A Japanese newspaper’s ranking of the top karaoke tunes most loved by Japanese under-20s has proven so dominated by Vocaloid and anison classics and so bereft of mass-manufactured idol groups that some have begun to wonder whether there is hope for Japanese music yet – or indeed if Japanese music and its music industry are now two entirely different entities…
1. Senbonzakura (WhiteFlame feat. Hatsune Miku)
2. Memeshikute (Golden Bomber)
3. Brain Fluid Explosion girl (Rerulili feat. Hatsune Miku & Gumi)
4. Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari (Kemu)
5. Zankoku Na Tenshi No These (Yoko Takahashi)
6. Amanojaku （164 feat.GUMI）
7. Kagerou Days (Jin feat. Hatsune Miku)
8. ii aru Fan Club (MikitoP Feat. Gumi & Rin)
9. only my railgun （fripSide）
10. Matryoshka (Hachi feat. Hatsune Miku & Miku)
Is it just me or is this stuff just overproduced crap? I guess 13yr olds go for this type of music.
AH YIKES!
Am I weird for not liking any of the above?
I go for supercell, Maaya Sakamoto, KOKIA, Chiaki Ishikawa, Kalafina – backed up by Yoko Kanno, Yuki Kajiura, Hiroyuki Sawano, Taku Iwasaki and ryo on Composition.
No wonder people say I have “unique” tastes…
Hmm… The list is quite different from the top lists I’ve seen in karaoke boxes in Japan. Zankoku na tenshi no teze has been in the top 10 for many years, but some other more or less obvious songs are missing. For example Lion from Macross F not being in the list really surprises me.
What the f♥♥k did I just watch?
lol, some ppl are so close minded that they can’t not see the true potential of vocaloid, making vocalizations a tool for everyone and not just for the gifted, its my biggest dream to come true, i have big hopes on Japanese teenagers =D
