THIS WORLD IS TOO HECTIC FOR ME

They are probably overrated sometimes but mosr of the time they do some good stuff

Need more information. I’m ready for a new genre of music to jam to.

Try Casiopea, the Mint Jams album. Saw it in a green text. It’s what made me fall in love with the genre.

Checked it out, it’s pretty good but also reminds me of regular jazz, just with a bit more virtuoso mixed in as opposed to free play, so it’s less laidback. Interesting concept

The only reason I listen to Casipea is because of that greentext too lmao

Thanks checking it out now. First association: Feels like I am in the lobby of a cool game 😁

I’ve been a listener of all types of jazz for about 15 years. In my experience, Japanese jazz is akin to having one of those YouTube ‘chillhop lofi Jazz’ live streams up. It isn’t super technical and gets a bit repetitive to me, but it’s nice to have on every now and then while I’m trying to multitask.

I misread “multitask” as “masturbate”.

It’s interchangeable

as OP said, Casiopea’s Mint Jams is a bomb, I also suggest these albums I really enjoyed:

There’s a lot of great Japanese jazz from the 70s and early 80s. Check out Kazumi Watanabe, from his early guitar-oriented days to the more full instrumentation of his compositions in the 80s and 90s. A favorite of mine is To-Chi-Ka, which also features Marcus Miller on bass. There are also a lot of great albums with female vocalists such as this one by Noriko Miyamoto and Isao Suzuki.

Technically “jazz fusion”, but it still slaps

Is it okay to share Spotify playlists? If so, I have a good sized (nearly 16 hours) Japanese jazz/bebop list I put together, track by track, awhile back. I haven’t updated it in a bit cause depression is real, so there’s probably lots more to add by now. Anyway, I didn’t want to just pop off a link to a subscription service without asking, first…

There have been a couple attempts at platform agnostic playlist services… none of them seem to be up anymore.

That said, link it. I think people without accounts can at least see the list?

Yay! Maybe a little bit more upbeat stuff than pure relaxation, but a good jumping off point, I hope, for everyone making more awesome playlists to share! Japanese Jazz & Dandy Bebop

👋 I want the link!

I’d like that too! :)

Please share the link! I would love this.

Good point. I should really put on some Casiopea.

exactly what I’m listening to right now.

Gran Turismo uses lots of japanese jazz as menu music.

Ooh, thanks, and I’ll check out their menu music
