The reason why you feel it sounds like anime. Western rock follow the time tried classic rock chord progressions (albeit originate from the Blues) still perpetuated by the likes of Berklee School of Music and so forth. Japanese do not follow that. They use slightly different chord progressions at times and their own musical melodies that they developed. And since these rocks/metal songs are prevailing used in much of the anime theme songs, naturally you will associate Japanese rock/metal songs with anime songs. You have to get that out of your brain.
Sokoninaru is a band formed in Osaka in 2011. Drummer is not an official member. He started out as a copy-band of the Japanese band "Ling tosite Sigure". The name "Soko ni naru" doesn’t have a particular meaning but it contains the word "naru" (Japanese: 鳴る, meaning: to sound).I first met and listened to Sokoninaru and thought they had surpassed their Ling tosite Sigure roll models, however when I started listening to Ling tosite Sigure as well, I’m not sure anymore. Bands have a lot of similarities, but also differences. In any case, it is a great pleasure and privilege to know about both bands. To continue listening Sokoninaru, I recommend: "Metalin" ua-cam.com/video/lVlpVQ_sXqQ/v-deo.html "Gou Ni Moyu" ua-cam.com/video/Nl4Z5f4QwEY/v-deo.html, "Zettaiteki Sanpunkan" ua-cam.com/video/MVxl0zXZBR4/v-deo.html "White for" ua-cam.com/video/IftMhG5ck6Q/v-deo.html (A beautiful "normal" emotional song that confirms that Misaki has the most beautiful vocals among bassists.) The band also still often record incredibly good covers that sometimes surpass the original songs. I recommend cover from LUNA SEA - ROSIER ua-cam.com/video/n6pk9Ec2V3o/v-deo.html To meet Ling tosite Sigure I recommend, "Telecastic fake show" ua-cam.com/video/lqYCMxhgeSU/v-deo.html (More dynamic song, where you can see the similarity with Sokoninaru) or "Boukan - live" ua-cam.com/video/TApBuYaXA0E/v-deo.html (a "slower" song that turns into an emotional bomb). I also recommend listening to their masterpiece, the album: Just a Moment
great list. for something even shreddier, i'd add "Re:program" to your list. for variety, perhaps mary should check out "white for" next, shows a different side to them.
Some Japanese bands. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], DEXCORE [Red Eye], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINARU [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], LYNCH [Devil], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], JUPITER [My Enemy], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Dissension], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], JILUKA [Suzaku], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], and many many more...
I'll put my vote in for Band-Maid, because I'm a rocknroller at heart, and prefer good hard rock over power metal and the like. If you also swing towards rock, you def want to check out Band-Maid. Wirmish wasn't kidding when he said "all their songs...really!" - because they are that good. Band-Maid is incredibly diverse and creative, so you'll scratch your head after some songs and think, "Is this the same band?" - but here is one of their (heavier) recent songs to check out: ua-cam.com/video/9yD3IqrLtPk/v-deo.html. Here is a mid-tempo ballad: ua-cam.com/video/RCaeUkrItyY/v-deo.html. Here is an old-school classic style rocker: ua-cam.com/video/ZpAYnVJX9CY/v-deo.html. Enjoy!
Diese Band ist schon genial. Misaki ist so ein bisschen eine Art Idol am Bass für mich geworden seit ich das erste Video von ihnen gesehen habe, und das obwohl sie auf komplett andere Art spielt als ich selber.
Es fühlt sich gut an, Deine Erstreaktionen so zu erleben, da meine eigenen ähnlich gewesen sind. Sokoninaru spielen das live ebenso excellent, wie vor zwei Jahren auf ihrer Europatour zu erleben war. Ich hoffe und bete, daß sie auch wieder zurückkommen, so wie ich es auch bei BAND-MAID, Scandal und Ningen Isu hoffe. Übrigens wollen Nemophila auch rüberkommen...ich sehe schon meine Ersparnisse dahinschrumpfen.
Die Band fliegt mit "ein wenig" Equipment von Japan nach Übersee, kostet aber Geld. Da die zu erwartende Kundenzahl jedoch gering ist, kann der Ticketpreis nicht reduziert werden. Bitte tun Sie Ihr Bestes, um Geld zu sparen. (* ^ ▽ ^ *) / がんばれ！
i know exactly what you mean by "i can see how this wouldn't be for some people, but it's exactly everything i want." it's funny to me that people always describe them as "random/chaotic" because no element of their music is actually random, it's all incredibly tightly composed and immaculately executed. yes, all of their songs are worth checking out, but Gou Ni Moyu, Complicated System, or Lament Moment are good for next.
Not just "a few jazzy chords" bossa nova😜😁 These guys are outrageous, maybe you need to be into bandmaid to be ready for them. Their homemade covers are amazing too.
lov your react... il y a tant de commentateurs qui oublient de parler du batteur qui est juste dans le top 50 mondial avec des pointures comme celui de LEPROUST ua-cam.com/video/nj6fM2KpyOA/v-deo.html tu parles de groupes japonais et tu sembles apprécier cette culture, aussi, je me permet de te présenter Unlucky Morpheus que tu ne cites pas 「Black Pentagram」 LIVE (si tu creuses, tu verras qu'en fait les solo sont écrit pour la guitare cf le clip officiel mais le guitariste était blessé au poignet aussi c'est la violoniste qui à repris le morceau qu'on croirait écrit pour elle) ua-cam.com/video/sKDjZ_pyeng/v-deo.html bonne écoute...
You’re right, that was stupid to think this sounds like anime! So many Westerners can only think anime when it comes to Japan - shows the mind control Japan has over you. 😂 This band has 2 highly skilled musicians,in case you can’t tell. That’s the great thing about Japan, the variety of music with different genres. Japan has the second largest music industry after the US. They don’t just produce gimmicky shit like Korea with kpop. Too bad you aren’t smart enough to know great musicianship when you hear it.😂
Go take your hate somewhere else. I think it's pretty obvious, that I very much appreciate the musicianship that's on display here. Also I'm not into kpop, but I don't appreciate your senseless hate either. ;)
Love this band! So insane but they never lose the heart of the song.

