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 39 of the year 2022. Enjoy the new discoveries! We took a short break due to a lengthy migration, but we are back with an updated URL! Don’t forget to update your bookmarks. <\/p>\n
We have covered Tokyo-based singer and guitarist RIS before, it was also a while back that she came up with new music. Even though Lonely Disco<\/em> has been out for a while, the music video is still icing on the cake. Like her previous releases, the music is immersed in what is recognisably the ’80s, the big inspiration for RIS – from glam rock to punk and from new wave to electronic music – which is also clearly incorporated in the animated video including familiar locations and musicians. \u2014 Recommended by Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n
