It may not be what you had in mind, but this is probably my favorite release from Japan this year. Lostage are a post-hardcore(?) band and the new album they dropped this year didn't disappoint me. I recommend them if you enjoy Number Girl, Bloodthirsty Butchers, maybe Mass of the Fermenting Dregs or anything similar.

Lostage - Echoes

Don't let the first track put you off if you're not into that kind of thing.

The World Destination was probably my favorite C82 release, but I'm sure everyone has it. The production was top notch and Takanashi Toriko was great on In The Flickering. I don't think I've heard her featured in anything else.

Flap+frog's 52 weeks album. I'm not sure if it was released in 2012 but I only got hold of it during this year's reitaisai. Check the reitaisai-dedicated mediafire and it's there fore sure. If I remember it right, that's how I got it. The archives have the link, in the reitaisai general thread OPs.

m3-30 was a shit
only like 5 good albums total so i'm not going to bother with a list

>>10171087

sambomaster dropped off another new album this year

This year?

I'm particularly fond of
Nana Mizuki's new album
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18070872

Dont hate me for posting something too obvious... Would post link but Mediafire is being too pussy this days and deleted this

does anyone have the while voi discography in lossless? especially those older albums with chata. kind of a bitch to look for them with mu dead and getting them from ru tracker or Chinese bbs.

please try to keep this thread alive for a day

boris released a cover of asobi seksu's "new years" and that's about all i needed to survive this year! asian kung-fu generation released a new album this year but i haven't listened to it.

zazen boys (mukai's group post-number girl) released their fifth album, stories, this year. like most zazen boys albums, first listens didn't generate much for me, but coming back to it a few months later i've found a lot to love in it. sorry i don't have a dl link but here's a song from it mukai posted as a preview of the album:
https://soundcloud.com/matsuristudio/zazen-boys-potato-salad

i also recommend my dead girlfriend's new album, underdrawing for three forms of unhappiness at the state of existence. bit of a pretentious title but the music is shoegazey and post-rocky.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbAkZP6H3hQ

>>10172340

i think chatmonchy is a little lost now without kumiko, honestly. henshin sounded really bland. maybe this will also have to grow on me?

>>10171052
Holy fuck, it's already comiket? But c82 was yesterday. Every year it's crazier.

>>10172485
Henshin has some brilliant moments. Agree that without Kumi there is a sense of incompleteness though

>>10172947

mind highlighting what you think some of those brilliant moments are so i can try giving those another listen?

also, while it was at the veryvery beginning of 2012, i'll take whatever chance i can to promote skirt no naka's chikotan. they broke up i think a few months ago, but this (mini?) album is fantastic. frantic and fairly dirty girls' rock group--very reminiscent of midori, honestly--with an incredible closing song on this album. no direct download link (i got mine from a torrent) but i may just look into uploading this one myself to get it out there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh3B0V2GIwo

speaking of midori: mariko goto released a solo album! it's not as psychotic as her work with midori but it's pretty distinctively her. and that's just fine! it's a lot "poppier," both in composition and production. i just love how she uses her voice. incredible control, reminds me of keiji haino, actually. so cute in some places, screaming horribly just a moment later, ah~ anyways, same case as skirt no naka, may upload it for y'all.

How are we already at number 83? Did they skip a bunch of years?

This is not from this year, and I'm making a shameless request.

Does anyone have this album in FLAC? I was only able to find a (partially corrupted) MP3 release of it. The original ripper's DDL and XDCC bots are dead, and the only torrent has 0 seeders.

Densou Gakudan - Gensouroku

Torrent here, if you can seed (ctrl-f for the album title, sorry the spam filter ate my direct link)
http://losslessone.fansub-torrents.com/

As for favorite /jp/ music of 2012, I'm pretty fond of Syrufit's new album, Blossom. Unfortunately, the DDL I used seems to have been taken down.

Sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrJkH6IBhW8

TeddyLoid's Electric Alice is good, too.

I thought it was a pretty disappointing year for original doujin music. As far as originals go, 「モルモティカc」 from C／U and 「幸せの国」 from Akashic Records were probably my favorite albums. M3-29 and M3-30, as well as C82 were generally disappointing for original music. As for Touhou music, it was pretty good, but not better than 2010 or 2011. Some nice releases during 例大祭9 and C82 mostly, as well as a few from 紅楼夢8. 「プチカミロマンティカ」, 「Night Gypsy -東方JAZZROCK-」, 「花色コントラスト」, 「悠久幻想郷」, 「あの日の蜃気楼」, 「focus and defocus」, and 「BlazeOut」 would probably be some of my favorite Touhou related releases this year. Also, that large Toranoana collaboration album was great. I'm still looking forward to C83.

