Hi there! If you are into French bands, you should lend an ear to Tahiti 80 (pop with English lyrics). They seem to be even more popular in Japan than in France

Hey, thanks for the add!

Hello~ Thank you very much for the add! Super Compatibility that features shared artists like Yellow Magic Orchestra, Haruomi Hosono, Kirinji and Denki Groove is a wonderful thing.. You have excellent taste in music ♥

Hi dear my friend! recently I'm being fond of a Japanese band 'Happy End'.

thanks! i didn´t knew those bands, i like them... recommend more to me! i want to hear people singing in japanese! :D

i want to listen some japanese bands, can you recommend something to me?

they are really popular in latinamerica... but, hey! you're from japan and you like café tacuba?? we have to be friends!

Shame, but it's fine you got it all the same. How do you like it? wanna discuss it on the group? Sorry it's all in french but english is welcome as well, don't bother please. cheers

hi

Oops.... sorry I totally forgot to pass it on to you, forgive me. I'm glad you've got it now. He's not that popular in France apparently, although we can find most of his albums in big stores. It seems he doesn't promote them at all, no advertisement or such. But how come you know him from over there?

あー　もしかしてremixなのかな。。XTC入ってるんですか？笑　わかんないです　w　XTCだいすきですけどあんま聴けてないのです〜

8tracks聴いてくださってありがとうございます☆一番最初のは自画自賛なのですが（笑）あとのふたつはテキトーでだめっす。。yazoo入ってないですよ？。。。

こんにちわ☆ドミニコだいすきです☆Kassin+2から入りましたよ☆Perfumeはいまmixiでは8000回になっているのですが。。よくわからないです　笑

So then, couldn't you get Boogaerts' new album? It's fab

actually yes - there are some restaurants and shops dedicated to Japanese food but I'm not sure if do they have a lot in common with original Japanese gastronomy >.> I've read an Polish article where someone was trying to prepare miso soup ... the effect was rather pitty ^ ^" and from that time I've been rather sceptic about Polish quality of Japanese dishes >.> .. maybe that's why a horsemeat is not so popular here :) And my favourite film of Roman Polański is The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp, based on book by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Brillant story :D By the way -I love Haruki Murakami's novels :D ... Yep, I think Poland has some good achievments :) Do you know an skijumper - Adam Małysz?A competition in Hakuba is a part of Cup in winter and I've heard he is called Malishito-san there ^---^ ... About this "japan-boom" - I completely hate it. I mean this whole people's attitude behind it. "I love Japan because I know Dir en Grey" - pathetic --" Just a periodical fad I hope ;_;

Hi ^.^ India studies are very interesting but I can't force myself to prceive them as a passsion. I'm very ambitious and I know i can do my best - but only when I really love what I do. Why Japan? Well, first of all - language. It impressed me by its complexity and way of sound ( that's why i'm so interested in j-music ). Moreover I really appreciate, let say 'world-view' - Japanese philosophy, literature, movies.They are full of profoundity .But of course I like some more prosaic things too :) Gastronomy - for exemple sushi and soba noddles I don't like noddles but these are delicious ^_^You have interesting than, I guess :) I'm not into technological matters unfortunately but my brother works for London comany making games for mobilephones. I haven't been in Warszawa yet but I hope it'll change. I'm glad to hear that you want to know more about Poland:) I think people here are open, spontaneous and sociable mostly.Honey is nice song :DAnd what music do you like the most?I know Prince

Hi :) Thanks for your comment. I'm actually English (speak a moderate amount of Japanese) and haven't yet been to Japan (but I'm working on it). 植松伸夫 is the composer behind the Final Fantasy series :D I love video game music. Have a nice day!

Indded - personally I think Cracow is one the most beautiful Polish cities... though it's not my hometown - I'm just studying here ( an Indology on Jagiellonian University, after I didn't get on the specialization related to Japan T__T buuuuut ... I don't give up :) What's left if we give up dreams? ... And back to the music ... I don't really know what might think Japanese fans of Laruku but after I noticed that Vamps ( a brand new band of HYDE - I suppose you know :) made goods from their official goods store accessible to order to Poland, they (I mean Laruku) might be aware of the situation themselves - what is far more profitable I think :) ... I'm not sure if Laruku is a HARD rock band - in comparison with gropus like D'espairsRay or (early) MUCC, their music is rather light ... closer to hard rock was HYDE himself on his solo album "Faith" ... All in all I'm glad you know at least some songs and I recommend you to get a closer look ;) ... And what about you?

Yeah I do love M.Gainsbourg's music. The song 'Melody' is pure beauty in itself. What a genius M. Gainsbourg to make this song. Song's funky bass line and his spoken-word-like lyric is very brilliant. I enjoyed the album Odelay for a while, but actually his first album(Is it Mellow Gold? which contains an anthem 'Loser') did not suit me. Maybe I'll had a chance to listen to the another his great albums too. Gainsbourg's songs in 'Histoire de Melody Nelson' are all great. My another favorite song of him is 'Bonnie and Clyde' whicn he sang with BB.

