If you are by any chance interested in joining this place and becoming a guest poster, than feel free to pm me and I will do that as fast as I can.
Well here is a video of Younha, one of my favorite Japanese artists. This song is Ima ga Daisuki, a really great song with beautiful piano notes. Well, enjoy!
Hey everyone! Here is a video I wanted to share with you all. I think it's a good song, and I found it on iTunes, but apparently, she doesn't have that many albums out yet. But she is good, so give her a listen, oaky? Enjoy.
Well, to start off my first post here on The J-Revolution, here is one of my most favorite bands Base Ball Bear. I first fell in love with them when their song “Dramatic” was placed as the opening for the anime version of “Ookiku Furikabutte” in April 2007 and have been listening to them since.
members (L-R): Shiori Sekine, Daisuke Horinouchi, Yūsuke Koide, Shōhei Yuasa
Brief history lesson:
Base Ball Bear (ベースボールベアー?) is a rock/pop band from Tokyo, Japan that formally began in 2002, although the members assembled in the autumn of 2001 under the name “Planets”, loosely based off of a song by SUPERCAR, under the same name. The band’s current name is also based off a song’s title, with them adding the word “bear” in it. The band made its major debut in early 2006. Their style influences include Japanese bands Number Girl and SUPERCAR, and British rock/pop bands such as Oasis. Base Ball Bear is recognized for the "nostalgic" feel of Koide's lyrics, often about teenage life and memories. They are also known for their contributions to the soundtrack and cast of the movie Linda Linda Linda, Ōokiku Furikabutte, and now for the ending theme of the going to be released anime “Toshokan Sensō” which will air on April 11th this year.
