There are (and was) tons of great smaller bands in Japan. It's a shame people only know about the terrible metal music and idolshit anime music.
I'm mostly into noise and experimental stuff. Starting with these 2.

There is no 'underground' in 2018, nig.
wrong, it's just that underground breaks out the instant someone posts a halfway poppy song from their scene on youtube
the underground is a lot more ephemeral and shitty these days due to technology and accessibility, but is very much still there
what the fuck are you on about? Sup Forums loves
>Boris
>Nujabes
>Les Rallizes
>Fishmans
>Boredoms
>Midori
and that's the super popular stuff. get your head out of your ass
>the underground is a lot more ephemeral
I wouldn't have it any other way desu. The more flexible and transient the underground is, the harder is for the mainstream to latch onto it.
>terrible metal
listen to corrupted and tell me it's terrible
thats why I said more underground stuff faglord. Borris? Entry level shit lmao.
> Popular shit is garbage
Teenager who just discovered Sup Forums detected.
Midori is also entry level shit cunt
I know. I opened my mu picture folder and picked that. I never said it wasn't son.
Your counter to Japanese metal, which includes bands like:
Sabbat
Sigh
Boris
Corrupted
Dir En Grey
Flower Travellin Band
X Japan
Church Of Misery
All who have released some of the most creative and unique works in the genre, is generic as fuck indie pop and noise rock?
Not to mention that what said is true not only for Sup Forums but a lot of the music internet. There are other lesser known bands, too like shoegaze outfit burrrn that gets a lot of respect in its respective circle.
Then don't act superior kid. So far you haven't shown you know anything about the underground outside of Sup Forums memes.
>jazzpunk
damn that first track is bretty sweet
In respect to the metal scene, I was mostly referring to things like Girugamesh and baby metal.
Seems to have a very large following.
I have heard a few japanese metal bands that were more akin to pagan black metal but not really my thing.
What about Japan screamo?

I know right?
nigga did i not post heaven in her arms
that shit is the primest japanscreamo i ever did hear
Midori is not entry level concidering the vocals alone will scare off 99% of potential listeners alone. They arent super expirimental and they have their poppier songs but overall they are very niche.
Do you happen to have a download of the Num? Can't find any more of their music online aside from live shows, only CDs to import.
I do. I havent used file hosting sites in years though. Any you can recommend?
Dunno. People here mostly use mega
Luminous Orange is the best thing to come out of Japan.

I've known about them for a while. I've only heard drop you vivid colours. It's good and worth a listen but it's not something I find myself coming back to ever.
Closest thing to shoegaze I know is Rin Toshite Sigure. Not crazy of their newer stuff but they still went pretty popular. TK's side project seems to be taking precedence.
Try this?
mega.nz
>mega.nz
That just redirects to my cloud drive. You have to get a sharable link to the file
I feel super bad pestering you, but that's just an empty folder. Maybe try something like zippyshare?
Try the link again. I think i fixed it.
Japan has some good shoegaze

Thaks senpai, much appreciated.
Someone showed me this a while back and I think it's pretty great. I'm interested in anything similar.
idiot oclock
That's not very nice.
thats the bands name
Oh, now I actually do feel like an idiot.
This is pretty sweet.
You’ve clearly never been to Tokyo
Why are you listing popular well known bands in a thread about underground bands?
Ling Toshite Shigure isn’t even close to shoegaze, do you even know what shiegaze is? Jesus, even Geek sheep sleep is closer to shoegaze than them. Holy fuck.
To be on topic, I enjoy WonderLand’s take on the Nirvana sound, Old Lacy Bed has a nice take on twee pop, and Recoride is doing some fun stuff on the electro side, gun band to see live.

monitoring this thread
Do you not think even a few of their older songs have shoegaze influences in them? I do not know shit about shoegaze.
>none of these are considered underground
youtube.com
Can you guys recommend some good less-known japansese hip-hop?
No, it’s mostly post hardcore. The guitarwork always remind me of the Fall of Troy.
youtube.com
good song.
Yomeiriland
fire
dont samefag retard
>none of these
Are you sure?
The only ones I'd consider non-underground because I think at one point they were major (then went indies again) are Cali=Gari and Inugami.
The rest are all pretty underground, especially stuff like Macaroni or Nageki Shito (the later only released a few demo tapes)
rude
Agreed. Still post hardcore. I own their discography, good band, sad to see them dropping the ball as of late. Money talks.
very rude
I really like andymori

