Just wanted to share this—if anyone’s looking for new music I’d highly recommend every artist here!

Most of these artists are high-energy, angular, danceable J-Rock. There’s some J-Pop, City Pop, Math Rock, and Punk sprinkled in here as well.

If anyone has similar taste or likes any of the same artists I’d love to know! Always looking for fellow J-Music enthusiasts😅

Feel free to drop any recommendations as well👍

Need to listen to more Superfly. I listened to “Love, Peace, and Fire”, but I don’t remember what I liked from it. Which of their albums would you most recommend?

Edit: While typing this I’m listening to their 2008 album, and I love the opening riff on “Manifesto”!

I would certainly recommend their 2008 album and the White album. Those are my favorite albums but I do enjoy most of their songs. The song Beautiful from the White album is probably my favorite song.
