The Best Japanese Albums, according to my audience 

The Pillows and Shinsei Kamattechan being there sparks joy. The absence of AKFG does not spark joy.

GOD TIER ALBUMS from kinoko teikoku, sheena ringo, motfd, and dead gf was enough to make me love the video but then you put my favorite midori album in number 1 im salivating

what the hell none of my mori calliope votes made it in???

銀杏BOYZ mentioned, good list

Thank god Haru To Shura at least made the honorable mentions, fav album all time

so sad no flood by boris tho

It’s here!!

GING NANG BOOOOOOYZ!!!!!!!!

shinsei kamattechan (although tomodachi wa koroshite made was easily better /only if it was longer/), MOFD, gingnang boys and kinoko teikoku being there truly sparks joy

Interesting list - a couple worth checking out. Gotta say, I think this list is heavily influenced by the current youtube algorithm/fantano. Just to throw some stuff out that may not be on other folks radars: Boredoms - 'Pop tatari' Ground Zero - 'Plays Standards' [FFO John Zorn] Bleach 03 - S/T [FFO otoboke beaver/Midori] Teengenerate - Savage!!! World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland [FFO Venetian Snares] Melt-Banana - Cell-scape [FFO Hella; Lightning Bolt; Locust] Happy End - Kazemachi Roman [trad. chosen as the best Japanese rock album of all time] Cornelius - Fantasma Kahimi Karie - I am a kitten Chara - Junior Sweet Kimidori - S/T [FFO Beastie Boys] Judy and Mary - JAM Osamu Kitajima - Benzaiten Soap-Jo Henshi - S/T [good luck finding this one] 385 - No miso araou [FFO Midori] Maximum the Hormone - Yoshu Fukushu [FFO Mr. Bungle] Flippers Guitar - Camera Talk Shugo Tokumaru - L.S.T. [FFO fishmans] Shonen Knife - Burning Farm [FFO otoboke beaver] Togawa Jun - Suki, suki, dai-suki 0.8秒と衝撃 - １暴２暴３暴４暴５暴６暴、東洋のテクノ Nisennenmondai - N Crack the Marian - Bop Cats

huh this was a very interesting list, i'm surprised Lamp didn't make it in (i personally voted for Yume as my favorite album), and i didn't expect to see so many rock and punk albums. also, no Nujabes? btw is there a chance you could make the ranked spreadsheet of all submitted albums public, i'm interested to see all the stuff people voted for

God damn, even if it's not Flood I'm surprised Boris didn't make the list whatsoever

Of the artists that appeared in the video, I only know: The pillows, Shinsei Kamattechan, midori, kinoko teikoku, and mass of the fermenting dregs, I'm the type of person who listens to everything and maybe I'll check out the other albums that appeared, and no ling Tosite Sigure album appeared, I was sad😢😢

Great vid just found your channel. I recommend art school's Requiem Of Innocence if you wanta hear a post hardcore/emo indie goodness

wohooo

REALLY GOOD TIER LIST! Although kinda sad that nothing from number girl got on here 🥲

Maybe next time I should vote for 10 Asian Kung-Fu Generation albums to increase the chance^^. I limited myself IIRC on only one album per artist, happy to see that Uzu ni Naru in the list.

I really, really need to listen to Tanoshiine. "Kuroitamago" off of Tsumanne and "Zuttomo" off of Eiyuu Syndrome are both way up there in terms of personal importance. Strangely, I didn't get into Shinsei Kamattechan through being Extremely Online, but through being really into anime nobody else cares about: I found the opening to Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko so musically and lyrically striking that I needed to know who performed it, and look where I am now. Further thoughts: Kind of shocked Ajikan didn't even place, but maybe that's a sign of my age; I remember getting into Boredoms when it felt like there was a shadow of a chance that they'd put out another album. It's been twenty years since Seadrum/House of Sun dropped. ;_; I feel like in terms of noise-rock and punk this list also mostly skews newer and *slightly* more accessible, with hardcore OGs like Gauze, Death Side, The Stalin, G.I.S.M., Zouo and Inu all getting left in the lurch alongside noise-rock and heavy psych/shoegaze titans like the aforementioned Boredoms, OOIOO, Acid Mothers Temple, Nissenenmondai, Coaltar of the Deepers, Ohkami no Jikan, Angel'in Heavy Syrup, Shizuka, Fushitsusha, Afrirampo and Mainliner, to name a few. I suspect this has less to do with the youth neglecting the classics, however, than it does a lack of consensus; see ten different YMO albums being mentioned and Susumu Hirasawa and Ichiko Aoba getting mentions but no placements for this happening in an entirely different genre space. I am admittedly kind of unsurprised that no outright noise made it particularly high, but with that in mind: Please, listen to Aube if you haven't already. Rest in peace, Nakajima-sensei. You were a real one. As for what did get on there, I don't actually have any complaints. World is Yours, in particular, is seeing a thoroughly warranted revival. Seeing Masudore with friends in October and I am HYPED. Also, wild to see Midori rank that high. Finally, in terms of artists not on here but not yet mentioned: Shoutout to Kikuo. "Voices of Svaahaa" is a banger.

real music, but from midori i prefer the album second SHEENA RINGO LO MEJOR

Galileo Galilei - PORTAL I don't care what you think, "I" love it.

銀杏BOYZ二位なんだ。これだけ意外だね

poopoo peepee poopoo