doping panda

HY and a bunch of other bands like that. It's nothing revolutionary, just nice pop music
Okay, this thread is for UNDERGROUND bands. just because you stumbled upon a youtube video of a band you had not heard of before AS A FOREIGNER, does not make the band underground.
Show us all you know then if you're so smart.
>he thinks he listens to "underground" music but he only listens to bands from the 2010s
lol
The only thing I have to do to discredit you is to point out the fact that Doping Panda is signed to Sony. I had no idea underground bands were being signed by Sony wow. Stay on topic or fuck off with your ignorant teenage self.
I’m not sure you even know what an underground band is. Filtered and ignored.
Isn't it music played on subways?
>it's relatively well known on Sup Forums so that means it's entry level
Midori is entry level for Japanese alt rock now just as much as Melt Banana is. Those are going to be the first suggestions most people will get. We aren’t considering suggestions from normies here, they would not even know where to start with when it comes to Japanese bands.
Why do people automatically associate everything from Japan to anime? It's not like everything from mexico are tacos, I guess not everything from Japan is Anime.
Because most causuals only Japanese experience comes from anime aired on TV or news stories about robots that they see on their Facebook feed.
What do you mean "people"?
I posted a bunch of stuff itt, and none of it is related to anime.
Anyway, anime (but especially manga) is part of japanese culture, my favorite artist is obsessed with Doraemon.
They are, but they are also one of the best bands to ever come out of Japan. If not the best, actually.
No, that would be Yellow Magic Orchestra, you can thank them for modern day electronic music and the increase in pop music quality that Japan experienced thanks to the memebers production work with other artists.
ha
But which band is as good as melt banana?
Depends on what you want. Do you want more noise oriented music with less structure? Check out Hijokaidan.
You mean this:youtube.com
I was listening to that the other day and it was painful to hear.
They have a large collection and have done a lot of collabs, it’s worth sorting through. Without more specification I don’t know what to suggest. Give G.I.S.M a try.
Mass of the Fermenting Dregs is worth checking out, you might like them
Post music
youtube.com
Shit, I really need to get into YMO. What are their best records?
This is the most weeaboo post I've ever seen on Sup Forums.
>What is Kraftwerk.
Japan has a fucking sick metal and punk scene what the fuck are you on
check these
Death Side
Die You Bastard!
SOB
Lip Cream
GISM
Gastunk
Disclose
Anatomia
Coffins
Butcher ABC
Loudness
Sabbat as previous user said
C.S.S.O. is some weird psychedelic grind n roll thing
LIE (or LxIxEx if you want to be cool)
Warhead
there's even more, these are just off the top of my head
anyone remember that trad metal band with d-beats whose name was quest object protect or something like that? album cover was a black and white energy station with blue text
You don’t know much about the history of Japanese music, do you?
Both Kraftwerk and YMO are equally influential, but the YMO guys actually went on to produce pop music as well.
Both bands also have collaborated together a number of times.
Listen to them all, start with their first.
Try The Novembers. Pretty good shoegazy noise rock. Never saw anyone mention them before on here.
NONE OF THEM
Sadly, this is the case
>it's terrible that weeb shit is popular
>here's some weebshit I like
neck yourself, you faggots are the worst and you aren't special fuckin weeb.
Try Otomo Yoshihide, you will never run out of great experimental music from Otomo and related artists
What about alternative idol tho?
Are Billie-Idle alternative?
I like their Uchoten cover
youtube.com
Yeah, and actually the original group from which they were spawned (BiS) are the quintessentiall alt idol band
The Dresscodes

batman winks

bis is cool
youtu.be
One of my favorites
>funk, punk
BiS is in NO WAY underground
Neither is BiSH, in no way is BiSH underground
Neither is Billie Idle
How fucking retarded can you mongs be?
Neither are 90% of the bands posted itt, so why don't you contribute with something?
I already did and I’m making sure that no normie retard Johnny or Su look up those groups thinking they are underground because they came across them on a thread about UNDERGROUND Japanese groups.
Punk: Deadly Piles
Pop Punk: The Porter
Metal: Bilo’u
Rock: Toranoko Rammy
Thanks but i'll stick to my babymetal.
another user here to thank you. this is sounding great
this desu
the gerogerigegege is fire
sure there is. you can't watch everything on youtube
I live in Tokyo, where can I go to watch some pop punk or metal/ indie bands ? not interested in a gig that costs 5000yen for a small unheard of band. bon jovi ticket probably costs that.
google just links to normie web blogs.
