Trainy Ride
Righ Ex
This is clearly not your regular indie rock band. They got the history, the skills and the spunk as if they have lasted for more than two decades. One of the few Japanese indie artists that has reached my lap. This is jaw-dropping Japanese indie rock. If I had a band right now, at this moment, I would want it to sound like this--definitely like this. It's in Japanese; I wouldn't want it translated. It's not every day that I appreciate Japanese music, more so Japanese indie rock. They were formed in 1996 and never switched or changed band members. The "Blue Train" has swept me off through the tracks. <RCA ARC CAR ACR CRA>
Jake: I initially got into Japanese music around early 2005, while YouTube was still in its infancy. With YouTube so vast and global these days, one might even overlook how artists were discovered prior! Well it's simple--the jpopsukitv stream on Winamp! I first heard the song "Loop & Loop" and was immediately hooked, then soon after, I found out they'd contributed to soundtracks of various anime, such as Fullmetal Alchemist and the Tatami Galaxy. These guys definitely have a knack for making alternative rock songs accessible, but with a true sense of poignancy. Too many gems to name... "Rewrite", "Travelog", "Kimi to iu Hana", "Blue Train", "After Dark"--yes, their recent stuff is just that good too. You will truly enjoy this band, regardless of which era you prefer
