Thoughts on Creepy Nuts

Why do people associate them with pop music when its clearly rap. I mean the vocalist was a succesful battle rapper and the dj has win on the international level and even perform in the Olympics. I get it's pop rap but why do rap fans in Japan perceive their music this way?

Song recs?

Couldn’t find any recent post asking for song recommendations that have half Japanese and half English on them.

So I’m looking for song recs with that mind. If it’s purely Japanese I like songs that’s easy to sing along to like with easy beats or melody to it. Not a fan of heavy metal though.

Anything would be much appreciated!

Was wondering if anyone could help me find a song i heard maybe 10 years ago

So i was just faintly reminded of this so ill give yall what I can. So about 10y ago I had a Pandora (cant get into it anymore) it started with re:re: by akg then added sambomaster, the pillows, high and mighty color etc. Some intro/outro songs from anime at the time but mostly i was deep diving that style of rock. So the song in question was kinda a rap/hip hop style, slowish and almost more spoken than sung but the chorus was sung the only word i remember is before the chorus he said datte(?) Dudes voice was deep and blusey and I think the cover of the album was like a grey building and windows almost like an alley but I might also be thinking of something else with that. If yall would know with this little info I'd be impressed and very grateful

I need help to find the anime a song is from

The song is Yours by Yuki Saito, me and a friend of mine both recognize it and know it's from an anime but for the life of us can't find which one, I want to watch it again but can't remember what it was, please help Song link: https://open.spotify.com/track/7FlKUcPudGd2MpgSB2RXrR?si=8ZA70GKrSQ-wTuNHvy57xg Edit: I might have confused it with the outro to my dress up darling as it has been awhile since I last watched it, but the songs still don't seem similar enough to be it

The most beautiful Japanese albums?

I'm not looking for any specific genre, although something post-rock would be nice. But you can recommend anything as long as you consider it a beautiful album.

Looking forward to your suggestions!