I can't decide, I like all of these albums. Mamenoi - Tachyon, 秋の空 - 秋の空, Kuniaki Takenaga - Alice in Steamland, OrangeCoffee - Azure are my favorites. This year was good. I'm sure next year will be glorious.

It took me like 30 minutes to find a torrent client that wouldn't choke on a torrent of that size, and even longer to hunt down the album I was looking for (artist/circle name was in moonrunes), but it's there, all right. Ditto for all the other doujin music I've been listening to MP3s of for the past few years.

>>10175125
thanks for this.

>>10176619
and thank you as well - didnt know about Cordelia.

I think the best new discovery for me was CC＊=Style (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNNsfKKEhek).). Best album would go to Syrufits - White Clear (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSoZJsyUALo)), with FELTs - Stand Up coming in a close second. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr444SC1EBU).). Pastyle x IZMIZM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd60uxME5bI)) was a nice mix up, and a surprise to me was IOSYS with Quality Underground (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvS-vVzjuV4).).

I'm still pretty heavy on electronic, but there are a few groups i like for light rock or alternative, 豚乙女 and サリー of course. 彩音 ～xi-on～ was pretty good too.
2012 has brought some of the best music i've heard from touhou and doujin artists, no question. Ten desires has become quickly one of the best OSTS for touhou, if not my favorite as a result of all the great arranges.

>>10176619

Also not that big on vocaloid but I like that Taishi album (Human Beings Were Led to This Light).

I really like this song.

>>10182379

>>10181910

Looks like an ASTOST rip. Recently a few uploaders seems to allow lossless rips to be shared to other sites; some only allow 320k, and some no sharing. This uploader looks like he only wants 320k to be shared.

>>10182475
ah yeah poplica was great, too. zykotine as well.

the dubstep they tried to force into Poptrick was really out of place. the two tracks on Blossom were fucking incredible though.

most of the other good stuff has already been mentioned. been very pleased with the doujin electro and dnb this year.

Slutty sanae album cover.
PCB arranged.
No stale female vocalist like 3L or nagi.
No out of place motherfucker like the previous album.
Definitely the best DANCEHALL

>>10174698
Yes or no or love comes to mind. Also the third song, which i think is called Roman, i love how in the chorus she sings those notes as if her voice is about to crack. And those howls at the end of Mangetsu, thats the kind of stuff that got me into Chatmonchy in the first place

>>10182919
Did you mean ZYTOKINE?

Anyway, Whats difference between ZYTOKINE, CYTOKINE, and TOKINE?

I don't have anything against electro music. But, sometimes I wants to listen from Rock/Metal department.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeZvFWNISdM

>>10183377
http://vgmdb.net/org/993

My three favourite /jp/ related albums from this year.

[DiGiTAL WiNG] JULIANA'S TOHO Vol.1 TECHNO RAVE PARTY:
>Breakbeat Hardcore, Acid House, House, Techno
http://www.mediafire.com/?lp8mmf0p8b9k7ms

Doujin circles finally raving like it's 1992, Breakbeat Hardcore and Acid all up in this business. The shitty automated MC is a pain but try to ignore him, the album is quality.

[Pastyle] Asphyxia Report:
>Drum & Bass
http://www.mediafire.com/?uq2r3p7ga9878mc

Crossfade: https://soundcloud.com/laz-g/plcd-0005-asphyxia-report

Probably the best doujin Drum & Bass producer now that Fang seems to have lost his edge, Izna has gone full Jazz and Ziki_7 doesn't make as many tunes. What I particularly liked is that this album had a track on it which is like a lot of current D&B being released on Critical Music/Exit Music/Metalheadz, that was impressive.

[MINAMOTRANCE] neu erstellen:
>Drum & Bass
http://www.mediafire.com/?0eodoedh6dadec3

Crossfade: https://soundcloud.com/minamotoya/neu-erstellen

Another good Drum & Bass album even though it suffers from that typical doujin producer D&B sound (which only really Laz and Izna seem to be able to break away from). Some tracks skirt on the border of Drumstep/Brostep but ignore those. There's one old school Breakbeat Hardcore in the mix as well, which is great.

>>10183530
>Izna has gone full Jazz

Huh?

