A great compilation detailing the current electrohouse scene in Japan. Includes works by Yasutaka Nakata, Terukado, Ram Rider and many more. For people who need an introduction or for those who are already quite familiar with the scene. Cute, sexy, upbeat. I would usually be more detailed about an album like this, but either you like this kind of music or not. The only thing wrong about this album is that there's no Perfume!

とろ美 (Toromi) – トロヅクシ (Torozukushi)

[Download]

Romaji Tracklist:
1. etc... rabu
2. Shizuru
3. Tasshu de Atsukeepu
4. Comirukarafu
5. Baby Star Hunter
6. Modorunkioku
7. Toromajutsu
8. DNA Shiikuensu
9. Waaningu

Remember when you were a child and you were filled with anger when you heard that the latest episode of Pokemon would not be showed overseas because when Polygon appeared on the screen and started flashing, it caused thousands of children to have seizures? Well, don't feel so down, because I would imagine that Toromi's music is the audio equivalent of that (actually, I even have a friend who literally had a seizure while watching one of Toromi's videos, I don't think there was any actual evidence that supported the correlation of the two things together, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the real reason behind it). Toromi's music is extremely cute, and as one blog describes it, 'unethically so.' While the world of high pitched denpa artists may turn most people off, there is an alarming sense of melody and tight production lying behind said vocals. The albums of Toromi draw an extremely thin line between something of childlike innocence and something disturbing beyond comprehension. Don't die.

アーバンギャルド (Urbangarde)- 少女都市計画

Friday, January 22, 2010 at 8:30 PM Posted by FEMALE TROUBLE 2 Comments



Self-proclaimed 'Tokyo Virginity Pop' group, Urbangarde, lies somewhere between the somewhat sexual exuberance of denpa heroes, Under17, and the experimental-pop leanings of Yapoos. A hyperactive blend of non-stop synths, drum-machines, and somewhat monotonous duel male/female vocals preaching the message of keeping your virginity, the mental disease of otakusim and other social phenomenons within Japan, Urbangarde's music is almost specifically, and ironically, made for the kind of people that they seem to be speaking out against. Nevertheless, this is a very interesting record, too experimental to be pop, but too pop to be completely experimental. Highly recommended.



This record and other items can be purchased directly from their site through PayPal: http://www.urbangarde.net/english.htm

久保田早紀 [Kubota Saki]: Best Collection

Saki Kubota is a Japanese pop-idol. I think. Her music transcends that of most idol-pop, entering territories that are almost unnerving and haunting in someways, yet still retains what one would typically expect from 80's idol-pop. There is little information on her, but surprisingly enough, Juntaro from the Gerogerigegege is very fond of her music, going as far as to say that among his top 10 favorite albums, Saki Kubota's discography is #1. I felt that when listenining to some of Kubota's work, I felt a great sense of unbeknowing and dread, similar to that of Gerogerigegege compositions such as "Endless Humiliation." Perhaps Juntaro's love for this women isn't so surprising after all.
