Next week I will be posting their albums. Anzen Chitai is my favorite Japanese rock group and if you don't them you should. Great musicianship, the impressive vocals and dynamic presence of singer Tamaki Koji and some of the best pop songs you will ever hear. This is a best of but trust me when saw that nearly every album is deserving of that title! Enjoy
Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I am back and ready to post!
I came upon this by accident while looking through torrents. This is a Honda composed soundtrack for the 2003 anime feature "茄子 アンダルシアの夏". I unfortunately have never seen the film, but it is directed by prolific animator Kitarō Kōsaka who has worked on nearly every Studio Ghibli feature, Akira, Angel's Egg and two of my favorite anime/manga series, Naoki Urasawa's Monster and Master Keaton.
The film takes place in Spain, following a cyclist who is competing in the Vuelta a España. The music follows suit with a majority of the album having high energy tracks with a strong latin flare. Have no fear fans of Honda's however, for there are several tracks highlighting his fabulous saxophone playing as well. Highly recommended. Enjoy!
A fantastic Japanese folk/Okinawan singer-song writer who I became familiar with because of the anime 夏目友人帳, gotta love those Yokai...I still need to watch season 2! Anyway, the ending theme for the first season was "夏夕空" which is on this album and my favorite track of his! Enjoy!
Sing Like Talking is a fantastic R&B group from Japan that really helped break the mold of what J-pop could be. Following in the footsteps of JADOES & Toshiki Kadomatsu, Sing Like Talking gradually matured into their own distinct sound with each album and vocalist Chikuzen Satou proving to be one of Japan's best pop singers. This is their second album, if someone happens to have their debut, it would be much appreciated! Enjoy and more of theirs will be on here soon as well!