>>10183542

Fuck, I meant Bizen, owner of DDBY. They used to release some Drum & Bass/Liquid Funk touhou arranges (mainly on the Touhou Synthesis series, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXScdqV2fA0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkeTaVrFNfI)) but he's producing only JAzz now. Izna and IZMIZM are still D&B, which is good.

>>10183394
Great taste. But personally, in 2012 as a whole, I liked the same arranger's "Capital of Flowers in the Sky" better, but hey it's marginally.

I actually though that C81 was an amazing event as a whole, and somehow I didn't enjoy Reitaisai 9 and C83 as much. Still a lot of great albums, but I believe I think this might be the best one as a whole, a full 10/10 folk album. A debut album to boot.

CHRONOS RECORD - 幻想ノスタルヒアス
http://www.mediafire.com/?21cpy8c26xrz18i

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl8VDUDVEi0

>>10183377
Zytokine and Cytokine is 100% the same thing. They changed their name earlier this year.

Tokine is an arranger for Maikaze, and has no relation to Z/Cytokine.

I only started listening to doujin music this year but If I had to pick something I love the most out of the little I listened to it's definitely this album. It's short but I fell in love with all the songs in it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaOmlORQc1c

>>10183555
Oh right, cheers

>>10183583
If you started this year, you must have missed this. ichigo is my waifu.

>>10183588
Yes, I did miss it. (Though it's not like I'm listening just to 2012 releases, I just happened to grab a lot of those because I had no idea where to start).

I'll look for a download later, I heard their older stuff are even better.

Another favorite of mine this year is this album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62_zUKUwEeM

Bad thing about album is, most of the time the sample sounds so good but when you download and listen the full version....you just realize it is a pile of dogshit. And in uncommon case where as you only like one song from the whole album but you are force to download the whole thing just to get that song. Damn

>>10183596
>I heard their older stuff are even better.
As far as Touhou arrangements go, I disagree. I haven't heard each and everyone of their older releases, but .JP is easily the best Touhou album I've heard by them... Ichigo is a great vocalist though.

>>10183631
Well yeah.
However hoshinozora, literal world and seven world easily surpassed .JP.

>>10183630
Thanks.

DJ Technorch released a Mix CD for Murder Channel this year, which looks pretty great from the track selection (glad to see FFF getting a fair few tracks in it, blatantly the best producer on the label).

>>10171052
Maybe i dont understand japanese but, i just dont dig those song. Really not my cup of tea. The sample shows that the song have potential but downloading and listening the full version is kinda disappointing. For an example 2,3,5 have good vocal(i know its the same singer but what i mean how she actually sing the song) and arrangement but....it seems i find the short version of the sample manage to bring out its full potential. Inb4 hate gotta hate

I don't know what Murder Channel is, but I guess I'll look into it if you're saying it looks great.

why does almost every track linked feature dubstep? i can't stand dubstep, I don't want to see it take hold of japan

>>10187745
I ought to say "U MAD BRO" but no. I hated dubstep too... until Syrufit trapped me nicely in "innocent - Nhato Remix"

Since then I've been diggin' in.

>>10187795
I've listened to probably hundreds of dubstep tracks and it never stops being tuneless nonsense to me, I don't understand how you're supposed to dance to it.

The closest thing to dubstep I actually like is rage valley.

I'll be happy when this fad dies down.

>>10187893
>tuneless nonsense
That might just be the point.

Dubstep is all about exercising technical skill in controlling synthesizers, and creating interesting sound effects in the process. There is always a sense of dubstep being "lacking" if you try to evaluate like you do most other genres of music, because, to some extent, all dubstep tracks deliberately put the musical structure in the background to showcase the sound effects.

I'm the kind of person that can load up a Sega Genesis game in an emulator and play around with the sound effects for 10 minutes. I also can't help but enjoy breakcore. Dubstep appeals to me on similar levels. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy more traditional genres of music, it just means I listen to dubstep with a different mindset.

You might prefer some doujin dubstep tracks, like some of the stuff Syrufit and ALiCE'S EMOTiON do, as I find they do a better job of integrating their wubs into a traditional structure than mainstream artists (I liked someone's description of Syrufit's Invulnerable, that it had a wider range of emotion than just "FULL ON" like most dubstep tracks).

As for how you dance to it, I guess you drink a lot and do this?

I can listen to breakcore fine, in fact I really enjoy some breakcore and I can appreciate the technical aspect of it to some extent having tried to make some electronic music myself.

