miyakoji Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Not really sure what this is, looks like "music" for rail maniacs. Maniacs. http://www.superbellz.com/p02discography/ Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The band is called Super Bell Z, their top hit was a song called Motorman. ^_^ Link to comment

Kabutoni Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Ah, you mean "Super Bell'z". Yeah, they do electro songs about railway lines and trains in Japan. The MOTOR MAN Series was about the thoughts and commands of the train driver of a particular line. The first release was called MOTER MAN, incorrectly spelled, but in later releases they changed it to MOTO(e)R MAN to mock their own mistake. Their latest releases are however correctly spelled. They don't only do music, but are also quite often seen at railway and model train related venues. So, that makes 'em quite a phenomenon in Japan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bell%22Z Shashinka posted one of their most popular songs: Keihin Kyûkô VVVF, about the competition with JR East's Tôkkaidô Main-line and the special 120km/h section between Yokohama and Shinagawa station. (I was about to post that :P ) P.s. Yes, they also did the music for the anime Tetsuko no Tabi (鉄子の旅), of which, by the way, where can I find that online? I've been looking all over and can't find it at all. There used to be episodes of it everywhere, but they all are lost now (or I'm not looking in the right places) Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The second link, which I can no longer sadly find on YouTube was the opening for an anime called Testudo no Tabi, done by Superbell Z. I love this series, sadly it was never released in the US, nor have I found any fan subs of it. I take that back, I found the first episode on a torrent a few years ago. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thx. For the love of trains I could not find it when I did a search on YT. Tried in both English and Japanese. Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thx. For the love of trains I could not find it when I did a search on YT. Tried in both English and Japanese. I just searched for: "鉄子の旅 OP". Just a standard trick if you want to find an intro/opening to a series "[Title]+OP". Most of the time, you find what you're looking for (as long as it's online).

Guest ___ Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Didn't work for me. I tried Tetsudo no Tabi OP and ED as well, with only one result, not what I Was looking for but rather a commercial. I had also tried in it kanji with it's proper title. As for the episodes go, I may have to just download the RAR and fan sub them myself. Link to comment
miyakoji Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks guys, this way more than I wanted to know. Link to comment
yakumo381 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 SUPER BELL”Z 野月貴弘! At last some else has heard of them outside of Japan. Loaded up on my IPOD along with recordings of JR trains and Station jingles: Kohsoku Kidoh Minatomi Line (Mirai Tetsudoh Yokokaze No Theme) Tokyu Tohyoko Minamida Ga Ippai -Haikei!! Tetsudoujin Theme Song Air Train 2 No Theme Complex-Compressor Kidou Keizi Tsukuban Motor Man Akita Shinkansen Komachi Motor Man Rikuu East Line - Oku No Hosomichi Yukemuri Line Motor Man Yamagata Shinkansen Tsubasa Motor Man Rifu Branch Line Motor Man Osaka Kanjou Line Re-Line East (Osaka - Tennouzi) Motor Man Nagoya Futsuu Inuyama Yuki Motor Man Enoden Motor Man Keihinkyuukou VVVF Motor Man Nanbushisen Motor Man Yamanote Go . Go! Motor Man Yamanote Line Loop Complete! SaikyouType Motor Man (Akihabara - Minamiurawa) ...to name a few. Best to me is "Air Train 2 No Theme Complex-Compressor" - listen to it on ITUNES as they make music out of train sounds acapella style or "Motor Man Keihinkyuukou VVVF" which uses the relay sounds which you will recognise if you have ever stood next to the control electronics on a KiHa. Yes - very sad, get a life, etc. but to me just the thing to cheer me up slogging my way to work in a jam on a cold wet winter english morning Link to comment

IMO it's cool if you enjoy this kind of complex music. I listen to Eurobeat and the like quite often, try to analyse it and your head will explode into candy. Link to comment
Guest ___ Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I love Eurobeat. Part of the reason I like J-pop is the complexity of the music. Glad to see I'm not alone with the SBZ Link to comment
