Ranma, Nichijou, and IOSYS

Ranma 1/2 is an anime. What else?

Anyway, The anime is cool and it's also the first anime that I binged. That's all I need to say. What about the music?

If you don't know, Ranma 1/2 has a bunch of soundtracks from different groups and artists. The picture shown here is a live album from the band: DoCo. These albums are hidden gems to me for a good reason: The music is a nice example of the type of music present in the 80s. Sure there was Citypop or Synth but this has S y n t h and background music elements (don't know how to describe it though). I like it.

Another reason is the art that comes along in the booklets of each album. So nice.

But why am I gushing over an old show from the 80s? I like looking for music to discover and the music is from a show I enjoyed.

This type of stuff is normal. An anime usually has a bunch of cds and singles before thier cancellations. Nichijou is a wonderful example of the soundtracks and singles being awesome to listen to. ~It's so good~

Speaking of anime......

IOSYS

IOSYS is an electronic group dedicated to Touhou remixes and original albums.

Oh my gosh! Saying the group's name is bringing me nostagia......

Their first single ☆mwah☆ A good reccomendation for the weebs out there. Link here

I remember being intrested in japanese internet culture when I was young and OH BOY! Just look at the art from their remix single! Marisa stole the precious thing takes me back...

Nice to see some more art in this style: Nice

Man, you can hear the Niconico Douga MADs from this image. I can just hear the Yukkuris computer generated voice from this... Is that Ronald McDonald up there? THAT IS! That sports Koala mascot too is in the pic too!

This one in particular reminds me of Rhythm Heaven. That game was the stuff!

IOSYS has many different styles of techno(mostly dub) and their compilation album: White Album VOL 2 is a good example of their styles. Seriously, this is great stuff!

I haven't even scratched the surface of this whole thing! And as I'm editing this article, I'm just reminiscing on my weeb days and smiling about all this stuff I remember. :)

Overall, I should watch more anime...

Drum and bass is pretty cool

Drum and Bass has got to be the best genre to zone out to. With its different futuristic sounds to ~THAT DRUM BREAK~

Basically:

The amen break existed and then some dj was like:

"we could make a genre out of this"
The end...

Genius, right?

Imagine levitating to a different universe full of places you remember but don't even know. That feeling is very common when listening to tracks like this masterpiece over here.

when that tune plays... Oh boy! does it make me feel refreshed (‘∀’●)♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I absolutely love it! You can tell the effort pit into mixes and tunes are an A+. I'm so glad that my music taste is now whatever the heck it wants considering the fact I like an underground jazzy sound from many different types of genres and backgrounds. Oh boy, do I love this genre!

You might (not) be wondering: Why did you spend so much time just on make an article dedicated to drum and bass?

I just like it, okay?

Dedication is a weird concept to me.

I guess I'll just end the article on a weird note...

Here's some reccomendations if you're a beginner looking for something good to listen to while you're bored or something (It's just 2 albums):

LTJ Bukem - Intelligent Jungle

If you're a beginner to the dnb genre, Anything that LTJ Bukem has made will (probably) get you into the genre. With such nice liquid-type sounds and drums, it will transfer you into a different world. Definitely, something to remember.

Tom and Jerry - It Comes A Dime A Dozen EP

If you're into the club scene, this album is just for you with different synths and psychedelic drum patterns. And if you're a beginner, definitely listen to the group's other songs.