It just frustrates me that it's genre of dance music where you are always trying to dance to the previous beat because you don't have a clue what's coming, obviously before the drop this isn't a problem but that bit is just there so you can get to the part which is actually dubstep. Surely they could just use the same noises in something which which keeps a regular beat but I suppose that's the point.

I have no doubt if I was at something like that I'd be doing exactly the same thing as everyone else and loving every second of it.

Maybe it's just because I choose to define dubstep as the music with all the wubs and none of the tune and I'm too out of touch to understand what all the hip youth are into nowadays.

Murder Channel is a record label that releases quite a wide variety of music, mainly Breakcore, Hardcore, Jungle/Raggacore and Dubstep (proper Dubstep, no brostep). Most of the stuff they put out is good if you like experimental/harder EDM. As someone who loves Jungle, I like the LPs from FFF on it (sample of his shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iezLNmfTVd4, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z511P8VQ-pU).). Pic related, my favourite release on Murder Channel.

I wouldn't mind if it was Dubstep, but it;'s all electro-house/Brostep, which I just can't get into. If Japan had ever heard of any UKG then we might get some decent Dubstep from them but they haven't, so it's quite hard to find (this remains the only good Touhou Dubstep arrange I have heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxMJB44LluQ).).

>>10188946
I do hope you have heard some non Brostep Dubstep, particularly if you are a fan of sound engineering and the like, people like Kryptic Minds, Digital Mystikz, Leofah, Kromestar, Goth-Trad, Silkie, Plastician, DJ Madd, Youngsta, Appleblim, Shackleton etc.

Touhou sucks

>>10191113
Your tastes are even worse.

>>10191113
Aw shit, you are truly mah nigga. Btw, if you ever get a chance, see Myosuke spin live, that shit is awesome.

>>10191203
Myosuke is a pretty cool guy. Does he stream sometimes?

Psycho Filth Records and Ontembaar Ster Records released some nice stuff this year too. But I enjoy electro/house/trance chillout music more than hardcore/gabber/speedcore so it's not up on the list. I do listen to it sometimes when I'm in the mood though.

>>10186539
please be more specific.

>>10191458
google.com

>>10191113
gotta say, i listened to pretty much everything you listed and i agree with most, but hardcore grew old pretty quickly. diverse system is easily my most listened right now. pretty chill sound on some of the songs, makes me want to go back to some old Lix tracks.

cant get enough of this track:

RIC is awesome.

>>10191113
Perfect.

>>10192211
That track was so good. Definitely the standout of the album, along with Rin and Ryunosuke Kudo's songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-udMnuuu0A is another great RIC song.

Has anybody here heard Dxliant Child's new album, "Dreaming, Seeking, Awakening"? This time he's actually selling it as a CD, and for some reason it's only for sale in China via taobao.

http://www.dxtliant-child.org/dreamingseekingawakening-on-sale/

There are demos of the first two tracks on the Chinese version of that page. Dxtliant Child's music is excellent instrumental, classical-ish stuff, by the way.

>>10192540
Forgot to mention, it's Touhou arranges.

>>10192540
>for some reason it's only for sale in China via taobao
He's Chinese. That's why he kept uploading them to share with the Comiket tag; the guy couldn't actually go to Comiket. Smart move, more people who feel limited by money/time and can't attend should let this inspire them.

>>10190621
Songs for x girlz was his best album and if you disagree you're factually incorrect.

>>10171206
I'm really feelin' this! Thank you

I really liked Rainbow Spell, dunno why.
Can't be bothered to find a link right now because I'm going delusional from lack of sleep.

I haven't even listened to my most anticipated album yet.I've waited for 7 months god damn.

>>10194901
i think you mean answer from x girlz
otherwise you're factually incorrect

>>10189305
holy shit someone with good taste
i didn't know mode:experience was uploaded. thanks for the alert.

>>10198397
Is it not out or have you just been procrastinating?

>>10198655
But... No...

ZUN's Trojan Green was the best. It was just so good.

>>10198397
Any mediafire on this one...?
I found the demo on youtube and enjoyed
>http://youtu.be/9x1X83OTUm4

>>10198721

>>10198397
i fucking love minimum electric design

can't wait for their c83 release, even though they're mostly rereleases

>>10200482
Well atleast I hope someone will upload Focus and Defocus this time

Why does the Touhou fandom produce so much good music? Or do we just have awful taste?

>>10200740
It's similar to when a song gets popular on YouTube and everyone comes out of the woodwork to remix it. Some of those remixes are going to be decent.

Touhou is like that, but with a huge fan base and more songs.
