the Ocora disc should be pretty easy to find. King Records has been defunct for a while now. both discs are three tracks long and two of the three are the same songs, but have different orchestration. ---------- anyone else like やくしまるえつこ(Etsuko Yakushimaru)? i fell in love with her voice back in 2010 when watching The Tatami Galaxy, used to look forward the ending every week. Penguin Drum theme and the final track from her album last year |

Matt posted a Babymetal video earlier when I questioned whether metal and moe could ever go together.
 I suppose I should have seen it coming.

I will try to locate her records: the Ocore discs should be easy to find in the musical libraries of Paris (well, at least, that's what one can hope!) |

My first contribution for the week is anime soundtrack composer Taku Iwasaki. Usually the anime he scores aren't great (some of them are pretty bad), but his scores are always great and make the anime worth watching.

Another contribution: RURUTIA
Secretive singer/composer whose music is matched by her voice. Though not a technical powerhouse, her tone is amazing and quite unique. Imagine Francoise Hardy as a young Japanese woman. Her dream-pop music can get really trippy at times, blending well with her voice to create a gorgeous atmosphere. The last third of this mini-epic should send This Mortal Coil fans to a sea of ecstasy. Is it me or does the guitar possess that tone like The Moody Blues "Seventh Sojourn" days? Favorite album of hers is 'Promised Land' (masterful), but 'Water Forest' and 'Meme' also have great stuff. Love her. Edited by Prog Sothoth - February 28 2014 at 18:15 |

Nice stuff guys. My second contribution for the week will be Jun Togawa (from Guernica). She made some odd new wave-y stuff in the 80s that I find just delicious.

Japanese non-prog music that I've been listening lately:
1) Junko Ueda playing satsuma biwa music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGXueEatnaE 2) Etsuko Chida (I had the luck to see her play a mini-concert in the City of Music in Paris in december): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQtkV-gQipM |

Level 3 is my favorite too, I think they get better with each album could not believe they could top JPN. Though Game does have Polyrhythm which is the essential Perfume track. All their albums are wonderful.
I love Kyary. Pon Pon Pon is so awesome and the video is just ridiculous. I watched a video where Katy Perry and Kyary meet. Katy was so enthralled with her. KAWAII to the max ha ha!!! Edited by AlexDOM - February 28 2014 at 09:27 |

Perfume are great. My favorite album of theirs is still 'GAME' but their newest (Level 3) is quite good as well.
My contribution will be for those into the garish heavy symphonic metal stuff with a bit of gothic flair: Liv Moon
I'm all about this group, great singing, serious talent, very adventurous:
They can get pretty over-the-top in a way I enjoy
Crazy guitar solo at 2:40
Some nice mellow tunes. This one has an early KATE BUSH vibe (but a bit louder)

I love some Anime and its music. Saw Akira up there, love that movie and own it. Love J Rock and J Pop at least what I have heard.
And this might sound blasphemous, but I like something almost as much as Prog and that is...  PERFUME!!!! I have every album by them and one live dvd! Their latest Level 3 is my favorite album of 2013, even over the wonderful prog releases. It was a masterpiece! Edited by AlexDOM - February 26 2014 at 14:19 |

As a one-time goff, I do like me a slice of visual kei/j-rock, especially if it's OTT in symphonic and gothic melodrama (didn't add Dir en Grey or Black Mages videos to the list as they are on the PA as Porg Bands ... though why is anyone's guess) Shame the CDs are so dogam expensive in the UK. |
