I have no idea what genre (pic related) is other than jazz + trad. japanese music. Do you guys know of albums that are equally good? Through the looking glass by Midori Takeda and Ecophony Gaia by Geinoh Yamashirogumi are also nice but different.
I was just listening to Mariah last night! Shimizu's stuff is so interesting. I just wish Kakashi was cheap(er) on vinyl...
Jacob Morgan
I know right, do you have other Shimizu albums to recommend?

Owen Brooks
This is a great album that's all over the place genre wise. Made by a guy from Fishmans
Nolan Campbell
no
Henry Martin
The only other one I have of his is Music for Commercials; I found it at a random music store in Japan. I haven't really ran into other stuff that sounds like Shimizu, sadly. The most eclectic Japanese stuff I've found besides him would be -Karuki Zamen Kuri no Hana by Sheena Ringo and -all of the albums by Flipper's Guitar (although Colour Me Pop is a great way to get into them).
Mason Scott
meh, was looking for jazzy stuff the main criteria was actually just exotic sounds, japanese instruments and singing, not just japanese songs
Robert White
>I haven't really ran into other stuff that sounds like Shimizu, sadly. There's plenty
Chakra, After Dinner, Killing Time, Unita Minima, Arepos, Wha-Ha-Ha, Kiyohiko Semba/Haniwa, etc.
WowwwWow some DEEP CUTS right here!! we never have threads about these JAPANESE (non-J-pop of course fuck that gay shit) ARTISTS. What you have linked is far superior to the J-pop drivel that im sure all weeaboos listen to, lets instead circle jerk over the same 8 artists in every thread
Andrew Taylor
Is it a mashup album or something?
Owen Ortiz
>Made by a guy from Fishmans wat its real psychedelic
Eli Perry
Thanks user, not sure if sarcastic but I'll accept that as a compliment. I was actually worried that the albums I posted were a little entry level :x
Sound interesting, has a childish flavor to it with the girl singing in the first song, and second also I guess
David Carter
Wiki says it's "Shibuya-kei". Whatever that is, the best way to find out is just to listen more I guess.
it recommends based on what the user watch, it's a positive feedback loop good music will eventually rise to the top, so will catchy titles and good looking thumbnails like cats on red
can you folks recommend some good fusion stuff? yeah I already know Casiopea
Aaron Reyes
Kazumi Watanabe - Kylyn
Charles Roberts
J-Pop is good too. Shouldn't be so close-minded desu
Cameron Morgan
literally youtube rec core
Nathan Torres
T-Square/The Square, Shakatak
That's really the light end of Weather Channel fusion though. Cool people listen to Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Jason Ward
I know, see:
Levi Scott
Not to continue beating the dead horse but how did that cat album end up in everyone's youtube queue like Plantasia did?
Parker Myers
If something gets a lot of traffic over a short span of time it gets automatically added to more people's recommendations.
Hosono's "watering a flower" thing got the same treatment, and Ryo Fukui and Taeko Onuki and whatever else
Carter King
Also how did I forget Ryo Fukui, Scenery is absolutely amazing. Any other Japanese jazz piano you can recommend?
Nicholas Davis

Anthony Rodriguez
whoops wrong quote, but you get the idea
Michael King
I dunno, Yuji Takahashi is great but maybe not what you're looking for. Kazuto Shimizu is also great but he doesn't have a lot of solo material.
Juan Thompson
the "good music will eventually rise to the top" part really isn't true though
Angel Thompson
I meant that as in, music that people liked after they clicked on it will continue to circulate youtube measures watchtime and stuff, and what path you take through the video's
but you're right, it's actually attractive titles and thumbnails are are key to succes anime titties, japanese characters, sentences as titles preferably out of context example: "by the way, I never asked how your love life was" and cats on red, very signalling color, recognizable figure but somewhat stylized and weird faces of people, mouths and eyes open wide means extra views from children/teenagers screaming text, this is already beyond music and more just clickbaity stuff
Lucas Hernandez
Uchuu Konbini was a great little band that only made 1-2 albums and 1-2 EPs before disbanding.
