Descrição:

For those who can't stand seeing their favourite artists incorrectly tagged as "anime".

Our philosophy:

While we do know tags are subjective and may be used freely by anyone to group items, we think that there are right uses and wrong uses of the "anime" tag, most especially when it comes to tagging bands.

We don't listen to anime music; we listen to JAPANESE music. Used in anime or not, we consider all japanese music as JAPANESE MUSIC. There are no "anime bands". Just Japanese bands who may have songs featured in anime. And as far as we know, Japanese bands are NOT Japanese animation. We are aware of the existence of fictional bands in anime. You may tag them as you want to, but if you happen to tag the REAL people behind the music as "anime"...

Having 3 songs out of 100 used in anime does not qualify a full-fledged artist as "anime singer", or "anime soundtrack". If a band's entire discography (rather than a specific song, or album) was made to be featured in anime, feel free to tag them as such if you think that they are Japanese animation dedicated enough. "Seiyuu"s are also artists, by the way. But seriously, how many artists out there qualify?

And really, why should all Japanese artists be tagged as such when they don't have a single song used in anime? 'cause they're baka Japaniiz and kawaiiiiiiiiiiiii anime r00lz Japan!!!11? Give me a break.

Feel free to discuss other Japanese music related tags in the forum.

This is NOT a Japanese animation hate group. Read our manifesto.

there's even a group dedicated to "OC music fans"... and another one for people who like "anime music" which has been quoted a million times here. lol

Oh dear lord, they do? *facepalm* Yes, Glee I can understand since there's actual music on the show, but really, everything else...*sigh*

well, some people call songs featured in shows like The OC as being OC songs and stuff... i can understand people saying that for musical shows like Glee but yeah :/ that's just wrong

This is a brilliant group. Granted, I like anime myself (in case my picture didn't give that away), but I like to think that I understand enough to not tag a group or artist as 'anime' just because they had a song featured in an anime. I'll admit that I've only recently gotten into Japanese music due to anime, but even then, I never thought of it simply as "anime music." After all, do people tag songs they hear in other shows as "sitcom" music or something? (God, I really hope they don't... =/ )

I like anime (I haven't watched barely any this year), and will never hate it. I prefer dramas though. I do get annoyed with anime fans though. I was really annoyed when I went to FLOW's new song, Sign (http://www.last.fm/music/Flow/_/Sign). One comment said "Damn this is awsome! Naruto for the win." Its like WTF. I really don't think a song's shoutbox should be full of comments about Naruto. Sometimes you will see that with drama tie-ins (Buzzer Beat lol) but its really bad with anime. I don't see that with songs that have CM tie-ins. "OMG I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL. NISSIAN FTW!!@?@" Oh well I rather read comments like that than reading anything on Ayu, Hikki or Kuu's shoutbox lol.

Did anyone else here just join the group because they hate anime? I don't even listen to any Japanese music (yet anyway).

Oh, come on! "anime" as a tag is wrong! Is it a big deal to copy mp3 to winamp and use auto-tagging? o(=A=)o

I just copy and pasted the link and made it into a link. I guess I'll have to actually use the html coding.

I'll post it on Japanese artist sites that often have a lot of people who listen to their anime opening/ endings only. People like Ayumi, BoA, High and Mighty Color, etc all of them. xD

It honestly pisses me off when I listen to a band like 9mm Parabellum Bullet or 10-FEET or X JAPAN and someone draws the conclusion I'm THAT guy who cos-plays at every Anime convention cause I listen to Japanese music. I used to like Anime, but it's kind of lost it's charm with me in recent years. I still enjoy Cowboy Bebop, but beyond that, I'm really not that into Anime (sorry if I offend anyone)
