Toyohirakumin Teams Up With Eeyore: Respective Mood
To talk about vaporwave in 2015 is ridiculous, mostly for all the same reasons it was in 2013 with the added bonus of whatever scene sprung up around this late-capitalism-baiting sample music is treading water at this point. Yet I’ll admit to still having an interest in the stuff, in particular the stuff Japanese artists…
Well That Took Forever: Wednesday
I’m all for un-Googleable band names, from Women to Girls to Spoon. But boy, trying to find a band when they have a super general name and also happen to be in Japan…near impossible. Case in point: I’ve been trying to find Osaka trio Wednesday online ever since I saw their live set at the…
Controlled Karaoke: Norah Jones Meets Japanese TV

Neon Bright: PellyColo’s Temptation EP
Paying tribute or homage/just flat out biting the ’80s isn’t easy. The trademarks of that decade’s synth-driven pop – think gooey electronics, a lot of talkbox – can turn cheesy in the wrong hands, and there are some notable Japanese groups who shall not be named…jk, it’s Orland…whose music simply coasts on these elements without…
The Suzan Drop A Mixtape: 24 Hour Happy
Few Japanese bands ever manage to grab the Western media’s attention, so when one comes along and does just that they best milk it. Current attention-nabbers The Suzan signed to Fool’s Gold and released a pretty positively reviewed album, so now they try to prolong their stay in the spotlight a little longer by releasing…
