6th Station ~Other Bands for H!P Fans~

[Nayoko-Kihara]

It's thanks to Sohee that I was able to discover and enjoy Kanjani8 (instead of limiting myself to old Arashi+a few other songs).

Of course I still can't remember names very well, or song titles. But if that one video with the great camera work isn't in Rm88's list, post it. For me too, because I can't find it now.

[Sohee]

I'd say their whole discography. Kanjani8 shine in variety but their lives are the best. Though knowing what type of songs you like, I'd say you've got your favorites there. Osaka Obachan Rock, Sukiyanen Osaka, T.W.L, are playful, too. Kanfu Fighting, maybe?

I think the one Nayoko is talking about is Monjai Beat (album song)... or maybe Aoppana... Not quite sure.

Solos -- all the members have solos on albums. Usually on a second disc. As for b-sides... their b-sides usually keep their rock-y sound (which is why they're so awesome) so I don't know if you're into that. the lives are ½ entertainment and silly stuff and ½ playing the instruments and being the amazing rock guys they are.

The singers of the group are Subaru and Ryo, though. Followed by Okura (drums), Maruyama (base) and Yasuda (guitar). Murakami (piano) and Yokoyama (hand-drums etc) aren't that known for being the best singers, but of course they too have their good and bad days. Though, like I said everyone has a solo each. I doubt they're available for streaming though...

On the top of my head I know these titels (there are at least 2-3 more songs for each person though)
Yokoyama You - WONDER BOY
Shibutai Subaru - A
Murakami Shingo - Forward
Maruyama Ryuuhei - MAGIC WORD ~Boku no nari ni~
Yasuda Shouta - Watashi kagami
Nishikido Ryo - Stereo
Okura Tadayoshi - no-no-no

Good luck finding them though. (>_<)

I had "Aoppana" in mind, but "Monjai Beat" is far more catchy (to me).

[Starra]

I like a few Kanjani songs, but eh. I can't really get into Johnny's.

[Sohee]

I was super into Johnnys, then I fell out of it. Then now I'm finding my way back to Kanjani8. <3 I do enjoy SMAP and Yamapi and several other guys individually, but music-wise it's really only Kanjani and... uh. Yamapi. TOKIO and SMAP are highly prioritized too.

Yokoyama You - WONDER BOY

CHIIIIIIIIIIIIILD what about 413man?
Off the top of my head for Kanjani
One Day in Winter
Snow White
Fight for Eight
Osaka Romanesque
Rolling Coaster
LIFE ~Menomae no Mukou e~
tte!!!!!!!

[Sohee]

413man is so sad. T_T I love that one.
Snow White was written and composed by Yasuda and Nishikido. <3

... I love those songs. But I didn't mention them because they don't have the "playful" that are in the songs that Rm88 usually seems to like. If I'd be mentioning my favorites, Misetekure, ONE, and LIFE and Baby Baby, Brulee, Fuka fuka etc.. would be there way ahead of some others.

[Rm88]

Thanks! Actually, I love rock-y songs too so I'm giving a listen to all the songs I can find. But seriously, Wahaha is amazing and currently my favorite by far.

[wotakubrandon]

I'm not crazy about Wahaha but I love the video.
Brulee is really good as well but for some reason just now I thought it was Brilliant Blue.

[Starra]

So, the girl who sang this...

...is in Sphere, and sings in this. She's the short one that's second from the right.

Did I mention she's a seiyuu? Because she's a seiyuu.

YES THIS IS ALL THE SAME PERSON.

God, I love her.
