Japanese Music

MySpace Music sites and Youtube music videos are a good way to stay in free music as well as challenge your listening skills.

Here are some of my favorite groups in Japan.

SHUGO TOKUMARU

MORIYAMA NAOTARO

If you can get over some of the cheese, this is good stuff. He records everything in one take for the music videos, so he’s got that going for him, which is nice.

“Natsu no Owari”

“Sakura”

THE BOOM

“Shimauta”

This song is the boom. I don’t know if this video was made for karaoke boxes or inspired by them, but either way, this song is a karaoke favorite, at least down in Kyushu, and brings back the memories. Be inspired!

BEGIN

“Shimanjunu takara”

This okinawa song by Begin is my all-time karaoke favorite. Couldn’t find the music video for it, but this has a karaoke style slide show and subtitles. I feel like I may actually have sung to this slide show once. The holy grail of Youtube, knew it was out there.
