Group dedicated to denpa songs.

FOR NEWS & INFO VISIT 電波の世界: http://denpanosekai.blogspot.com (in English)

Denpa (電波) means “electro-magnetic wave” in Japanese, and denpa-kei (電波系), or denpa-type, is a term for the kind of strange people who seem to be listening to something that only they can hear (in other words, picking up some weird radio waves). It doesn’t just apply to the kind of weirdos who run around wearing tinfoil hats, though, it has come to extend to people who live off in their own little dream worlds and have trouble communicating with the real world (mostly otaku). So, in essence, denpa songs are songs made to appeal to these types of people.

As with such vaguely defined subculture concepts as moe, the definition of what makes a person or a song denpa can vary wildly depending on who you ask, but generally accepted features of denpa music are:

1) Music and vocals that are politely termed “overly enthusiastic,”and often intentionally horrid.
2) Lyrics that have no meaning (I know translators who’ve lost years of their life to denpa songs).
3) Frequent use of sound effects to fill space, usually sung (examples: “chu chu!” and “yaaaaaay!”).
4) An uncanny ability to get stuck in your head.

Yup, it's against the rules to post links to copyrighted content.

I don't think it's against the rules, but just making sure because it is annoying when a bunch of people post 'HAY CHK OUT MI KEWL NU FORUMZ XDDD'.

Is that because you actually think that someone there will come up with a helpful answer or because it's a board that you made and you just needed an opportunity to insert a shameless plug?

Where do you guys get your denpa music from? I can only find torrents of a handful of artists' music.

I dream of the day when the lyrical content of all j-pop has advanced to nothing but cute onomatopoeia.

This is a call to arms!! Some turkey actor "Shirota Yu" is trying to take over the artist name 'U'! All I ask is that you upvote some of the one true U's pictures. Godspeed!
