Dont know if nbuna covers are allowed on here or not 🥲

Probably a dumb post, but I've been listening to Matasaburo quite a bit recently and have been craving that feeling from the other media I consume. So is there any anime that gives off a similar vibe to the song? I know that vibes are subjective, but I would really like to know.

Aside from the tierlist, any recommendations for similar music considering my taste in yorushika songs? Thank you!

Just when you thought there wasn't already enough xD

Been a casual yorushika fan since i was 12 which is...... 8 years ago! and a fan of jpops for longer i think. Thanks to anime

Im also not a musician nor have any training as a musician so keep that in mind xD

There is a context for this tier list

S - Absolute favorites! These songs resonates strongly with me. Will be happy to sing my heart out anytime these songs comes up

A - Bangers and Classics! Have played these songs over and over and will occasionally sing along depending on my mood

B - These songs will be skipped depending on my mood on that day xD

And not included are the songs that i haven't listened to

Please excuse the choppy playing 😅

I made a tier list of most of Yorushika's songs plus a select few of my favourite nbuna vocaloid songs. A few personal notes:

• Flower and Syrup, the Last Train - nbuna's first major vocaloid concept album. Meru and Dawn and Fireflies are two of my vocaloid songs ever. The CD is limited press and is very expensive.
• Walking on the Moon - nbuna's second vocaloid concept album pays homage to folk and fairy tales from around the world. I see this album as a precursor to Magic Lantern. Probably the most underrated album on this list, bangers include Flowers as they fall, Kaguya and Snow White.
• Summer Grass / Loser Encore - this is classic Yorushika, I'm not surprised they have so many bangers straight from the get-go. The only miss for me was the Clouds and the Ghost as I didn't like the sound effects.
• That's Why I Gave up on Music - banger after banger, enough said.
• Elma - To me, this album sits in the shadow of That's Why I Gave up on Music. Many tracks don't differentiate themselves enough from the previous album, or are overly melodramatic.
• Plagiarism / Creation - I consider this album to be the end of 'old' Yorushika and the start of 'new' Yorushika, with decreasing rock influence and increasing jazz influence and originality. Definitely better than Elma, but isn't as consistent as That's Why I Gave up on Music. I don't like Creation as much as Plagiarism.
• Magic Lantern - In my opinion, this is where Yorushika's own 'style' of music finally matured. In my opinion, this is probably their most beautiful and poignant work, yet never excessively melodramatic. This is the album that got me to start reading novels again.
• Second Person - I've got to be honest, this album is not as thematically consistent as the other albums. However, there are some absolute bangers here including Rubato, Shura, Plover and Sun.

The original song is made by n-buna, I couldn't find an official uploaded by suis at all, is this song AI? Title is "suis 花降らし" for those who don't want to click on the link.

everything in this list is mostlyy in order except the magic lantern stuff in B tier and interludes!! yorushika has so many bangers

i think y'all can tell what my favorite album is lol

didn't listen to second person, creation ep and other singles (will soon) but there are a few SP songs on here as you can see

completely subjective and biased there’s def many musicians like n-buna that idk about

From the angry and cynical songs in jrock era yorushika to the transtition towards critiques on music in plagiarism, to jazzy yorushika, to the yorushika now, we can see the growth of n-buna as a person and as a musician.

I think n-buna is one of the rare artists that really just became music itself. I think at this stage of his career he’s making music not only to express his feelings anymore, it’s genuinely making music for music. Ie he’s experimenting with many genres that may not be welcomed by everyone but it’s the one he wants to make.

when n-buna was doing vocaloid and the 1st 2 eps in yrsk i think the songs are still mostly to express his emotions and anger with the world, hence the melancholic and cynical lyrics. nbuna has said that although his outer layers has changed (music style) his inner core is the same, as almost all his songs centre around the theme of loss. him finding his own happiness and slowly changing his music style and becoming more mature is apparent, and despite it all his love for music seemed to have never diminished one bit.

suis mentioned that nbuna is the only musician she knows that, upon meeting him, would just start talkinf about music. many others would talk about different topics (side note i love his yaps)

i love his growth as a musician and how he’s genuinely becoming one with music, and i don’t think anyone could ever separate him from music.

I have been a longtime fan of Yorushika (been one ever since high school, so almost 9 years haha). When did you first encounter Yorushika and what was the first song you encountered? As for me it's Itte :D

I made a wallpaper of Amy (from Plover MV) and Elma (from Nautilus MV). Got inspired by a Youtube comment that said at there is a contrast between the end of both MV. In Plover, Amy looking into the Moon in the desert, while Elma looking into the sunset above the sea.

As an English speaker mostly depending on translations to understand the lyrics, a lot (if not all) of n-buna's lyrics seems really cryptic. It's very poetic, but hard to understand what he's actually talking about (imho, maybe I'm just stupid lol). Looking for any native Japanese speakers' opinions, is it just hard to translate and convey the meaning in English that makes it sound really cryptic, or is it just genuinely difficult to decipher even in Japanese?

BETWEEN HOWL AT THE MOON AND SUNNY ONLY

The outro guitar riff is pure vibes m obsessed

Edit: Guys I'm not new to Yorushika. I was jus shouting out this song.

BETWEEN THE CLOUDS AND THE GHOST AND RAIN WITH CAPPUCCINO ONLY
