airbuds
what are the haikyuu boys listening to? characters: miya twins, suna, sakusa, bokuto, hinata content: set in timeskip hi its been a while! pls take this humble offering while i try to get it together
Tumblr media
MIYA OSAMU
defo listens to indie pop/jazz, think laufey, clairo, beabadoobee, UMI, the marias, etc.
running his own business proved to be v stressful so he finds his peace through music
usually has music on when he opens and closes the restaurant and uses that time to decompress and listen to any new releases 
Tumblr media
MIYA ATSUMU
electronic and upbeat pop music! he was jamming out to HOT TO GO! before it was popular thank you very much
charli xcx, beyoncé, kesha, katy perry, lady gaga, you know the vibes 
is a survivor of the renaissance tour ticketing fiasco 
i hc him as pretty social media savvy so he’s always on the lookout for a trend and had himself a brat summer 
Tumblr media
SUNA RINTAROU
an r&b album hates to see him coming
bryson tiller, partynextdoor, sza, summer walker, drake, he’s overplaying it to hell
his music taste aligns more w osamu so he’s constantly sending him song recs 
he's always in his feelings at the gym, he’s next to the weight rack about to cry, komori’s asking what’s wrong w him and he’s just listening to his playlist 
Tumblr media
SAKUSA KIYOOMI
“i listen to everything” headass
he has no playlists and just shuffles his liked songs, doesn’t understand why people think he’s crazy
atsumu let him on the aux once and never again after hearing newjeans transition to playboi carti
Tumblr media
BOKUTO KOUTAROU
hinata put him on to reggaeton and brazilian phonk and he hasn’t listened to anything else since that day
always trying to learn the dances he sees on tiktok and doing them during practice, coach foster is not impressed 
had a TIME at the rio olympics i just know it
Tumblr media
HINATA SHOYO
kpop and jpop idol music
wanted a way to relate to his little sister and it ended up sticking
those brothers that bring their sister to concerts so it looks like they’re just tagging along but the sister is the one who’s getting dragged along by their superfan brother, yeah that’s them

love how fitmc of 2b2t constantly proves people wrong. He will never engage in gay rp with a latino cutie. FALSE. His cubito lore will ruin hearts and friendships. FALSE. He will never dance to brazilian phonk mid-stream. FALSE. love it

Old meets new in a glorious clash of cultures in ATARASHII GAKKO!’s new video for ‘Toryanse.’
Inspired by a popular Japanese nursery rhyme often played at crosswalks to signal when it’s safe to walk, the four-piece combine cultural traditions with Brazilian-inspired dance pop as they sing about persevering through tough times. And, naturally, they perform a killer dance routine (✿◠‿◠)
Says the group (via Broadway World):
'Toryanse is a song that combines playful and nostalgic lyrics from Japanese nursery rhymes with vibrant beats of Brazilian phonk. To the four of us, this song reflects the joy and pride growing up in Japan. Come dance with us!'
Read the review for ATARASHII GAKKO’s SNACKTIME EP here.

Number 2 for Mara?
Question list here
2. what sort of music would they like? have you thought about what genres or bands do they lean towards? do they have a favorite song?
Tumblr media
Mara is 💯a Latina, Brazilian girlie. She loves to dance and anything that gets her hips shaking she vibes with. Though I'd say one of her favorites is hands down Pop and PHONK. Her favorite Artist is
SATURDAYS (Aka the Weeknd)
Mara's theme (LoNC timeline) Gasoline - SATURDAYS (The Weeknd) Moth to a Flame - IKEA Mafia (The Swedish House Mafia) Ft Saturdays (The Weeknd) (Okay.... i love making up alternate names for bands so much. I am laughing at IKEA Mafia lmao)
Samples from Mara's PHONK playlist:
Mara's combat theme - LAZERPUNK (Canon name is the same) Heavy Weapon - LAZERPUNK Give it to me PHONK remix Divine Virus - Essenger - Legends of Night City Theme (okay... its my pick for the theme at least.)
Depending on what timeline it is, Mara listens to South African rockerboy sensation J I H Z Z Y.
If J I H Z Z Y & Mara get together (Legend of Night City timeline), J I H Z Z Y will change his look and sound sometime after he writes his first single since coming to Night City, changing his whole genre, after becoming inspired the night J I H Z Z Y and Mara hooked up at GAMORA. (Yes, this was his song to Mara) Alright - J I H Z Z Y (Jamiroquai) IF He and Mara do not get together after sometime living in Container District - 82 HOOLIGANG - J I H Z Z Y (Joey Valence & Brae)
And some BONUS for stinkin-- I mean sticking around.
Music Mara & Jack would sneak out and go to Little China to see their favorite bands. Parasite - Electric Callboy WE GOT THE MOVES - Electric Callboy PUMP IT - Electric Callboy

