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 Japanese music acts that are definitely worth watching and need some extra focus, with an emphasis on the lesser-known names.<\/p>\n
We are now looking back on a selection of videos released in week 41 of 2024. We sincerely hope you enjoy the new discoveries!<\/p>\n
Over the past five years, muui, a project based in Nagoya, has evolved through various musical transformations. What began as a full-fledged band evolved through various stages into a trio, then a duo, and finally into Tsujioka’s solo project. The singer-songwriter wrote in a blog post about the song sea glass<\/em> that the lyrics come from a poem written by a friend of hers after hearing muui’s music who said that it was like water-coloured sea glass. The song can be found on muui’s second single, titled \u6c34\u969b (Mizugiwa<\/em>), released in the middle of August just before the summer ends, which features only songs accompanied by mainly acoustic guitar.\u00a0\u2014 Recommended by\u00a0Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n
