    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.)

    I may have posted this already.

    So Bain of JUST B just came out as gay.

    No lies, even as a person who pays attention to K-Pop, I have also just heard of these guys, but somehow they were on a US tour...???

    Anyways, unknown if this is a stunt to gain more appeal amongst the ridiculously plentiful LGBTQ+ K-Pop fans that exist or he's going to get eviscerated/destroyed once they're back in Korea, but I'm pretty sure these guys just became the next BTS, but we'll see.

    To me, this is not really on the same level as the ASTRO MoonBin tribute song or the thing where all five NewJeans turned out to be attention-seeking concern trolls, but I feel this is noteworthy to non-K-Pop people as welll.

    Okay, so Eurovison 2025 is kind of underwhelming, every other English song is the worst and I don't suuuper want to deal with them but I've now discovered Melodifestivalen, which is the Swedish contest where they pick the Eurovision participant, and it is great.

    Obviously since the musicians are the popular in Sweden, there tend to be many repeat offenders including this group which participates semi-often, but never with the same lineup...

    As for Eurovision itself, I don't think I've ever heard Ireland do a song that was so "This is extremely Europe".

  • @glennmagusharvey: You're the music theory person here; does AI-generated music sound different to you?

    I do find it different somehow, but I don't quite understand why.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    I haven't really listened to AI-generated music much. I think basically the only time when I knew it was AI-generated was on an NPR segment about AI-generated music a while back.

    In a bit of a crosspost with dream thread, I had a dream in which I listened to some sort of traditional Indian musical take on spaghetti western music. (Curry western?) It was a blast, and I'd watch the shizzle out of that movie even if it had a dancing number at the end. Alas, I'm no GMH, I could not record the tune for posteriority, and all we can do is imagine it all over again.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    i can rarely ever remember tunes that pop up in my head in dreams too

    I wasn't sure if I should post that here or in videos, but in videos the last post is mine, so I settled for here.

    Hey @glennmagusharvey. I found a fun thing, search engines that look out similar music for you. I remember that on a few occasions you were looking for a name of some tune you only knew as a melody, perhaps this'll help you next time.

    looks like these sorts of sites -- or rather, the databases that enable them -- have gotten somewhat better at including j-pop/anisong and classical music over the years

    So, I've just learned of this band:
    801935.jpg?4041
    and of course they're some nazi sh#t, because of course they are, and the aliens they want out probably aren't from space either, but it got me curious. Are there other aliens-themed metal bands? Let's see...

    Well, of all the thing I could fault them for, I can't fault them for not sticking to their choices of themes, I guess.

    Phyllomedusa

    Country of origin: United States
    Location: New York, New York (early); Annapolis, Maryland (later)
    Status: Active
    Formed in: 2007

    Genre: Gorenoise, Various
    Themes: Frogs, Amphibian superiority, Animal rights, Environmentalism, Misanthropy
    Current label: Hypyractyv Larynx Frogquencies

    Years active: 2007-present
    Most of the artist's output consists of gorenoise, with an occasional fusion of various styles, such as sludge/doom metal, slam/brutal death metal, raw black metal, or harsh noise.

    The artist dubs his musical genre as "frognoise", a unique style of gorenoise that implements field recordings of animal sounds, specifically of frogs and toads.

    Big Frog runs the Hypyractyv Larynx Frogquencies label, through which most of the band's music is published.