Tagged by @retiredtothebriars to list five songs I'm currently listening to <3 and hoho, I've only been listening to brazilian queer-funk-brega-noise-electronic music lately, and I have so many feelings about it, so strap in for more than a list and some really specific recommendations:
• Amor Sem Lei - Matheus Carrilho
he is the papai of queer brega("corny"), if you like this one then listen to everything by him and his collabs
• Arregaçada / U can't touch this - Banda Uó
band with papai and other two insanely good musicians, all the fun you need in your life is in this band
• Jenga - CHAMALEO
a gay who does really good noise music, if you like kpop, then welcome to the genre of latino musicians they are copying everything from ( I say that as a kpop fan who gets pissed off at the white european names in every song production ). another queer poc artist that I always feel the white producers putting their dirty colonialist claws on is Urias, can't recommend her enough if you like noise music or vogue dance or lyrics that make you feel gosebumps from how powerful they are
• Phonk-me -Jaloo
Jaloo is everything, I am not exaggerating. she is self produced and the narrative and visuals that her three albums follows is so consistent and strong, if I think about the underlying theme of northeastern migration issues in my country I will cry, they feel extremely personal to me, and she does all of that with the most well written poetic lyrics and still talking about what really matters; eroticism, sex and depravity. this last album is a masterpiece, with songs like "I want to see you come while you make me cry" and also the last one "the big city will kill me" tying in with the bright eyed rose colored view of a newcomer northeastern immigrant perspective of the big city and the first aggressions suffered in the first album. all of her albums are also masterpieces, so I cannot recommend her enough. and I'm going to see her live tomorrow for the first time in an eras tour and will cry about it.
• Monalisa - Deize Tigrona, JLZ
thia song makes me feel so much and will probably be my most played song of the year, the lyrics, the narrative, the way that the second verse hits different when the production adds more to it. the afro-futurism of it all. and I don't even need to say anything about Deize because if you know anything about the history of Brazilian Funk from Rio then you know her, Icon.
and if you somehow vibe with any of these songs and want to listen to more like it, I'll like my on repeat playlist here 💕
and I'm terrible at tagging and this was just supposed to be a simple list lmao but feel tagged by me if u want to do the long or short version💗 except my beloved @happyprinceling you have to do this I am tagging you, you are bound to it now. what have you been listening to, shame should not be a factor in your life.

Everything about the Brazilian Robot Masters! (1)
Iara Woman/DPN-000
A Robot Master programmed to take care of the animals that inhabit the Amazon River, like Piranhas, Manatees, Candirus and Alligators.
As her name suggests, she is almost completely Iara, with the only difference being her is that she is a Robot Master (lol).
"Why don't you come take a dip here?" - Iara Woman
Funk Man/DPN-001
A Robot Master programmed to entertain people at Funk dances in cities like Rio de Janeiro.
In addition to being a Funkeiro, Funk Man has also composed songs from the "Brazilian Phonk" subgenre that are famous worldwide.
"Piui Tic Tac, young girl feel free, you can sit on the hottie, chocolate condom...." - Funk Man (Yes, that's an excerpt from Funk lol)
Carnaval Man/DPN-002
A Robot Master programmed to perform at Carnaval parties and participate in carnaval games, like Karaoke, Face Painting and Costume Parade.
In addition to being a true carnival star, Carnaval Man is Funk Man's best friend, who has already performed alongside him.
"Hey kid, let's dance samba?" - Carnaval Man
Macaw Woman/DPN-003
A Robot Master programmed to care for and protect all species of Macaws in the world such as the Blue Macaw, Red Macaw, among others.
In addition to protecting and caring for the Macaws, she also takes care of other species of animals that live in the Pantanal
"I know how to fly and you don't do the same" - Macaw Woman
Curupira Man/DPN-004
A Robot Master programmed to protect the Amazon Rainforest from possible threats from vandals and hunters.
Because he is almost literally Curupira, Curupira Man acts in the same way as Curupira himself, scaring and deceiving hunters and vandals who invade the forest.
"Get out of here N-O-W" - Curupira Man
Carioca Man/???-???
A Robot Master whose creator is unknown, was programmed to help bandits wreak terror and chaos in the favelas and rest of Rio de Janeiro city.
Since he's a literal bad guy, there's nothing the police can supposedly do... But Mega Man can help!
"Get out of my way before you get shot in the face" - Carioca Man

