I've been hooked on this electronic music by Deco*27 lately.

I only like these 4 out of his songs, his other songs are meh. I'm also not keen on vocaloids in general even though the last 2 are vocaloids. Google hasn't been very useful as to what genre of music it is, giving useless tags such as electro and jpop. Anyone got any idea if there is any similar kinds of music or what it gets it's inspiration from? It can be in any language (or vocaloid).

Thanks for reading. If you aren't a bot change the b to an a in the link below.

Ya, the problem with this method is that I only like a really small subset of what he made. He specialises in making vocaloid music, so they recommend similar (vocaloid) songs, but I tend to not like vocaloid. It's kinda like he's mediocre mostly, but for just those 4 songs he put on his godly pants. But thanks for trying to help :D

As someone learning Japanese... thanks for these.

The ones I link are more like anime OP songs, but whatever (these were released as singles as well, so...)

I'm not good at finding "similar" songs, but try this (very long intro; might want to skip to ~1:30 or 2:00).

Also this

Thanks! Have fun and good luck with the Japanese studying, if learning Chinese was anything to go by, it could turn out quite challenging.

Definitely sounds like pop post-punk/punk to me, but with frequent changes in melody and rhythm that I also hear in a lot of Japanese music. I tried to find things that were really similar, but I utterly failed.

Actually, you could skim through: https://www.reddit.com/r/PostPopPunk/. There's quite a bit there that's vaguely similar.

Sounds like pretty standard J-rock to me.

After searching a bit more, I think you might like the band Scandal
