FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’16 Performing Artists (31–40)

ParadeLUCKY TAPES

LUCKY TAPES – Parade (Official Music Video)
Parade LUCKY TAPES

A four-piece young Japanese band that’s currently in the spotlight, whose debut album released last August became an unusually big hit for newcomers.

While there are four members, on this track they bring in trumpet, trombone, saxophone, and violin to create a richer harmony.

Their live show seems likely to offer a stylish, grown-up moment.

FLY AGAINMAN WITH A MISSION

FLY AGAINMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION, a wildly popular band of mysterious wolves, never fails to impress with their insanely cool, ultra-groovy mix of sounds.

And when you think of MAN WITH A MISSION, this is the song that comes to mind.

Let’s all raise both arms and sing along at Fuji Rock!

Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force, led by dance music veteran Mark Ernestus.

The pioneer who helped shape dub now presents new tracks that showcase cutting-edge dub music.

Nothing beats enjoying dance music out in nature with a drink in hand.

Lovesick FuckMura Masa

Mura Masa is a UK-born artist, born in 1996.

He discovered electronic music at 15, and when he uploaded tracks he made himself to SoundCloud, they quickly caught the attention of major labels—proof of his exceptional talent.

I’m excited to hear the music he’s creating at just 20 years old.

When you think of the Chili Peppers, they’re a legendary band that continues to influence countless artists even today.

And they’re coming back to Fuji Rock for the first time in 10 years.

This song is a classic that’s packed with everything great about the Chili Peppers.

I can’t wait for the crowd sing-along in the intro.

This year marks the 20th Fuji Rock.

Appearing as if to celebrate this milestone, the Chili Peppers’ set is absolutely unmissable.

SOPHIE is the solo project of Samuel Long, a male producer on the music label PC Music, which is at the forefront of promoting a new genre called bubblegum bass.

This track perfectly fits the name “bubblegum bass,” evoking a poppy, colorful, candy-like feel.

It’s an extremely cute yet danceable song.
