Thanks for any help.

Depends on what kind of metal you like. You might check out Necrophilia, X Japan, MUCC. I can name other bands if you give me western references.

No, import costs too much for me ... but I'll go to their Munich concert in september :D



Rock anyone?

Inugami CIRCUS-dan - manatsu no yume (it's pretty catchy)
MUCC - Ware, arubeki basho | Zetsubou | Saishu ressha | ... :inlove:
The Candy Spooky Theater - Murder Factory in the Closet (catchy)
Miyavi - Senor Senora Senorita | Coin Lockers Baby | itoshii hito | ...

... I have to stop now because I have to watch MUCC PVs and drool.

I watched the PV on YouTube. A nice pop song. :)

does anyone know where I could find the mp3 of "Ahiru no waltz" by Mayuminu
thanks

Does anyone know of any good file-share sites where I could download Japanese music (J-Pop, enka, etc.).

I'm currently looking for song downloads for Mr. Children and Remioromen. I tried Shareaza and Kazaa, but didn't have much luck.

Would greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, etc.

Thanks! :victory:

ganmo-chan, try http://www.getasianmusic.com/forum/index.php

The forums there have a lot of links to JPOP downloads. (or there's a list of music at http://www.getasianmusic.com/~downloads/Japanese/ )
You could also try http://jpmp3.com

You know JPopSuki's tracker, right? Lot of good and varied material there.

Anime Dad and Hanzo21...thanks very much! It's late in the evening and I'm a bit tired, but I'll check out those sites later.

Greatly appreciate it!! :victory:

I reccomend

Shonen jidai covered by Utada Hikaru

I recommend Bennie K too. The album Japana-Rhythm is quite good. It kind of reminds me of Heartdales.

If you like live music, the Rainbow Pink duet of Sayumi and Koharu have a new song for Christmas : Merry Pink Christmas :bonk:
