With a large music industry such as Japan, the second largest in the world, music fans will inevitably be inundated with a profusion of good (and also less good) music from this country. It is impossible to keep track of all this and write a review about it for each video. But to avoid missing out on (obscure) gems, the decision has been made to create 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 48 of 2025. We sincerely hope you enjoy the new discoveries!<\/p>\n
Formed in 2021, Futenzoku are known for their live-oriented approach and improvisation, changing the structure and arrangements for each performance. The five-piece band is often compared to Japanese rock bands from the late 1960s and early 1970s and bases their sound on rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, folk, blues and prog rock. In early November, Futenzoku released two live albums simultaneously, entitled \u30ef\u30eb\u30c4 (Waltz<\/em>) and \u30bb\u30df (Semi<\/em>), something they had never done before.\u00a0\u2014 Recommended by\u00a0Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n
