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<p>We are now looking back on a selection of videos released in week 6 of 2024. We sincerely hope you enjoy the new discoveries!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Hollow Suns &#8211; Free Fall<\/h3>\n<p>This week, the band Hollow Suns released the EP <em>Free Fall<\/em>, which is following up on their album <em>Otherside<\/em> in 2022. The band&#8217;s sound goes in the direction of guitar-driven alternative rock with post-hardcore elements. The Tokyo-based band started with activities ten years ago and started to self-release music while further developing their style, since a few years they released music via the labels Ice Grill$ and Sunday Drive Records. In addition to touring in Japan, the band has been touring in Canada and the United States.\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=\"Hollow Suns - Free Fall [OFFICIAL VIDEO]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mdd0LfP8eg8?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>\u9244\u706b (TEKKA) &#8211; \u3086\u3046\u308c\u3044 (Yuurei)<\/h3>\n<p>At the beginning of this year, on the 10th of January, the four musicians behind TEKKA introduced themselves to the world via social media with a band photo, marking the formation of this rock band. On the same day, TEKKA started with the release of their first single of their project where they released new music for three consecutive months. It is February, which means that they have just released their second single. Looking ahead, this four-piece rock band is gearing up for their first live performance, which is also immediately their very first solo show, slated for March.\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=\"\u9244\u706b - \u3086\u3046\u308c\u3044 (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OawqoHqTxkA?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>\u6bce\u6669\u63fa\u308c\u3066\u30b9\u30ab\u30fc\u30c8 (Maiban Yurete Skirt) &#8211; \u307c\u304f\u305f\u3061\u306f\u7121\u50b7\u3060 (We Are Unharmed)<\/h3>\n<p>While attempting to pin down a suitable description for this band called Maiban Yurete Skirt (or Skirt swaying every night), it appears they&#8217;ve settled on the label of &#8220;new romantic hip-hop&#8221;, but expect the addition of pop, rock and alternative elements. Quite intriguing. Having formed in the summer of 2020, the real activities started in 2021, especially with their first release that got sold out fast, over the past year the band has been prolific in releasing singles. In March, they will release a mini-album.

Fast forward to this year, when they suddenly announced the release of a new single. It has been three years that there has been some activity surrounding the visual kei act IX -NINE-. The band&#8217;s newest single is a special release to celebrate the band&#8217;s ninth anniversary (and a nod towards the band&#8217;s name) weaving together elements from black metal to post-rock, visual kei and Japanese elements.\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=\"IX -NINE-\uff5c\u7a7a\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-eopLeukARg?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>\u30b6\u30fb\u30b7\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30ba\u30cf\u30a4 (The Sisters High) &#8211; e\u3093\u30d1\u3059\u30fbi\u3093\u30fbtHe\u30fb\u30eb\u30fc\u3080 (Empath in the room)<\/h3>\n<p>A spotlight has previously been placed on the work of The Sisters High, a four-piece neo-punk rock band from Niigata active since spring 2020, in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Not an entirely easy period to get started as a brand-new band, but The Sisters High have managed to make considerable strides with their music releases with a rock sound that is as roaring as it is eccentric. Last November, the band released a new single with two tracks, titled \u5f31\u96fb\u8133Magica\u308b (<em>Weak cyber magical<\/em>), for which a music video was produced for both songs.\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=\"\u30b6\u30fb\u30b7\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u30ba\u30cf\u30a4\u3010e\u3093\u30d1\u3059\u30fbi\u3093\u30fbtHe\u30fb\u30eb\u30fc\u3080\u3011 (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M0Ob9MAAEDY?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>Under Earth &#8211; Twilight<\/h3>\n<p>In December, the alternative rock band Under Earth (stylised as under Earth) unveiled their first mini-album, titled \u30ec\u30f3\u30ba (<em>Lens<\/em>), serving as a follow-up to their single \u697d\u5712 (<em>Rakuen<\/em>), released in September last year, which was their first music in about two years.
