Kegon (Huayan)FULLARMOR
A four-piece rock band featuring members from Straightener, LITE, and Nothing’s Carved In Stone.
The sentimental electric piano theme set to a mid-tempo groove is striking, with triplet-driven guitar and bass creating a sense of urgency.
The promotional video feels like an adventure film, with “hands” used as the backdrop, and it’s interesting how the scenes they face change in sync with the song’s development.
KFukai Nana
Music lovers will be thrilled by their sound, which evokes ’90s alternative rock and shoegaze bands.
This is a band called Fukai Nana, active in Tokyo’s indie scene.
Highly recommended if you like My Bloody Valentine or Sonic Youth!
The Beach of the Chipped ButtonHUSKING BEE
They originally belonged to PIZZA OF DEATH, the label run by Ken Yokoyama of Hi-STANDARD, performing mainly English-language songs and often being discussed in the context of melodic hardcore.
However, their sound gradually evolved, and they went on to establish a position that could be called pioneering among Japanese emo bands.
With melancholic melodies that tug at your heart and lyrics in Japanese packed with meaning, they’ve been a band that has gripped listeners and never let go since those early days.
Until it disappearsHana Hope
Hana Hope is a new-generation singer drawing attention for her emotional vocals.
She created “Kieru made” as the opening theme for the anime The Kingdoms of Ruin.
The song begins with a lo-fi hip-hop sound centered on piano and builds to a powerful climax in the chorus, effectively conveying the grandeur of the world it depicts.
Matching that, her breathtaking vocal control—rising and falling in pitch—is another major highlight.
CakesHomecomings
Homecomings is a band formed in Kyoto while the members were still in college.
They have songs with Japanese lyrics and songs with English lyrics; some tracks feature distorted guitars, while others have a round, gentle sound.
They offer a variety of expressions, but what their songs share is a laid-back atmosphere and a nostalgic feel.
I’m sure a big part of it comes from vocalist Ayaka Tatono’s distinctively gentle delivery—this sensation is their identity and greatest charm.
They’re a band I recommend when you want music that softly wraps around your ears.
