This week they published their debut music video, giving us a taste of what we can expect from them in sound and style. On the fourth of January 2024, they will have their first performance at Kobe Varit. For now they have no music releases planned, but follow the band on social media to stay in the loop.\u00a0\u2014 Recommended by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MADE IN SHEEP - \u4e59\u540d\u5e1d\u570b\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nixnjuBVBqM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Summer Eye &#8211; \u6e7e\u5cb8 (Wangan) \uff08Route 357\uff09<\/h3>\n<p>Summer Eye is a DIY music project of Tomoyuki Natsume, formerly active in the alternative rock band Siamese Cats. After that band disbanded in 2020, Natsume decided to go solo under the name Summer Eye in 2021. Renowned for his eclectic taste, Natsume masterfully blends music genres using vintage electronic instruments. In the spring of 2023, he released his first full-length album with his project, titled \u5927\u5409 (<em>Good Luck<\/em>). Beyond the musical realm, Natsume enriches the cultural landscape through his diverse pursuits, from collage production, songwriting, film music, DJing, writing and other art forms.\u00a0\u2014 Recommended by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Summer Eye - \u6e7e\u5cb8(Route 357)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dAM-UF9e9pk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>\u30da\u30c3\u30c6\u30eb\u30ba (Pettels) &#8211; scream<\/h3>\n<p>With activities started this past summer, August 2023 to be precise, this Tokyo-based rock band is really brand spanking new. The band name Pettels is inspired by the three band members&#8217; favourite chameleon (Is that perhaps the Furcifer petteri?) which is also fitting for the attitude in embracing various musical styles and adaptations and has followed the slogan &#8216;a colourful rock band that sings about people&#8217;. Despite having only just started their activities, the three-piece formation has already released a handful of singles, of which <em>scream<\/em> is most likely going to be the closing single of the year 2023 for this band.

Takano has performed as a vocalist and guitarist in a multitude of bands, to name a few: nil, THE JUNEJULUAUGUST, ZIGZO, THE BLACK COMET CLUB BAND, DISCO VOLANTE, and a certain visual kei band that has put quite a mark on the scene. The latter is not mentioned much these days, perhaps the musician may not want to be reminded of it as he is now walking his own path in his own way, at his own speed as a free musician and many years and projects followed. And that is respectable. With two new music videos this week and a new video in a few days, we will now see on screen what the musician had in mind when he created this album. \u2014 Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u9ad8\u91ce \u54f2  Tetsu Takano - all songs from Thunder Road  -  Euphoria -\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zdqDEuuEPYw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>USAGIEZ &#8211; SAYONARA bye bye<\/h3>\n<p>USAGIEZ is a music duo consisting of singer-songwriters Marie Ueda and Ryoko Elizabeth Yamada.
