I don't get how someone could think J-Pop is weird, especially in comparison to the majority of the stuff on the airwaves these days.

To answer dark's question, my favorite singer would be the lady who sang Starry Night, which is the opening song for Tales of Symphonia.

I don't listen to anything on the airwaves these days 



Also, I don't think J-Pop is weird in general, I just don't like the music. I was just saying that Hatsune Miku specifically was weird. I mean how is a synthesized/animated japanese schoolgirl performing live with a bunch of middle aged japanese dudes NOT at least a little bit weird?

Maybe I've seen Macross Plus one too many times, but every time I see her/it I can't help but wonder how much longer it will be before she starts murdering people.

QUESTION -

(You can only choose *ONE*; none of that old & wishy-washy "it's a tie between ___ & ___" nonsense)...be decisive, folks!

Name your favorite singer/lyricist, current or not, on video game music, OST's, etc.

I've gotta name Emi Evans (NieR & Drakangard 3); hand down 

nobuo uematsu

What's he sang on?

I was assuming composers were allowed too because of OST'S

I love me some Uematsu too but, I was going/looking for *voices* with this one...

Alright then RIKKI - Suteki da ne

Oh yeah!

Anyone know who's beautiful voice it is singing the vocals for Persona's "Velvet Room" - I love dat' voice; reminds me a bit of Amy Lee (from Evanescence) 

I also remember thinking that whoever it was singing the female vocals from Eternal Poison (PS2; you played that too, right Kashy?)  had a sweet & strong voice.

And...wtf's her name?
Sang "1,000 years" in FFX-2 - another pleasing voice!

Don't get me wrong folks, Emi Evans is still, hand down, my favorite...just listing some others that I like

Lol, my wife despises the Velvet Room song. After putting something like 150 hours into P4 Golden before finishing it, when she then started up P3 Portable (yeah, she's going backwards ) she goes "Oh no, it's the SAME SONG for the Velvet Room!?!?!"

I just went and listened to it on Youtube, and while her voice sounds clear, these kinds of vocals do get on my nerves too  So I guess she's not alone!

Just for the record, I think J-pop is a bit strange, too. But then, I'm a lifelong metalhead so that's bit of the pot calling the tea-kettle black on my part.

Ha I catch myself doing that often.  I'll listen to a song/genre and think "this is weird..." and then realize that the 90s Funeral Doom Metal album I just listened to is equally as strange.

[Bwigdahl]

I'm primarily an old hiphop head. mostly early 90s stuff like Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Tribe. I've never really gotten into anything heavier than like Slayer when it comes to metal. My favorite rock band is Queens of the Stone Age and is probably the most modern thing I listen to, lol... Well them and Mastodon

Ar nosurge completed. Done with that game. Washing my hands of it. XD

So Dragon Quest II is getting re-released, and a official new translation in the new Ios/Android port. What is really interesting here is that they didnt port the original super famicom version, but they redid the graphics based on the Dragon Quest III remake so it looks pretty good. Plus SE finally gave us a break on pricing it high, so its only $5.  You may want to check it out if you like the series, or want to check out the new stuff in the game. Only issues are the controls and a fixed portrait mode.

Update: There also was a dragon quest I port to android/ios that came out a month ago and has the same dragon quest 3 graphical update to it, and is going for the cheap price of $2.99 considering how short the game is. The dragon quest 3 graphics design for the remakes seems like a very cost saving measure to avoid having to entirely redo all of the graphics for more modern consoles by using a tileset from 1996, and saving a lot of money in the process.
