Title: Unironically listening to Japanese 80's Music, thanks to YouTube recommendations
Post by: Aeptia on November 03, 2017, 07:34:54 AM: Has anyone else been recommended random 80's Japanese songs whilst on YouTube? I always get a few randomly, which I don't understand. I'm not complaining though, because the songs are easy listening 👌🏿

For instance, this song was recommended to me after I was *unironically* listening to Never Gonna Give You Up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bNITQR4Uso

Never heard of Maria Takeuchi and this sounds good. Here's a few more recommended tracks I got from the video above.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-KAY_Glmn4

Almost thought this song was a cover of the previous song based on the intro, but I was wrong. Another gem that I got recommended based on this video is below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YixAD9GIAuY

I've heard of Taeko Ohnuki because she's appeared in my recommendations before. I just haven't clicked it until today. Then I was recommended yet another gem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE2D3LWADFg

Just like Taeko, Tomoko Aran has also been recommended to me before. I'm in Love :-* :-* :-* :-* :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat :heartbeat

Recommendations seems to have a feminine bias :doge Human manipulation perhaps? Or maybe it's just me?

Post by: Momo on November 03, 2017, 08:02:47 AM: 70% of that I post is 80s and 90s japanese funk in the form of Future Funk and the samples used in them. I had that MIki Matsubara album cover as my avatar for 2 years lmao.

If you know Minako Yoshida - Shooting Star Of Love ( :lawd ) try this

Post by: Mortimer Brewster on November 03, 2017, 09:16:21 AM: Certain segments of the Japanese population is still stuck in the 80's. Last time I was in Tokyo, I saw some guy walking around Roppongi with the same hairstyle George Lynch had when I saw Dokken in 1988!!!

Post by: VomKriege on November 03, 2017, 09:25:05 AM: Alex from Tokyo has an excellent mix for Beats in Space full of Japanese pop music including Plastic Love which is indeed a great song.

The second part of South East Asia disco ain't bad either if that's your jam.

Soichi Terada also did the music for the Ape Escape and Fantavision games. He has some music out under the name "Omodaka" that is absolutely worth checking out. This remix's music was used in one of the Ape Escape games, IIRC.

This song sounds like it's based on a Larry Levan house music classic:

Weird. This was happening to me too!

So you’re saying that the music thread previews, without even watching the video, are affecting the cookies for our YouTube accounts, and that is adding them to the YouTube suggestions?

Originally heard this as a sample (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iH-Ah9vT16Y) and ended up buying the vinyl.

Post by: chronovore on December 03, 2017, 08:58:09 AM: It's not '80s music, but it is Japanese, so I will admit here that I really like Rip Slyme:

This is what I got after going through a bunch of random crap. I like it.

https://youtu.be/Hrr3dp7zRQY

More I found going through the same hole.

I ended up here by looking up the Wii shopping channel music. Which is apparently a rip-off of Walter Wanderley's Rainforest album.

Post by: CrazyDiamond on December 03, 2017, 11:26:54 PM: Everything by Taeko Onuki is so good. I listened to 4:00AM once a number of months ago and ended up throwing myself into a related video fueled downward spiral into 80's japanese music and I love this shit. Now Plastic Love shows up on the related stuff literally every time I open a video on youtube

That jazz album is unbelievably good and one of my favorites. I can't believe he taught himself to play piano at... 23?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvEE3_mBzi8

I can't help but laugh. It's the little details leading up to it, like when the guy seems to be showing the woman there is a handle in the seat she can hold on to, which I think he uses as an excuse to touch her hand, but ends up breaking her nail or something. lol

Post by: Tasty on July 22, 2018, 12:38:40 PM: I know there's a ton of people out there who obviously disagree, but YouTube's recommendations consistently surface new (to me) and interesting content and music.