Kai's Chart Debut Reviews: Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Charts (10/12/24)
Interesting week. Under Your Spell almost top 10, KEEP UP dropping places, and a set of interesting debuts on our hands here (am very surprised Home did not debut tbf).
23: CHRYSTAL - The Days (NOTION Remix): NOTION is an artist I've known for a while for some of their stuff on DEEPROT (amazing channel for bass house and likewise check it out). To see them make it on the charts is a big moment. The remix does take time to get going but when it does, my god, an amazing drop, coupled with banging production and a solid set of vocals does the trick. Great great song, I hope it sticks around. (9.5/10)
43: FISHER & AR/CO - Ocean: Despite considering FISHER's career dead since the shit disaster that was Somebody (2024), I am really not surprised this charted. I am very mixed on this one though. For starters, FISHER's production feels alright but the vocals sound kind of annoying. And what the fuck is "You got me ocean" supposed to mean? An okish piece of tech house music overall. (5/10)
45: fennecxx & DJ ALEX - Spooky: Every single day I think "Brazilian phonk" will fall off but it doesn't and another random song sticks around for a long time. This song is way too overblown, distorted annd in your face. No. (sidenote: DJ ALEX is fuckin 13 years old god damnit I feel old asf) (2/10)

i can't believe i never realized that US American Folk music heavily permeates the pop music that's popular today. Like just because US Americans don't have say, Rancheras or straight-up anything that they refer to as a folkloric genre of modern music, doesn't mean it's not there.
I tried listening to Chapell Roan and while I like her as a visual artist and performer and person, her music doesn't have what I look for (which is harmonic and melodic complexity and an interesting blend of timbres but that's beside the point). However, if you had blindfolded me and played her music, I would say "Wow this is sooo American Folk, clearly this artist derives from the classics of American Folk music." but I don't think her fans would hear it like that. I had a similar experience listening to Alanis Morrissette and even Avril Lavigne. AvrilLavignes's "Complicated" sounds so country I don't understand why I have never heard anyone point that out before. Yet both alanis Morissette and Avril Lavigne are recognized as explicitly rock stars.
I don't have a particular thesis here, maybe it's that rock being such a global music genre means that even American Folk music inevitably tendrils into other countries' popular music spheres (though I'm a fan of 60's mexican rock and 90s Mexican ska rock so maybe I shouldn't even complain). But I'm more struck by the absence of like, recognition. Do fans of Chapell Roan not hear her as a descendant American Folk? at all? Like that would be like someone hearing Peso Pluma and thinking he isn't either. Brazilian Phonk is gaining popularity as well and don't we all hear that as like. explicitly Brazilian. But do people hear American musicality someone like Alanis Morissette or sometimes Avril Lavigne or Chapell Roan?
The other thing I wanted to point out (that I can't believe i never noticed) is that the composition of these musicians IS explicitly American in maybe the same way a modern take on Mariachi or Bachatas or Cumbias or Reggaeton is. Those genres gain popularity because of their cultural relevance as dance music (and then you know, cumbia especially, became more popular and commercialized and became more compositionally simple). US American culture has less of this trend. Lots of American Folk music is heavily harmony and chord-progression based. It makes sense when you consider the primarily religious function of music from colonization and onwards. I always found it curious that most American Folk musicians were soloists, just them and the guitar, nothing like drum + charango + violin or something. YES I am aware of the bluegrass and old time bands, but those genres did not reach popularity as American Folk music in the same way like um. Joni Mitchell did. Yes I'm aware that Black Jazz bands and Black Church choirs constitute American Folk music, but historically those genres have been separate in such a way that they produced distinct musical descendants (and also the reason for which white rappers and jazz and RnB musicians either weren't a thing or just made music that was audibly different from the original).
Anyway what I'm saying here is that isn't it fucking crazy that like. Someone like Chapell Roan sounds like an American Folk musican, because she is, her music is composed and sung that way. But it's bizarrely not seen as an American cultural thing, its just "global" now. But she's so clearly a product of American Folk music! Like I can't imagine anyone doing that with like, Peso Pluma or like even Bad Bunny. Even Americans themselves dont see her as a continuation of their Folk music (at least i dont think so? idk i dont listen to that much American Folk music at all ever, so Im mostly basing this on online comments about her and how she is talked about in the news). Like it drives me a little crazy that white US americans DO have, in a way, folkloric cultural knowledge/tradition but like. dont see it that way.
Im not even going to touch on the global nature on rock music because tbh thats kind of a different can of worms since rock music is like. black (and west/north African) at its core.
(anyway send asks about any genre of music anywhere in the world i will probably know something about it)
