Recommend some JP bands/artists :V

I'm more into the seiyuu side of JP music (as in, I tend to listen more to seiyuu who double as singers) so maybe you can try checking out:

  • Kaji Yuuki
  • Kakihara Tetsuya (his newer songs are really good)
  • Horie Yui (I like her better as an artist than a seiyuu)

ELISA recently came back from hiatus and released a new single, Soba ni Iru Yo, for the second ED of Valvrave. Her voice is really soft and soothing; if I were to describe it, it's like creamy chocolate that's been melted for spreading, kind of like butter lol. You should definitely give her a listen.

Yanagi Nagi also gets a special mention because I'm a Nagi fangirl extraordinaire and she's the queen of my heart <3 She has such a wide vocal range and can sing anything from fun, light-hearted songs

to songs that'll make you depressed and question the meaning of life. Okay, not really, but some of her songs are really deep and make you think.

She also came out with her first debut album earlier this month, which include some original songs, pieces from her previous singles, and even covers (i.e. Rurouni Kenshin's 1/2 and even a song from The Pillows). I unfortunately have not been able to get my hands on her first album because lolwhatismoney, but I've heard samples and judging from her previous works, it's definitely worth the try.

Errrr this post ended up being longer than I thought so I think I'll just stop here before I endlessly gush about how amazing Yanagi Nagi.

From the few that i hear usually and are not anime related (at least as far as i know) there is Go!Go!7188.

Besides that, i would say:

-Kanako Itou

-Minami Kuribayashi

-Shizuka Itou

-Maaya Sakamoto

-Shikata Akiko

-Katakiri Rekka

-Miyuki Hashimoto

Or sometimes I hear games music, like things of Daisuke Ishiwatari or remixes from Demetori and IOSYS.

But I don't know if you'll like any of these. tongue.gif

if you don't mind "heavy" stuff, you can check out 周平 (or Shuhei), they released a free full album a while back of rock/metal covers of popular vocaloid songs and its pretty good :D

EDIT: tried to link to the website hosting their album for download, but its down :/ you can check it out on youtube tho (

Kano (鹿乃) is a pretty good singer on nicovideo

whoo is another good artist his music always gives a strange vibe

Natsumi Kiyoura: She's probably best known for Tabi no Tochuu, the OP for Spice and Wolf Season 1.

Tabi no Tochuu:

fripSide: They've been making songs for animes and VNs. For example, they made both OPs for the two seasons of Toaru Railgun.

EGOIST: Pretty much supercell, but EGOIST, I believe, has a different singer.

I've been listening to lots of Uverworld and Chemistry lately, so I guess I'll recommend them. For reference, Chemistry did the opening song for Valkyria Chronicles 2 (got scrapped in the English version), while Uverworld did stuff like one of the openings of Gundam 00 or D Gray Man.
