MÚSICA 2016

Hacía tiempo que no colgábamos nada de música y por eso vamos a colgar una serie de vídeos de lo que se escucha en Japón últimamente, intentando abarcar diferentes estilos de música.

Comenzaremos, en este primer post, por el Jpop y sus diferentes derivadas, ramas o como queráis definirlo.

 

Lo que la Wikipedia nos dice de las E-girls es los siguiente:

E-girls is a 20-member, Japanese, collective girl group signed to record company Rhythm Zone and managed by LDH and Avex Trax. It features all the members of the groups Dream, Happiness, Flower, and three original members who debuted as part of the group. They are the sister unit of the Japanese boy-band, Exile. The group name stands for Exile Girls Unit and Girls Entertainment Project.  

La contrapartida o versión masculina son los J Soul Brothers:+
The J Soul Brothers are a Japanese music group formed in 1998. The group is managed by LDH, and is signed to the Avex Group record label Rhythm Zone. The J Soul Brothers spawned three generations, with their most recognizable lineup being its third generation, the Sandaime J Soul Brothers.

 

Otro artista que traemos es Daichi Miura, la Wikipedia nos dice:

 Miura debuted as a singer in 1997 with the group Folder, consisting of students from Okinawa Actors School, which he attended. He left the group in 2000 due to his voice changing as a result of puberty. On August 1, 2004, he declared he would come back as a solo artist, and did so in March 2005 with the single "Keep It Goin' On." Since his solo debut, he has released 18 singles and 5 albums.

 

 

En un estilo menos "maquinero" o "housero" está Alexandros, que según la Wikipedia:

Alexandros (アレキサンドロス Arekisandorosu?), stylized as [Alexandros] is a Japanese rock band, signed to RX-Records and managed by UK Project. From 28 March 2014, the band has renamed as [Alexandros] from [Champagne] due to the request from Bureau du Champagne, Japan.
On November 28, 2014, it was announced that the band would be signed to Universal Music Japan, starting from their single Wataridori / Dracula la (ワタリドリ/Dracula la?) that was released in 2015. Subsequent album and singles since 2015 have been released by Universal Music.
 

 

Y como intentamos tocar todos los palos, de corte más indie -e incluso irlandés- aparecen Sekai no Owari, y ¿qué dice la Wikipedia sobre ellos?
Sekai no Owari (literally means End of the World, stylized as SEKAI NO OWARI) is a band, originating from Tokyo. The band was created in 2007 and consists of four members: Nakajin, Fukase, Saori, and DJ Love. Since their debut they have released 3 albums and various singles as well as featuring in their own documentary film 'TOKYO FANTASY'.
The band has performed at the renowned Nissan Stadium, Japan's largest concert venue and are currently considered to be one of the biggest music acts from Japan. Their live performances and concerts are also subject to praise being considered one of the most highest quality produced musical events worldwide often being compared with music festivals such as tomorrowland and ultra music festival.
 The band's members have also produced and wrote other content for several Japanese singers and groups and lead vocalist Fukase has inspired a synthesized Vocaloid character of himself. In 2016 the band announced their plans to debut internationally with an English language album currently in production and expected to be released in 2017. The band has previously collaborated with other world-known artists such as Owl City and Nicky Romero.

 

 Y esto es una pequeñísima muestra de lo que se "cuece" por Japón, en siguientes post os contaremos y subiremos vídeos de otros estilos, eso sí, como siempre muy "alajaponesa".
