i can't believe finally i found a great channel talking about obscure japanese music oh my god I'LL RECOMMEND U TO ANYONE.

ive been listening the self titled before your video came to my home page. great video and excited for the words of Funaki. praying for the orange lounge comeback greetings from argentina

Orange Glider! I am a new fan! Have you covered the band "Yes, mama OK?" Or Roboshop Mania? I've loved them for a long time now and No one knows them.

A great band. I bought a ton of their albums through discogs but man is it expensive. When I managed to go to tower records in Japan, I only found Domino and purchased it immediately. Luckily I have all the roundtable/nino albums already so not disappointed when I didn't find more albums at tower records. I'd personally like to see more big wave come from Roundtable with Nino included of course. Big wave sunset was amazin and so were songs from Big wave 2000! (really loved some of the covers they did)

Not exactly Orange Lounge but (IIRC) still Tomosuke but Chocolate Philosophy is a real banger and wish it were in more Bemani games.

one of the best japanese band I still like listening to their old CD albums, kinda underrated band~ they also used to inspire my music compositions so much, with my band "Ozone Inc" long time ago..:") - from Indonesia -

thanks for posting because of your videos ive began to find out about alot of new Shibuya-Kei bands been digging into Japanese music for the past 3 or 4 years now finding new music is one of the best feelings

I keep finding this album everywhere. I go I think it’s a sign.

Kinda sad knowing that they didn't achieve a big commercial success and they eventually made it on their own respective solo project after they breakup. I'm a big fan of Cymbals, now I tried to collecting all of their physical release mostly on CD format and keeping the legacy so they will never be forgotten

yo, i just came here from that video.

please gatekeep this

Thank you for your video!

I love the internet digging up undiscoverd gems decades later, like duster

my favorite song is "kaze ni azukete" 😁

Your channel is very nice. I hope you continue to make videos like this.

whats the outro from?

I'm a moth for life

This may be a controversial take, but as much as I love & respect Mariya Takeuchi, I wouldn't actually classify the majority of her discography as "City pop". Aside from Plastic Love and a few other iconic tracks, I'd say most of her music just falls under the category of standard Japanese adult-contemporary music. And that's perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just not the same as city pop.

Cymbals ❤

Pucca's openning was written by Hal Beckett not PSB. But early riser was the main inspiration for it

I found their music via Spotify Thank you for the vid on them!

lol I watched two of your videos about Round Table and Pizzicato 5 and I wondered why were you talking about the bands I like. So I decided to find some info about The Cymbals because I was curious about what happened with them, and there you again, lol. Hope you will make a video about Rocky Chack.

Advantage Lucy are legendary. I got into them about 10 years ago and never turned back

I find them pretty mediocre to be honest, there is so much better music coming from Japan, but I guess the youtube algorithm made its job and westerners wanting Japanese bands to sound 100% like they are Western bands too instead of enjoying the unique sounds of Japanese music did the rest

Loving all your videos! Who knew the history of Shibuya-kei was so interesting. Have you thought of creating a discord server for people to gather and share information? Could be cool. Personally, I have a lot of unanswered questions about a bunch of artists and it might be helpful to have a place where an active community can gather to share and talk Shibuya-kei.❤️

"Sweet Soul Revue" by Pizzicato Five was such a big hit in the Philippines back then, all thanks to the _Ranma 1/2_ and surprisingly, that song still hits the radio to this day (alongside with Go Go Dancer). For me (as someone who is a sucker to bossa nova and jazz music), Pizzicato Five is the reason why I got introduced to Shibuya Kei/Picopop genre and got me searching deeper into their discography.

Can you talk about FPM and Towa tei?

Shibuya kei and tomosuke/orange lounge is a major contribution to my love for popnmusic! Popnmusic has so many shibuya-kei songs from other artists!

Good video

Good music 😊

I’m a huge shibuya-kei fan and I’m so glad to see it being talked about more. It’s such a beautiful underrated genre. I recommend one shibuya-kei band called Pictogram Color, as they are extremely underrated and I love their self-titled album. However, there’s barely any info on them online. I hope your channel continues to grow!

where is she???

I got a Tart & Toffee design for my second tattoo 🙏🏻

youtube recommendation finally give me something good. thx for the great video

underrated band in an underrated video by an underrated channel

Doctor Head's World Tower is my most played album outside any streaming service, and i dont think they will be there any time soon considering that amount of sampling

Not particularly shibuya-kei but can you make a video on Cibo Matto? They are my gateway on japanese indie music and also one of my favorites. Great video as always anyway!

Thank you for a great video! I recently discovered the artist LLLL and their track Only to Silence is a masterpiece. Would love to see a mini-documentary on them one day. <3

i love psb so much ^_^

Great video, its nice to see people more interested in classic Konami artists. Sadly Konami nowadays is very strict with their musicians and they are no longer allowed to release their own albums so we will never see a sequel to TOMOSUKE's marble or Asaki's 3rd album.

Long live and prosper, Moth community and our beloved Lamp

I was also drawn by the thumbnail and then fell in love straight away from the first song

this band need more attention. love them

ive been searching for this! thank you!! i hope someday in the future their lovely song making a comeback, or getting an hype revival back just like 90 japanese city pop in 2020s

5:33 Same

3:53 peak indeed
