Need more information. I'm ready for a new genre of music to jam to.
Try Casiopea, the Mint Jams album. Saw it in a green text. It's what made me fall in love with the genre.
Checked it out, it's pretty good but also reminds me of regular jazz, just with a bit more virtuoso mixed in as opposed to free play, so it's less laidback. Interesting concept
The only reason I listen to Casipea is because of that greentext too lmao
Thanks checking it out now. First association: Feels like I am in the lobby of a cool game 😁
I've been a listener of all types of jazz for about 15 years. In my experience, Japanese jazz is akin to having one of those YouTube 'chillhop lofi Jazz' live streams up. It isn't super technical and gets a bit repetitive to me, but it's nice to have on every now and then while I'm trying to multitask.
I misread "multitask" as "masturbate".
It's interchangeable
as OP said, Casiopea's Mint Jams is a bomb, I also suggest these albums I really enjoyed:
Look up T Square. Shit’s amazing

Dunno if this counts, but this is a pretty dope jazzy instrumental Japanese band that I love!

Ocean Drive - Katsumi Horii Project (1988)
Technically "jazz fusion", but it still slaps

Is it okay to share Spotify playlists? If so, I have a good sized (nearly 16 hours) Japanese jazz/bebop list I put together, track by track, awhile back. I haven't updated it in a bit cause depression is real, so there's probably lots more to add by now. Anyway, I didn't want to just pop off a link to a subscription service without asking, first...
Yay! Maybe a little bit more upbeat stuff than pure relaxation, but a good jumping off point, I hope, for everyone making more awesome playlists to share! Japanese Jazz & Dandy Bebop
There have been a couple attempts at platform agnostic playlist services... none of them seem to be up anymore.
That said, link it. I think people without accounts can at least see the list?
Please share the link! I would love this.
I want the link
Fuck yeah
I'd like that too! :)
👋 I want the link!
Good point. I should really put on some Casiopea.
exactly what I'm listening to right now.
Gran Turismo moment
What?
Gran Turismo uses lots of japanese jazz as menu music.
Ooh, thanks, and I'll check out their menu music
Machine & the Synergetic Nuts - Leap Second Neutral. Japanese jazz fusion.
Thanks!
Japanese smooth jazz is amazing
Soil & "Pimp" Sessions moment
Noooo I don't like Jazz
I need Rythm that stays around for more than 8 seconds, thanks.
