Heh a bit of revival here, do you know Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari by Supercell? That and watashi wa koi no hochikisu from K-on are part of my band's setlist for a gig this coming Friday.
i'm prolly a little late to the party but I play bass to a lot of japanese rock/pop, more particularly anime music. Didn't originally pick up the bass for this purpose, but being a full Japanese raised in Hawaii, it was bound to happen someday. I'm still a high schooler, but me and a few friends want to play a few songs at Hawaii's 1 and only annual anime convention, Kawaii Kon, this coming 2011 convention. We're looking for a singer, but its not going too good. anyway, back on track....
Supercell is my hands down favorite band. Once they picked up Nagi, they were complete. Their instrumentals and vocals are so complimenting.
I suggest Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (the ending theme to Bakemonogatari for those who havent seen one of the best anime of the year, imo)

Yeah, definitely a good song. I just saw a band do it really really really badly the other day though =/
that really irks me. especially when the only place i see cover of it is on youtube. i mention the song and even anime enthusiasts dont know what i'm talking about. Maybe its Hawaii? Bakemonogatari doesn't seem to be getting the popularity it deserves.
Not just Bakemonogatari but Supercell too I guess. I'm still waiting for my band's video of it to go up.
Sign me up! I've been trying to learn the basslines to all of the K-ON! songs. Mio plays a mean bass.
(door bangs open) OH! THANK! GHOD! I! FOUND! THIS! PLACE! (flops down in armchair)
I got out of playing in 1994. Had all I could take of the drunks, both in-front-of-' & on-stage. Sold almost everything I had. Got fat and mean.
About 2006, I discovered anime. Or, more precisely, I discovered the RIGHT anime. UruseiYatsura (Rumiko Takahashi's first big hit). Flip, funny, satirical, and sweet all at once; equal parts Archie, Bewitched, and Bullwinkle.
When I discovered UruseiYatsura, I also discovered all the MUSIC associated with the show. There are 15 albums of OP's, ED's and BGM from the 5 years it ran on TV + the 5 movies & 12 OVA's (waitwhat?!). And, it's wonderful music! Sweet but not saccharine, slightly screwy, and the beauty of the female voice (all but forgotten in the Western Hemisphere).
My muse was reborn.
Then, I began discovering other anime. AzumangaDaioh. The bass line from Soramimi Keiki (5-string electric upright, oh yeah) was the final piece of the puzzle. That song brought me back to playing again. I am once again whole.
And more and more and more anime music. HaruhiSuzumiya -- the Live Alive episode. God Knows and Lost My Music. They ... actually ... ROCK! Lucky Star -- Motteke! Sailor Fuku! ... attitude and a tough bass riff!
And, then ... K-On!. When the animators GOT IT RIGHT with the close-up of Mio's left hand, playing the bass line... OH THANK YOU KYOTO ANIMATION!
Just when I thought all this had peaked -- VOCALOID. Some Western ears can't take the high range of Miku's voice; I find it strangely soothing. Watching the copies of the stream of the LIVE CONCERT this year (and subsequently buying the BluRay of the show in September & watching that) -- my mind is completely and permanently BLOWN.
And just when YOU thought all this had peaked ... allow me to suggest the Touhou Project series of computer games. The fans have taken the melodies of the BGM's and run with them, creating everything from Rock and Metal to solo piano pieces. Again, I am amazed.
So. Having said all that ....
How do I get a Number?
Cheers, all!

I got to say that I love the Pillows. They were a huge influence on my bass playing.
On a side note, would learning all the theme songs from Digimon count?

Mmm ... looks like our thread originator (thus Club President?) hasn't logged on since December 21st. Hope all is okay and he'll return soon. In the meantime we'll keep things going.
Hah! Yeah, I think so.
[shameless plug]By the way guys, my brother has a youtube channel where he uploads anime called "youranimeguru2" (his first one got banned...) check it out[/shamless plug]

That's a bit different than how she normally looks...I think I like it even more...
On my last trip to Japan, I hunted down a fair bit of Mio goods lol.
Learning Go!Go!Maniac atm. Good challenge
Anime music is amazing. Bass playing started for me with GTO's theme, Driver's High. The band who wrote/performed it, L'Arc~en~Ciel, define who I am as a bass player. Since that day, I've become such a big fan of what they do. They've done several other themes, like Rurouni Kenshin (4th Avenue Cafe) the end song "The Ring" (Finale), an anime called DNA^2 (Blurry Eyes)... man... good times...
On youtube, checkout IroJiro and HJFreaks(NSFW). They both play anime songs and stuff from K-on in their own amazing styles. Although HJFreaks.... a little scary...

I love anime! As a bassist, I really like the fact that there are a lot of shows about music now, a la Beck. I also work as a voiceover talent in New York City, and have been taking voice lessons from Jay Snyder, an actor who has had lead roles in English Dubs for Samurai Deeper Kyo, Descendants of Darkness, and his most well known voices from Yugioh. I enjoy how the animation and the music go hand in hand in a lot of these shows.
Lol, I've been meaning join this club for the longest but I want to actual have a cover up first so look forward to that .
