Who is YOUR favourite japanese musician??


Recommended Posts

Utada gets the big thumbs up from most of the Japanese population aswell... as for me I've been an Ayu fan for ages and ages. What a hottie... some of her songs (and I emphasise SOME!) are pretty good IMO.

The lo-fi punk/rock scene is pretty good - couldn't care less for the mainstream dribble. It's amazing that some of the (almost 'garage') bands get record deals and airplay though - I guess the size of the market allows it.

husking bee - is my recommendation

would love to see them at fuji rock this year (which is in my neighbourhood) - that has to be one of the best festival line-ups ever pity about the ticket price... A$480 has to be the just about the most expensive general admission ticket of all time

i like the j-rock stuff myself but my all time fave will have to be HYDE and L'arc en ciel..though they are the same thing pretty much..haha. anyone know where i can buy a Hydeist t-shirt?? I think Bonnie pink rocks too but larc will always be one of the greatest. Utada is good only cause she has that U.S hip hop background and she can sing english:D:D

The stuff by MOVE (the super Eurobeat you'r talking about) seems the second best thing out of japan i've ever heard, I think they're really good and i was a fan even before i ever heard of initial d .

The BEST music is definelty anything SUPER ROBOTS related; ie: Mazinger z's Ichiro Mizuki, Grendizer's Isao Sasaki and even the new generation like Hironobu kageyama (well know for his songs in Shin Getter robo). also i like some of JAM's music , but not all. only the ones that dont have the two girls in them (dont like them and dont know their names).

any more super robot fans here????

I have heaps of SEB on mp3, but even better are the Video OPTION drift vids with SEB mixed over the top. The Super Eurobeat presents Boostin' Hot ones with Dave Rodgers tracks mixed over the top are grouse. There's one with a "Smoke on the Water" SEB remix on it that's just clips of all these guys drifting in the rain and loosing it into the mud, flying into an embankment and front/rear bars flying everywhere.

They're made by avextrax, who are the same people that distribute ID.

But yeah, anything by Move is great. Night of Fire is a great SEB song, a real bad influence whilst driving though. Especially if you've watched a fair bit of ID. :rofl:

www.eurobeat-prime.com and eurobeat.org is your friend. You guys should get the JGTC special torrent.

most of the SEB stuff is all italian only (think after SEB 101 they started including japanese ones), most of the J-Euro stuff is Ayumi remixes or MAX.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
