MusicBrainz

This a two part MusicBrainz tutorial in two posts... the why first. What is MusicBrainz? It is a user-maintained open community that collects, and makes available to the public, music metadata in the form of a relational database.

Anatakikou [あなたきこう]

Anatakikou’s light rock sound is understated class. Bringing together three musicians that are not only talented but comfortable producing music both acoustically or electronically. I talked with Anatakikou members Houjoh Masaki [Vocal, Guitar], Matsuura Masaki [Vocal, Guitar] and Fujii Toshimitsu [Drums, Vocal] about their overseas fans and the album Gradation’12.
First, could you please introduce yourselves?
Matsuura: [...]

The Court

Formerly O-Front and now the The Court. This band’s rock instrumentals are both driven and retrospective melodies, sometimes all in one song. These apparent contradictions in tempo and melody, meld together under the deeply moving vocals of front-man Tokizaki Satoshi. The Court members are Tokizaki Satoshi [Vocal, Guitar], Watanabe Masaya [Bass] and Tanokuchi Shinkai [Drums].
