Artist Discussion Thread

[rmz]

I think that I would prefer a Tatsh album that has a few platoniX songs on it, but in any case I wouldn't be surprised if it happened someday.

Other artists that could make very solid albums:

dj TAKA (he has enough material for like 10 albums)
Jimmy Weckl
Tatsh
Ryu☆
L.E.D.
wac
DJ Yoshitaka (maybe)

Didn't TAKA announce a while ago that he was going to slowly start handing the reins of the series to younger talent like Tatsh and Yoshitaka so that he could focus on other projects (producing albums, etc.)?

It sort of seems like it's kinda starting. It seems like he's already letting Yoshitaka take on all that menu/system music, which is pretty good by the way.

EDIT: Thinking about a Taka album, it's probably kind of weird if there will be something like Gradiusic Cyber and Ultra High-Heels on the same album. I believe he should have made more pseudonyms like Naoki so he can organize his various genre (like Naoki can make an album out of RevenG, De-sire, Naoki Underground, etc.).

A NAOKI underground album would be so totally sweet. NAOKI needs to do more trance.

O.O;

I don't think pseudonyms really matter to anyone; Akira Yamaoka used like three different pseudonyms' songs on his album.

That's not gonna happen. It'll be all of a certain genre on one album...

now an album full of Ultra High-Heels-ish music, wow. could human ears withstand such high notes for a long period of time?

or an all video-game music remix game? count me in

That's a good point, and yes, pseudonyms do mean nothing in the big picture. My point though, is that dj TAKA's styles are so diverse that it'll be hard to know what to focus on in one album. Akira Yamaoka's songs under his few pseudonyms actually sound pretty similar in styles, and his styles can probably divided into just three or four main genre. By using Naoki as an example, I think it'll be odd to have songs from Divas and ZZ to be put on the same album just like if Don't Stop and Quickening were to be put on the same album.

Then again, TAKA could just make a separate album entitled trance, eurobeat, elevator music, etc. instead of making pseudonyms. Funny how I just rescinded my original statement .

[shungokusatsu]

Maybe TAKA could release a multi-disc album, with each disc is associated with a music style. (such as a Trance side, a Eurobeat side, a Progressive side, etc.)
That will be expensive to have a multi-disc album.

Taka is genious keyboard, like in A.
teranoid is pure 0wnage with gigadelic, and I never knew she was a girl until recently... and natsack, is a natsack.
Tatsh, Ryu*, Naoki

Does Akira Yamaoka make an appearance in the video of his song Dancer? If so, where is he? He better not be the guy in drag.

[darkamdusias]

He's the blonde haired guy, if I'm remembering correctly.

[xybur]

I always assumed Tetsuya Uchida was Mr. T

Haha, I guess I am wrong :p

[darkamdusias]

Well, no worries. That's actually a pretty easy mistake to make.
