299792458 (2012)

299792458, more commonly known as the speed of light in meters per second, is the first release by Mariko Goto (後藤まりこ), the former front-woman of the popular Japanese jazz-punk band Midori (ミドリ). After the break that followed the band calling it quits in 2010, Goto began her solo career in 2011 with this as the result. More pop orientated than anything, 299792458 is an album that more shows Goto's experience with song writing and her vocal performance, which is absolutely stellar on this album. Definitely something to check out if you're a Midori fan, even if it isn't really your cup of tea.

Supercell (2009)


The first and only full-length from the Japanese 11-piece band to feature Miku as the vocalist. Probably one of the most successful albums to use the program, considering that most of the songs on the album are still popular today. The album also features some really great instrumental work on behalf of the more physical side of the band.
