Apart from Yuki, are there other artists you like very much?

[备件间]

composers,singers, or bands all could be talked.they are not necessarily cartoon's composers.what are their style?why do you like them?what are their famous songs......

 

[Yuki88]

Hmm this should be moved to General talk

you can see on my last.fm... link on my siggy

 

[joel_jman]

nobou uematsu!!!
really major major love love final fantasy and the soundtrack is simply awesome

 

[maha_gnosis]

Won't life be boring if we only worship and listen to Yuki Kajiura? But I love to answer this kind of question.

My fave musicians are (in alphabetical order) :

-Anthony and The Johnsons
chamber music. "hope there is someone", "bird girl"
Why? because of his ability to turn sadness and pain into a music. And his deep voice of course.

-Arcade Fire
Canadian baroque, alternative band. "No cars go", "intervention", "Haiti"
Why? They sound very nostalgic, country, and makes me remember of the world melancholically. And their use of instrument into the genre. Harpsichord, Church Organ, etc , etc.

-Archive
Trip hop, electronica collective from England. "Again", "Fuck U"
Why? Simply trippy, dark and melancholic.

-Björk
Electronica, Experimental, Ambient queen of uniqueness and queerness. "Joga", "Bachelorette", "All is full of Love", "It's oh so quiet"
Why? hm... It is quite difficult. She is able to make music out of strange noises and sounds. She is very artistic and talented. Musically, it is experimental and strange, makes you wonder of alien worlds.

-Clint Mansell
Acclaimed Movie Soundtrack Composer. Musically very ambient and dark. "Lux Aeterna", "Death is road to awe", "Welcome to Lunar Industry"
Why? Again, Trippy, Dark, Melancholic. His musics have a mixture of classic and modern.

-Madonna
You don't know her? "Like A Virgin", "Like A Prayer", "Hung Up", "Music", "Ray of Light" etc etc.
Why? Well... I like her for her different genres.

-Massive Attack
The father of trip hop and bristol sound. "Tear Drop", "Unfinished Sympathy", "Angel", "Paradise Circus"
Why? God, i have to say it again... trippy, dark, and melancholic. As the founder of this genre Trip Hop of course I love the band.

-Portishead
The mother of trip hop? "Glory Box", "The Rip", "Only You"
Why? They sound very industrial, and again, dark and melancholic.

-Susumu hirasawa
Asian Cyber-techno. "Byakkoya", "Parade"
Why? It is about the same as björk. But each of his album doesn't really have uniqueness like Björk's.

-Unkle
another trip hop band, well musically more accessible and light. "Broken", "Lonely Soul"
Why? ... hmm... sam reason as trip hop genre.

-Yasunori Mutisuda
JRPG composer, famous for his celtic influenced musics. "Graf", "Small Two Of Pieces", "Pain"
Why? His musics are simply heavy.

[Alphard Sokaina]

I listen only to Yuki Kajiura

 

[george1234]

Apart from Yuki I also listen to:

Yasunori Mitsuda (XS 1 mainly, but also Kirite - although I dont quite follow him..)
Yoko Shimomura
Yasuharu Takahashi (only the Fairy Tail ones, but I've heard he has done the Naruto ones too)
some songs of KOKIA
Akiko Shikata
Chiaki (Ishikawa)
Yuuka's solo work
I also liked Takumi Ozawa's Ookami Kakushi OST

+ any other Jpop artists or composer that I tend to like.

 

[wintersviolet]

Of course! But since I listen to Yuki songs the most, I'm trying to pry myself away from them to enjoy more of the music that's out there.

1) Kina Grannis (English)
Great acoustic covers and original songs on her Youtube channel. Her original lyrics are sweet, the melodies are very catchy, and she has a really nice voice!
"Message from Your Heart", "The Goldfish Song"

2) The Script (English)
A male group from Dublin. I love the catchy songs and creative lyrics.
"We Cry", "Breakeven"

3) Urban Symphony (Estonian)
First performance as a group was at Eurovision 2009. Combination of beautiful strings and vocals.
"Rändajad"

4) Kyle Landry
A very talented Youtube pianist (username is "kylelandry"). He plays so beautifully and has a lot of awesome improvisation videos and covers, not to mention awesome original songs.
"Doesn't Really Matter, I Like A Ton Of Them So Picking Any Of His Songs Is Fine"

I must say her Ashita e no sanka is amazing and her Tibetan wail was put into good use, now she's like only abusing it and i don't find it amazing anymore

(it'll be as long as a novel.. jk) xD
popular songs?? i would say.. SIGN because most of the fans are captured by this song.. my favorites.. hmm many but i'll just mention some.. ATMOSPHERE, FREEDOM, butterfly, taiyou no uta, tsubaki, steppers high (live) I WILL, melody, word of the voice , pulse, KANDATA (live)