Hellooo :) well I think j-rock (mostly) is quite popular in Poland right now but honestly - only in some groups of people immesrsed into it - I mean our massmedia rather aren't interested in spreading it on tv, redio etc. ... it doesn't matter for me, anyway :) i'm glad i descovered Your music (especially Laruku - i've been completely delighted by their artwork for something about 3 years... ) by myself and that's enough ... actually the music and many more things but that's different story ;) Regards from Cracow

hahaha I think the figure is calculated by the main tags. that's why the rates is so high. It is said..."Method ; For each of these users, we construct their tag vectors. A tag vector is a highly dimensional vector where each dimension denotes a tag used for the user's top artists, and the value of the element at that dimension denotes the importance of the tag in the user's listening profile. A tag cloud is the textual depiction of such a tag vector" You can get more details if you click to that figure 62.19%. There shows some shared tag cloud. the tags 'alternative' and 'indie' are the biggest ones. (I think these tags are quite cliched but...)

Mhm, our nature is lovely, really. I've explored quite a bit of it, but I still have to climb those Rockies.

Yeah, you're right ! I like long tracks too for that, enjoy :-) xoxo

Our musical preferences are [url=http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/compare.php?user1=dadadda&user2=slgma&type=overall] 62.19%[/url] similar! lol it's funny

nothing is too heavy to listen. :)

oh, yes, Metric is really good. you'd probably like Stars, too. (and they're canadian! haha)

Well, I don't listen MJ so much, but sometimes. You should try to listen some songs on my playlist :)

Hi ! I love this track too. I also like long tracks because they permit you to reach some nice floating / or hypnotic states of mind. If you like this style, you may also for example try to listen to Aidan Baker (seems it envelop you into liquid sounds) or Aural Holograms (a bit more strange and dark). See u.

Hi ! thanks for your message (i answer now because i was in holidays). I'm sensitive to japanese culture. HG is for the funny note :-) bye.

hmm, never heard of him, I need to do some research! I don't think french music is that popular in Canada, but maybe in Quebec--but my friends listen to it.

^___^ thanks!

oh yes, I like it very much. and Edith Piaf as well! but that's a different era. I've been looking from Claude Francois for ages now, though, and can't seem to find anything.

mhm, I just downloaded this album, after months of forgetting to. it's lovely lovely.

sadly, I got an normal grade in the check. Anyway, today the sky of Seoul was so high and clean. It becomes much cooler here. Breezes becomes colder. Maybe the time for listening to "Autumne Leaves" is coming. lol.

I read an article that US dollar's being weak worldwidely, (there may be a few exception,,,anyway) but only Korean Won is getting weak simultaneously. (it's about politics)I think that the government failed in the economic policies. Another cultural difference one more ;D - I went to an office to check my health. It's for the military service.

As for me, there are many original singers in Japan . Yes, I think we're very similar, but at the same time very different from each other. Hooo...these days the exchange rate between Won and Dollar has risen steeply, it's really hard to get some CDs abroad. Usually, ordering foreign albums from abroad is cheapr than buying them in Korea. but I hate the high exchange rates. I heard that only Korea's rates has grown up. how about Japan?

thanks for joining the group!!

oh I was wrong. lol It was Jim, not Thurston. I saw it on Wikipedia at the Togawa's page. It's a surprising news for me that Jim moved to Tokyo. Thanx for your recommendation. I've been hesitating to buy his famous works (like Insignificance or Eureka). I'm gonna order them with other CDs. haha I agree with you that BoA is cute. She's trying to knock on American market like Utada Hikaru, but i'm not sure of her success. maybe she will do it well.

hey dadadda, why can't you join [group]Mathieu Boogaerts[/group] then??

konichiwa! yeah i've been listening to some japanese music, not so much though. do you have any good artist to recomend me? i really love cornelius, i saw him live once and that was great. greetings from berlin

Sapporo! (actually all I know about Sapporo is Sapporo beer with a big star on its label;D). I think I've found her name on a Korean commuity. (It was just a glance but)Since I have interest on Japanese artists, I didn't hestitate to listen to her music. And I saw that she had collaborated with Thurston of Sonic Youth. (or at least some kind of relationship) .

hi, today I found an very interesting Japanese artist. Her name is Jun Togawa, her music is somewhat combination of post-punk and geeky synthpop . It is kind of something really eccentric. I like listening to her music. how do you think of her?

yes hope he makes a world tour soon or something :D. Hey wow! a 4000 tracks in a week how could you possibly do that's not human, bravo though, well done mate :)
