (Anime fan! n_n) then something just came to my mind. Why I shouldn't try a anime sountrack. There some anime music theme that make sense when you see the English sub lyrics. And then I finally found some interesting new Music that catch my attention. This music genre is called J-ROCK.

J-ROCK is just a nick name for Japan rock music. Well they sounds like other alternative/progressive band. But what catches mu attention is the lyrics, It is sang in Japanese Language so, Basically foreigners like me can't understand words that they are singing, though i knew some words in Japanese. But when you see it in another way, you will find it interesting, thanks for some people on the net those J-Rock can know understand. By adding it an English sub title that gave the English meaning to those words. And there are plenty of Japanese rock band and pop artist out there.

Here are some list of Japanese artist that I find Interest on their songs

AYA HIRANO


This chick got the talent! She can sing, Play instrument, But i don't know if she can dance LOL, But whats amazing from here is, she can make her music such a wonderful song. She is also a dubbing artist in Japan. If you know Konata from LUCKY STAR, and Haruhi Suzumiya from the anime hit MELANCHoLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA, she is the voice behind those character.

Here are some links to her musics:

An cafe



An Cafe was formed in May 2003 with Miku, Kanon and Bou, who would later be joined by Teruki after leaving his former band, Feathers-Blue. The band played live shows for their first year, without any releases.

In 2004, After their PMC failed to gain a strong foothold, An Cafe released their first demos and signed a record deal with Loop Ash. Their first release, "Candyholic", was released in March and reached the second spot on the Oricon indies single chart.[1] The band continued touring and releasing, including their first album, Shikisai Moment, in 2005. The band released even more singles in 2006 until their second studio album, Magnya Carta (a play on "Magna Carta").

In 2007, the band announced their first overseas appearance at Project A-Kon. The announcement of this was followed shortly by the departure of guitarist Bou. The last performance with Bou was on April 30, 2007, and was featured in a DVD titled Hibiya On ☆The☆ 0 New Sekai. After Bou left the band, two new members were announced: Takuya was to replace Bou as the guitarist and Yu-ki was to join An Cafe as a keyboardist. The first single with their new lineup was announced as "Kakusei Heroism" followed by "Ryūsei Rocket". At the end of 2007, An Cafe announced their first overseas tour, taking place in Europe in 2008.

In the opening weeks of 2008, An Cafe announced their upcoming single, "Cherry Saku Yuki!!", in February, as well as their next studio album, Gokutama Rock Cafe, which was released on April 9, 2008.

This guys are crazy from their looks and costumes. But they have a great sense of musicality. they are one of Japans pop Rock band artist that cough my attention. Especially this sigle:

CHERRY SAKU YUUKI:click here


I think this song is about a high school journey after attending it. It make sense for teenagers. It talks about the memories that it leaves and the paths that they choose, walking forward and then making your own path, then meeting with each other hehe sounds dramatic but if you watch its video you'll find it hilarious yet inspiring.

Here is the Lyrics:
