Why aren't they more popular?

They don't have a keyboardist

Are your standards for "popular" warped by 2020 zoomer standards? I remember when a Youtube video with 100k views was easily considered viral; now that's the bare minimum for it to not be obscure.
800k listeners is plenty of people OP.

Well, yes? We're in 2025.

>>279854893
My suggestion is that these standards are ridiculous and inflated.

They're insanely popular for a "band" (which is just some dude from Elements Garden/Hifumi/some other music production company writing songs with Kita as the vocalist). With the exception of that one song written by tricot's songwriter I suppose. Same goes for any nu-doris and toge2

>>279854935
They are. Notice also that zoomers are so addicted to comparing numbers of stuff they listen to, they'll straight up compare numbers of non-bands just so they can feel better about the shit they listen to

Most of their songs are pretty generic girl J-Rock.

spotify is pushing for more AI music now to avoid paying royalties to real musicians

ok

fotm anime

Really? I stopped using streaming platforms like that years ago (mainly because Spotify patched the exploit that let you listen ad-free while gimping their user interface).
What you're saying is pretty wild to me. Given how shrewd Japanese companies tend to be I can only imagine we'll be hearing more AI-generated music and SFX in anime and related media mix entries.

What does AI music sound like?

Not him but AI music is great.

Spotify desktop is completely ad free if you enable the repeat song button each time you play a song

Where are the trumpets? A good band needs brass.

FOTM has lost it's original meaning, now it's just generic insult against [anime I don't like]

>>279854604 (OP)
No season 2

>>279854604 (OP)
J-Rock sucks.

>>279855249
Interesting. I would probably go to /mu/ to ask the anons with a background in music theory and/or music production if there is anything anomalous about this track, but from what I hear that board as fallen to a zombie army of kpop simps.

Its UI is idiotproofed garbage

>>279855249
The instrumentals sound too simplistic

thats more listeners than many beloved real bands yet they only have like 1 album? I can't wait for more songs dropping with season 2, bocchi and frieren saved anime from the dark ages

Looks popular to me seeing they're from a small island

>>279855967
Well it's not just any small island. Japan has the second or third largest music industry on the planet IIRC

>>279856056
>>279855967
japan isn't small its the size of germany

>>279854604 (OP)
They only have one (1) good song
Karakara

>>279856106
That poster was making a tongue in cheek reference to the Japanese habit of referring to their own country as a "small island nation in the Pacific"

>>279854604 (OP)
Thats pretty fuckinf popular considering they aren't even a real band that actively releases music and tours.
