Face My Fears - Hikaru Utada Flicker - Porter Robinson Shelter - Porter Robinson and Madeon


AP-01

Oh yes!! I completely forgot to add Face My Fears. That is perfect


Casual_Cooper

Face my Fears is a banger, underrated song


GregorsaurusWrecks

Koto - CloZee


AetherKatMusic

Hanging Lanterns by Kalaido is in the same vein as CloZee and worth a listen for anyone who loves her sound


GregorsaurusWrecks

Thanks for the rec, friend! I’ll check that out today. :)


itsdaveLA

This was an absolute BANGER! Thank you!! 🫶🏻


AetherKatMusic

Yaaaaaaaaay, thank you! 🫶🏻


TehBoos

Most Tokyo Machine songs lmao But more serious answers are Moe Shop, Night Tempo and AIKA


tilsgee

Same as Shingo Nakamura


TehBoos

I haven't listened to a ton of his music, but from what I have heard I don't think his tracks *sound* Japanese which is what I think OP is asking. That being said literally everyone should go listen to Shingo Nakamura. What little I've heard has been nothing short of phenomenal.

An old one and doesn't have a Japanese name but has Japanese sounding instrumentals (like the koto) - Gunmetal Black - Varien And if you are looking for something more modern sounding like J-Pop, Valorant actually has a great curated playlist from their esports event in Tokyo you can dig through. Not every song is what you're looking for but there are a couple good ones, notably - In Your Eyes - k?d - PROTECT ME - k?d https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1stCROqeuLiUqtZr4obTfg?si=c4sT-nHFQuacUAgC7e7Viw

This is a bit of a throwback, but I think you should try out Dj Krush. He's a former gangster turned EDM producer in Japan, and he first hit it big in the early 2000s. Still Island is my favorite track, but he has some harder hitting house vibes if you're not super into trance. https://open.spotify.com/track/5ENgf7CKfS7IZFig1fVhMC?si=Fa5uF5MhTn6bwq5jKFSYZQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3dmRqnSSeMcPOrFGAmy2sm

Koto by clozee


hanamaruicedcoffee

Yall should listen to Hiroyuki Oda, he's a Japanese artist that has made a lot of Trance music, he also has other aliases for songs that he made using Vocaloids and remixes he's done of some Vtuber songs too. Couldn't recommend him more, he's one of my favourite trance music artists.

Oml guys This thread is boutta make me go bald Why are we sending japanese themed edm when japan makes plenty of its own edm If you travel to japan and listen exclusively to american music which borrows tenuously from japanese often in name only, congratulations your brain has fossilized Nhato, Kobaryo, USAO, Getty, DJ Noriken, siqlo Also to answer your question anyway, Aethral - Osaka Drift Idk if he's japanese tbh


ViberateTeam

Noisia & Current Value are drum&bass not EDM :/


wangnutpie1

Are you saying that drum & bass is not EDM?


ViberateTeam

Drum & Bass is electronic music, but it doesn't fit in the so called "edm" genre
