    There is love everywhere, I already know
    So anyways, I love German music in addition to Japanese music, and I also frequently listen to Kidz Bop versions of English songs because I don't really like non-G-rated music much.

    Imagine my surprise when I found out Kidz Bop has a German division, and they cover Wincent Weiss and Max Giesinger songs! I mean, it's not 100% necessary but, like, such fun!

    Though ngl it feels a bit much to be covering a musician with a style as mature as Max Giesinger.

    If they get some Gregor Hagele songs or Luca Hanni songs on here, I'll be all set.

    They reached a discontinuity.
    Their path was not smooth.
    They could not sustain their image.
    They could not relate to their fans.

    It was weird to find out that BRIGHT, who had a somewhat long career (okay, it was just 2008 to 2013 which overall is a medium-term career but longer than a lot of people) in Japanese music, seemed to never break out of poor sales during their career, even with their signature songs and singles.

    Also that there was once a Japanese version of Rain (who was also Korean) that went by the name K.

    I also learned that Shimizu Shota was once in an embarrassingly adorable R&B boy band.

    @glennmagusharvey, you know about Ys and Atelier music. Any tracks you would recommend?

    @glennmagusharvey, you know about Ys and Atelier music. Any tracks you would recommend?
    Ys music I know better. Atelier music I don't know as well.

    Basically the entire soundtracks for the modern (2003 onward) Ys games are awesome. I only personally know a few of the games (i.e. basically none of the more recent ones), but here are some highlights:

    Ys VI: the Ark of Napishtim
    * Quatera Woods
    * Ruins of Amnesia
    * The Zemeth Sanctum
    * Pressure Stairs (a more ambient track)
    * Black Ark Unveiled (a rather unusual track)

    Ys: the Oath in Felghana
    * The Boy's Got Wings (a.k.a. The Boy Who Had Wings)
    * Illburns Rins
    * A Searing Struggle
    * Snare of Darkness
    * Valestein Castle or Seal of Time (I'm listing both together because these aren't my favorites but they're still decent and apparently everyone else loves Valestein Castle)
    * Beat of Destruction
    * Premonition

    Ys Origin
    Basically the entire soundtrack. Seriously this is one of my favorite soundtrack of all time. But I promised highlights, so...
    * Roda
    * Bonds With Companion
    * Tower of the Shadow of Death (this track appears in Ys 1 but I prefer this version)
    * Water Prison
    * Scarlet Tempest
    * Samsara and Paramnesia
    * Scars of the Divine Wing
    * So Much For Today (even the game over theme is beautiful...)
    * Prelude to the Omen
    * My Lord, Our Brave
    * The Pain of Separation
    * Memory of Salmon (it's supposed to be "Memory of Solomon" lol)
    * Genesis Beyond the Beginning or Beyond the Beginning (basically three versions of the same track; the in-game dungeon version uses different instrumentation while the outtro track is a longer version of the intro track. the shorter (2:20) version from the game's opening might be the best for independent standalone listening.)

    Ys I
    * Fountain of Love
    * The Last Moment of the Dark

    Ys II
    * To Make the End of Battle (another perennial favorite)

    Atelier Sophie
    * Campanella of Sun through Trees
    * Spring Wind Skylark

    Atelier Sophie
    * Spring Bird, a.k.a. Warbler

    Atelier Meruru
    * Terminus for Meruru (I'm not entirely sure which game this comes from but I presume it's the one with the same name. there's also another version of this track, just called "Terminus", which I think is on the soundtrack of Atelier Totori, but it's not as epic as this version.)
