With a large music industry such as Japan has, the second largest in the world, it is inevitable that music fans will be inundated with a profusion of good (and also less good) music from this country. It is impossible to keep track of this and write a review about it per video. But to avoid missing out on gems, it is time for a weekly list of new music videos from lesser-known Japanese musical acts that are definitely worth watching.<\/p>\n
We are now looking back on a couple of videos that were released in week 47 of the year 2021. Enjoy the new discoveries!<\/p>\n
After releasing and selling out the first demo, the four-piece Kagi wo Kaese aka Return the Key thought it was time to put out their first EP, titled \u8a55\u8ad6\u5bb6 (Hyoron-ka<\/em>). The young pop band is currently active in Hiroshima prefecture but they are already reaching audiences beyond that, even outside Japan. A band to keep an eye on.\u00a0\u2014 Recommended by\u00a0Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HWCaSnnCbBc<\/p>\n The five-piece hybrid rock band SLOTHREAT got formed in the spring of 2019 and is centred around guitarist Katsuya, who was previously active in the band CodeRebirth. They are currently part of the label Wolves anchor DC, where ex-girugamesh \u042fyo Trackmaker is the label head. Last year they put out their first album, titled THEMIS<\/em> and now they have a brand-new single, Asymmetrical Harmony<\/em>.\u00a0\u2014 Recommended by\u00a0Francisca<\/a><\/p>\nSLOTHREAT – Rebels<\/h3>\n
