As of writing this, I have just under 36,000 tracks in my iTunes Library, a good deal of those tracks are from Asian artists.

One of the questions I'm asked the most is something along the lines of "can you recommend any artists?". And I wrote a big long list in a google doc, but instead of posting that link here (ngl it would be easier, but I can link to artist pages easier here), I'm gunna just copy&paste and you can lurk the artist pages and crap.

I'mma mark my favourite with love hearts or stars or something. You should check those out before any others, tbh. ♥ Or maybe I should bold them. Erm.

Don't know where to get any of the music I recommend? If you stalk/talk/have me as a friend on LiveJournal, I may just give you a shunt in the right direction. Maybe.

またもや会社帰りに突発的に3人で2時間。
週末なので2時間1200円と微妙な値段設定。

前半3曲は初めて歌った曲、プロメテウスがなかなか難しい。
HTTとサカナは二回目、もっと練習しよう。
後半4曲は久しく歌ってなかった曲、LUNA SEAとか歌ったの何年ぶりだろ。
相変わらず統一感が皆無。

長時間歌うことがなくなってるのでこの程度歌っても喉が痛くなるのだ・・・
仕事にゆとりができたらヒトカラ行きたい

セットリスト
Cocco - 強く儚いものたち
BEAT CRUSADERS - Summerend
Last Alliance - プロメテウス
サカナクション - アイデンティティ
放課後ティータイム - Listen!!
cali≠gari - 東京病
マキシマム ザ ホルモン - 包丁・ハサミ・カッター・ナイフ・ドス・キリ

To do this yourself, use your top 20 artists, and look at the eight highest artists on their similar artists. If any of them repeat, do not count the second entry and every entry after that. If any similar artists are also in your top 20, don not count them either. If any entries are the same artist but with a different name, don't include this similar artist, pick the next one down. For example, in Michael Jackson's similar artists both 'The Jackson 5' and 'The Jacksons' are included, so you would ignore the 'The Jacksons' and pick the artist below them in the similar artist list. It sounds complicated, but it's easy once you get started. Once you have your list, count up every first entry of an artist. Your final socre will be out of 160, so the highest score you can get is 160, which indicates extreme variety. If you want, you can just do it for the top 10, in which case a score of 80 represents extreme variety.
