The JAM project is a anime music genre group based in Japan, The “JAM” stands from “Japan Animationsong Makers”. Founded on July 19, 2000 by a famous 1970 song artist Ichirou Mizuki. The Group composed of many talented vocal artist througout various genres; aside from anime and video game themes. Each member is famous for his or her own solo performances of Japanese theme songs.

I recently got into listening to this group after listening to one of their song “Skill”. This group is really amazing, as a person who listens to alot of anime music and such, i feel bad that i didnt even know about this group until recently. They are a great group with great talent in doing their job. The music they create is so amazing. Its almost unexplainable in words, you are going to have to listen to them in order to understand how great they are.

They worked on quite a few anime theme songs, but they are mostly famous for working with the theme songs for the Super Robot Taisen Anime and Game series. Other anime that used their songs consist of Yugioh GX, Crush Gear Nitro, Keroro Gunso, and more others.

If you guys have the chance i totally suggest you guys listen to their songs, will not be a disappointment.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Gensou

Conductor: Philip Chu

Pianist: Seiji Honda

Violinist: Hiroaki Yura

Number of Tracks: 15

Producer: Lantis

When i first layed my eyes on this, i knew this was going to be good… why? because Nagato Yuki is on the cover. I’ve always liked the OST from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and their character albums. Usually their songs consists of pop and rock, but this time they went and tried out something different, Classical.

Before the release of this album, they had an actual concert on April 29th performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic.

The adaptation is really good! Some of the tracks remind me of Joe Hisaishi’s work in Totoro/Princess mononoke, others sound like it could’ve come out of some classic Disney movie. Well, the instrumental tracks, at least. Several tracks have Hirano Aya and Chihara Minori singing with the orchestra.

This is a great new tune for those of you who are Haruhi fans.
