Why have music artists become so controversial in the anime fandom? I have yet to run into a single Sailor Moon fan who's NOT pretty angry/displeased/disappointed about Momoiro Clover Z performing the new anime's theme song...

Probably a dumb question to ask since I probably can google search it anyway. But for the sake of making good, simple conversation instead, who's Momoiro Clover Z?


the greatest thing produced by Japan in a long time. Very Happy

here, have some Z densetsu

and Pokemon Very Happy

That's more likely people complaining they're not using the orginal singer/song rather than a slam against their talent.

You know I always wonder does Japan have their equivalent of Lady Gaga, Katey Perry, Nicky Minaj. Does Japan have someone equivalent of Adele


What would you consider an equivalent? Similar music style? singing style? looks? stage presence? attitude? I'm under the impression that Gaga and Katy Perry are heavily influenced / inspired by Japanese pop culture (afair they said as much in interviews).

Lady Gaga is sometimes called the "american Ayumi Hamasaki" (while Ayu has been called "japanese Madonna"). Two shorter tributes, or try watching her "Sparkle" music video.
For Katy Perry, maybe Kaela Kimura? (commercial for her album and single) similar weird hair colors Very Happy


Yeah I can tell that both Katey Perry and Lady Gaga are maybe somewhat could be anime fan, I know Lady Gaga made a special bracelet to dedicate to people in Japan that died during the earthquake/tsunami last year (was really nice of her). I never heard of Kaela Kimura (well reading about her on wikipedia, she's sound interesting), but still thanks for the info.

Yep, Japan produces more s*** than they do good stuff too. Ya guys just don't hear most of it (or maybe just can't tell). Laughing


Stop waving your patriotism there citizen.


yeah, dude, stop being totally objective and logical.



japan totally produces a quantitative amount of audible garbage equal to america's crappy music, but because they're not native to the country, some foreigners will sit around listening to the japanese equivalent to green day and avril lavign, spouting off about how amazing it is, and how well the lyrics fit that particular arc of narutu, despite it being god awful to any japanese person with decent musical acumen.

That's most likely the case, but I can't see how anyone would expect the original singers to return to perform the theme song, when they are long gone.

Hey, I guessed right, she is doing covers! And "Bad Reputation" describes the One Piece characters well! Even Oda agrees with me on that one!Cool I don't see how "How You Remind Me" fits with One Piece's characters and themes, though *shruggs*

As for this whole argument about which country produces the worst pop songs that become profitable despite their lack of artistic merit, excuse me for quoting an American cartoon on an anime forum, but I think Dipper from Gravity Falls put it best when he said:

Quote:
...cause dangit, top 40 hits are the top 40 for a reason; they’re catchy!


I had "How You Remind Me" stuck in my head for months when it first came out.

Pretty much this. Whenever you're in a country with a rather strong local music market production (the US of course but also the UK, Japan, France etc.), you'll have a vocal minority saying that (most of) what is produced is crap and that it's obviously better in other countries with more tasteful people. As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. ^^


(Emphasis mine) Yep, the grass is always greener, but are there really British people who don't like British music??? How high can your pop & rock standards be?

Kinda scared about that Nickelback cover, but the Joan Jett one isn't too bad.

Still it's a weird fit Avril & One Piece. I'm still surprised they haven't chatted with Flogging Molly about doing a song for either the film or series (considering their popularity in Japan and the fact that their music would fit a whole lot better with the OP canon).

So, is Avril covering Nickelback's "How You Remind Me?" or are they just going to use the original song?
