Ah this is an interesting point. I think Qoboz are active in expanding their libraries and they do take requests on site. Do you have any JP recommendations - its not a region I've ever really listened to?

Japanese are difficult to deal with.
It sure was a process to get them to release on Spotify. Before that they tended to stay on Apple Music.

Examples of artists I liked:
Tokyo Health Club - J-Rap but a bit more lo-fi
-> One of my favs: https://youtu.be/GSRfeUHZZN8
-> Honorable mention: https://youtu.be/ErLSUsqERm8

  • Crazy Beats (Touhou - Eurobeat Remixes)
    -> Just open any of their songs and listen ;)
  • Akatsuki Records (Tohou Remix - All kinds of genre)
    -> Same here
  • Hololive (A group of vTubers that also release music of all kinds of genre)
    -> https://youtu.be/twUFbqyul_M
    -> https://youtu.be/WGgEFoI9MhE
  • Ado (Also very diverse voice and genre selection. But usually more towards pop and pop-rock-like releases)

Thank you! I'm going to have a listen through these this week - you may have just broadened my horizons!
