Quote from DJGrenola:
the japanese attitude to music is kind of interesting, it's like they lack the cynicism and irony that's so prevalent in the west, I don't think they're constantly looking over their shoulder thinking "is this too cheesy" or whatever
Quote from DJGrenola:
like jazz and fusion are quite popular there I think, but they're generally treated sneeringly by westerners
Quote from DJGrenola:
I dunno, I remember the soundtrack to street fighter EX+alpha and how some of the tracks are like 80s daytime TV music
like nobody in the west would dream of making stuff like that, soundtracks all need to be this omggrimdark hans zimmer bullshit
japan doesn't care, it's happy to break out the saxophones, doesn't give a fuck lol

then again I'm like, totally not in synch with the usual American tastes. Not really into mainstream American pop nor country, nor even rap nor various more obscure subgenres of rock or whatever. I'm basically just on classical, J-pop (by which I actually mostly mean anime theme songs), and basically whatever stuff happens to show up in game and anime soundtracks. Which is actually quite a varied bunch of stuff, from chiptune action rock to folksy stuff to ambient noise to...probably including the latest bunch of stuff I got into, which is trance.
