one-shot wonders
Here I list bands or groups that only have one or two good songs that I like.
The List:
- Hyde - Evergreen
A work by the L'Arc vocalist. It's a slow song, and very light, but it sounds nice and is soothing to the ear. I haven't heard Hyde's other stuff, and I probably won't.
- LIV - TRY
This song is the only good song by this band, also named for its vocalist, Oshio Manabu. It's partially in English, and he doesn't mangle it like most other J-Rock vocalists. That alone is a reason to download this song.
- Myuji - eX Dream
This song was used as the opening song for the spectacular anime X. Worth downloading. The artiste's other stuff is rubbish, though.
- J - Pyromania
This is the only good song by J after Luna Sea's disbanding, apparently. I don't know, I haven't heard the others. This one is pretty cool though.
- Sugizo - Super Love
This song has a very Luna Sea feel. Most of his other stuff is generic techno stuff, so bleh. This is the only one I think is good.
- The Yellow Monkey - Tactics
This is a cool rockin' song that was used for the first ending theme for the anime Rurouni Kenshin. I've heard his other stuff isn't half bad either.
- Spirit Level - For My Pride
This song was used as one of the ending themes for the anime Shadow Skill. The anime was mediocre but the song is pretty neat. It doesn't seem like they have any other stuff, though.
- pHI - Knife of Romance
Another anime ending theme, this time for the Angel Sanctuary OVA. I can't say I'm a fan of the anime, but this song is good. This group was apparently scouted by Hide :D
- Gackt - Vanilla
A nice energetic song. I don't like his other works, though. This is the best by far.
- To Destination - Eden
Yami no Matsuei opening theme. The composition was done by the leader of Do As Infinity, a J-Pop/rock group. The song is good, but the vocalist is awful, and sounds so much like L'Arc's Hyde it isn't funny.
