So apparently they are quite popular. My friend kept asking me to try their songs, but he don't know much on music, i.e. he doesn't know how to explain this band. Just wondering if any of you know how they are like and what kind of songs they make, without any of those professional reviews online. Just your personal comments.

Ketsumeishi is one of my favorite Japanese groups!!! Their music is mainly hip-hop/reggae (but their mixture of hip-hop and reggae is far different from a group like Def Tech that mixes the same genres too). The group consists of two rappers, one vocalist, and a DJ. So far, they have four albums, and they are all very good. Their most popular song to date would have to be "Sakura". :)

I was introduced to Sakura too. According to my friend, they were the among the top best selling albums for an entire year. I personally does not like American rap, hip-hop and mainstream pop, so I may have to pass on this (after I try Sakura at least). Thanks for your input though, helpful info.

Haha.. yeah... if you don't really like rap or some hip-hip style of music... I don't think Ketsumeishi will be good for you...

If you want I can share some of their song here... :)

They are not bad actually and I find myself quite enjoying their song :lol:

Sakura

Namida

This 2 is my favourite song from them... Do give them a try and see whether you like them... :)

"Sakura" is one of my favorite songs too!! My other all-time FAVORITE Ketsume songs would "Tomodachi" and "Kachoufuugetsu". Check them out, Scarletdeath before you make a final decision if you want to listen to more Ketsumeishi or not. :D :)

Hey, I love this groups too! I dun usually listen to Rap songs much, but there's something different about them which make me can't seem to stop listening to their songs..

You must give them a try Scarletdeath! ;)

So, I tried Sakura.

That track alone, has earned my respects for them. Their work is not exactly like the usual crap like American rap. Ketsu's are more melodious than the American counterpart, and can be said as not entirely rap, which is great.

I absolutely cannot stand American rap, and I have to admit Ketsu is incredible. Their rough voice alone makes their songs sound hardcore, which is also my type of vocals. That, plus a mix of guitar in some tracks, and and the semi slow music won me over.

After listening to the tracks from Zin and BC, I went on ahead to download their discography. I can understand why you three said what you said. I'm glad I had you to convince me to try it.

Great to hear that you gave Ketsumeishi a chance, Scarletdeath. I knew you wouldn't regret it!! :)

"Sakura" is a great song; probably their best so far (and definitely their most popular)!!

yeah 'sakura' is the best...ive tried downloading some other songs but i dun really like em...imo, they sounded a bit like chemistry