Finally sokoninaru. They really master their instruments. Please check more of them, i suggest "Sokoninaru - Gou ni Moyu"
Thank you for reaction! Love from Japan!

@BANE have you seen their cover of the Hello Sleepwalkers' song? Blows me away how the sokoninaru guitarist can play such complex stuff while singing!
They are an amazing band. This was the first song of theirs I heard as well and I, like you, was instantly hooked!

I love how it's both so chaotic and so structured at the same time. You should rewatch it with captions enabled.
I agree. Of course I rewatched it a bunch of times.
Great reaction! Ahhahahaha I'm speechless too!
Sokoninaru - metalin so dope. I love those old albums,they are also technical and heaviest.
Their skill is unbelievable. at the same
time Suspended 4th is great!
Have you seen the cover Sokoninaru did on a Suspended 4th song?
Simply amazing 🤩
Yes!! One of my favourite bands 🖤 Pretty sure they define “mind blown”. I recommend checking out their songs Gou Ni Moyu and Lament Moment next.
WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW
that’s all there is to say
Diese Band ist schon genial. Misaki ist so ein bisschen eine Art Idol am Bass für mich geworden seit ich das erste Video von ihnen gesehen habe, und das obwohl sie auf komplett andere Art spielt als ich selber.
TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND CHECKOUT >> BAND MAID THRILL > 2nd song > ONSET (live)
THEY ARE IN A CLASS OF THERE OWN!!!!
I haven't done a reaction to Band-Maid so far, because I already know them pretty well.
If you want to proceed down the Japanese Mathy Post-Rock Pan-genre road can I suggest reacting to 88KASYO Junrei and Tricot.

Thanks. It's an Aston Microphones Origin.
lov your react...
il y a tant de commentateurs qui oublient de parler du batteur qui est juste dans le top 50 mondial avec des pointures comme celui de LEPROUST
ua-cam.com/video/nj6fM2KpyOA/v-deo.html
tu parles de groupes japonais et tu sembles apprécier cette culture, aussi, je me permet de te présenter Unlucky Morpheus que tu ne cites pas
「Black Pentagram」 LIVE (si tu creuses, tu verras qu'en fait les solo sont écrit pour la guitare cf le clip officiel mais le guitariste était blessé au poignet aussi c'est la violoniste qui à repris le morceau qu'on croirait écrit pour elle)
ua-cam.com/video/sKDjZ_pyeng/v-deo.html
bonne écoute...
I also like that when they post their own stuff (instead of their record company) they won't romanise their name. That is so "yankie go home!". 😂
