The new artists thread

**Yoake** · #1 4th September 2016, 12:05 PM

This thread is the son of The next generation of female artists/groups. I created it to expand the theme and to gather all female singers, male singers and mixed groups in one place.
I linked the name of the artists with their thread or the related post (with videos).

Ohh, this is great! Thank you for making the effort and compiling all the recommendations into a simple list, this seems like a useful way to archive the relevant pieces of discussion for those who want to find new music quickly.

I hope to see at least as much discussion and links as there were in the "original" thread!

Corvina · #3 4th September 2016, 03:29 PM

Yeah, thanks yoake!
Btw. GILLE is now called JILLE - she had a small pause from the scene and to mark her "new beginning" as she called it, she changed the first letter.

**Yoake** · #4 5th September 2016, 03:52 PM

^Thanks. I'll add her new name.

Thanks for the recommendations! Very nice.

Do you guys know DAOKO? She's been in the industry since 2012 but only have two singles. That's the new one:

She gained a lot of attention because of her smooth voice and because of these two "controversial" music videos:

**Yoake** · #6 5th September 2016, 07:01 PM

I watched the two Nihon Animator Mihonichi's videos early in the year but I didn't know the name of the singer. Both songs are not really my cup of tea. BANG sounds better. Her voice reminds me Hanae a bit.

CatGirl · #7 10th September 2016, 05:33 AM

Thanks for making such a cool thread! Just listened to REOL and wow, they're fantastic! Super catchy stuff. I'm excited to see more from them and for their album to drop

**Yoake** · #8 26th October 2016, 05:27 PM

Uru was spotted thanks to her many covers on her youtube channel. She debuted last june with the single Hoshi no Naka no Kimi. She released her second single The last rain on 26th October.

Hoshi no Naka no Kimi

The last rain

I added the alljpop's link where you can hear the single without downloading it. Just click on tracklist.

Kacku · #9 27th October 2016, 05:50 PM

^ Uru has a really pretty voice, I might download the single to enjoy later.

I want to spread the word about an artist called iri. She just released her debut album, Groove it, yesterday, and it's a really good album! She makes laid-back electronic music with a clear hip-hop influence, her singing sometimes crosses over into rap territory.

**Yoake** · #10 15th November 2016, 12:26 PM

^rhythm isn't my cup of tea. However I'll try her debut album because I like her voice. I hope there'll be songs that will appeal to me. Thanks for sharing her.

RIRI is a singer who is inspired by RnB and debut 2000s american music style. She has a deep and nice voice. Her debut album I love to sing was released this month.

The last rain is a really nice single. Totally in love with the song The last rain - so beautiful!
There's just quite a lot of English in it - nice English, but the pronounciation or the flow of it in the song doesn't always fit.
Gonna follow her nevertheless.

Morimoto Namua is another one to watch.

^She has a beautiful voice.

Corvina and Kacku : Uru might gain more popularity as her new single is the new ending of the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

I want to spread the word about two bands I've been listening to a lot lately.

Awesome City Club is a five-member pop-rock/city pop band formed in 2013. Their concept is apparently making music that serves as the soundtrack of the fictional Awesome City. They released their fourth mini-album, Awesome City Tracks 4, earlier this year, and it's really good! They have some great songs, and I love that they have both male and female vocals in the group and on their songs.

Konya Dake ga Machigai ja nai Koto ni Shiteageru is a great example of what they're about: it's energetic, super catchy, and features both of the group's vocalists. I love this song, and I hope it catches someone else's attention as well!

Don't Think, Feel

ame_no_parade is a four-member alternative rock band formed in 2013. I've seen them compared to Sakanaction, but they definitely have their own unique and peculiar sound. They released their major label debut album New generation last year; I've really enjoyed the album and highly recommend it, it's full of great songs! They're releasing their second album, Change your pops, next month, and I'm really looking forward to it!

My favourite songs of theirs (Noctiluca and the new version of yuragi meguru kimino nakano sore) don't appear to have music videos attached to them, but fortunately some other good songs of theirs do!

Petrichor

Tokyo

Change your mind, the lead track from the upcoming album

And both of these bands' releases seem to be available on iTunes worldwide!

___

Also, iri released a new song, Watashi, co-produced with Hidefumi Kenmochi of Suiyoubi no Campanella, a few weeks ago, and it's got me addicted! The song will also be released on a maxi single at the end of March, but for now, I'm gonna keep looping this track like there's no tomorrow.

EndOfTheWorld · #15 27th February 2017, 10:09 PM

Sadly I can't view the videos because they are blocked in my country.

**Yoake** · #16 8th March 2017, 07:25 PM

Added them in the first post. I'm not fond of Awesome City club. Their music isn't bad but that's not my cup of tea. Ame no parade has a good sound. I'll try their debut album when I'll have time. Thanks for sharing
