More funky sorta thing.

Metal
- Dio - Holy Diver - BTW I could potentially put this in anime, cause there's a character named Dio, named after DIO.
- [Official Video] Unlucky Morpheus - 「Knight of Sword」 - Long form melodic metal I think this is.
- [Official Video] Unlucky Morpheus - 「CADAVER」「REVADAC」
- 人間椅子「宇宙からの色」（NINGEN ISU 「The Colour out of Space」） - Found interesting the horror metal aesthetic they have.
- 人間椅子「なまはげ」"Namahage" （AL「無頼豊饒」より）
- BABYMETAL - メギツネ - MEGITSUNE (OFFICIAL) - Have listened to it a bunch, quite catchy, even if I hate their choreographies.
- X JAPAN - 紅 Kurenai (Full Band Cover) Off Vocal ver.
- X JAPAN - Silent Jealousy (Full Band Cover) by Daisuke Kurosawa 黒沢ダイスケ
- サウンド制作スタジオ「INSPION」テーマ曲（フルバンド ロングバージョン） - Pretty sick metal I thought. Plus cute drummer. Pretty sure I shared this in a previous email.
Drums
Is it obvious I like cute girls? haha
- ルパン三世のテーマDrum Cover
- Constant Motion Drum Cover
- Slipknot / Before I Forget 叩いてみた！
- 【あそびあそばせ】インキャインパルス フルを叩いてみた / Asobi Asobase Ending Full Inkya Impulse Drum Cover - (Note this was already in anime, just not a cover.)
- Drum Solo by Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett
Miscellaneous
- XAVER VARNUS PLAYS BACH'S TOCCATA & FUGUE IN THE BERLINER DOM - Quite a slow slow rendition I thought. Often they're too fast, but this one is too slow. Hard to get someone to interpret it just in that sweet spot.
- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)
- Fkj & Masego - Tadow
- アカリがやってきたぞっ - Wonderful example of the huge variety of Japanese onomatopeia. A lot of actions (like shuffling around, staring, spinning, even being quiet) are communicated with onomatopeia instead of normal words. Japanese is very very expressive in this sense and I love it.
- Dance of Pales (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) - Piano cover.
Enka
I'm no good judge of this genre, because it's less about the music and more about the lyrics and their meaning, and the singer putting it across well.
- Enka - itsuki hiroshi
- 京都二年坂 伍代夏子Godai Natsuko
- Enka music 1
- 1984 Masako Mori Sazanka no Yado
- Hikawa Kiyoshi - Kitaguni no Haru live 2011 (English sub)
Prog rock (or something like that)
- jizue "atom" (Official Music Video)
- toconoma "orbit" MV
- toconoma"relive" MV
- Fox Capture Plan - Supersonic
- AUDIO ARCHITECTURE (Studio Live Version)
- Yes - Roundabout
Albums
- Yakushimaru Etsuko - RADIO ONSEN UTOPIA - Quite a cutesy album, I'd say. Several of these songs are in anime.
- Wandering EP by Yosi Horikawa - An interesting experimental album. Listen to those marbles.
Not actually music, videos
