Text of "Bandcamp Friday" and "Suggestions February 2023" on top of a radio, edited in a way that there was a glitch. The result is that there are more radio's in the image. With added filters it is made colourful with the added colours of red, blue and green and mixes of that.

Hoewel we het niet zeker wisten, dachten we dat het na afgelopen december voorbij was, maar Bandcamp Friday keert ook in 2023 terug. Vanaf deze maand is er weer elke eerste vrijdag van de maand een Bandcamp Friday (met uitzondering van juni en juli), waarbij Bandcamp afziet van hun inkomstenaandeel, wat betekent dat er meer geld overblijft voor de artiesten en labels.

En aangezien Bandcamp Friday eraan komt op 3 februari, wordt het tijd dat we een aantal Japanse artiesten en labels uitlichten in een artikel. Wil je weten wie we in het verleden hebben uitgelicht? Het zijn er aardig wat, klik dan zeker hier voor meer suggesties.

LADY FLASH

Vorige maand bracht de uit Osaka afkomstige indieband LADY FLASH hun tweede album uit どこにもいけないドア (Dokonimo ikenai Door, The Door to Nowhere), zeven jaar na hun eerste album. Er is al geconstateerd dat deze band kan worden omschreven als Kirby meets punk (denk maar aan alles absorberen om te gebruiken om zijn opponenten te doden, maar dan punk) wat misschien een beter idee geeft van wat ze te bieden hebben. De groep noemt zichzelf een plastic band waar Yasuyuki Okamura en de Pixies elkaar ontmoeten en lijkt te genieten van indiepop, postpunk en noise.

The Molice

The Molice, actief sinds 2007, is een alternatief post-hardcore/dance-core trio uit Tokyo. Het trio presenteert een hybride geluid door veel verschillende muziek-genres te integreren van elementen die vallen in muziekgenres als rock and roll, klassiek, dance, shoegaze, alternatief en post-hardcore. In 2018 verhuisden ze hun activiteiten naar de Verenigde Staten, maar door de pandemie zijn ze in Japan en hebben ze hard gewerkt aan het maken van nieuwe muziek. De meest recente releases van The Molice zijn compilaties van studiosessie- en prototype-opnames die in 2022 op YouTube werden gedeeld.

No Point in Living

De activiteiten van de in Sapporo gevestigde blackmetalband No Point in Living begonnen ergens in 2015 door multi-instrumentalist Yusuke Hasebe, die ook een tweede project heeft, Retreat Neurosis. Vanaf het begin maakt hij geheel solo muziek met depressieve en andere donkere teksten in het Japans en Engels. Op Bandcamp kun je alles vinden wat Hasebe ooit onder de twee namen heeft geproduceerd, wat neerkomt op meer dan 60 releases aangezien hij nooit lijkt te stoppen met het schrijven van nieuwe muziek. Hieronder valt ook zijn meest recente mini-album, Pray.

SOM4LI

In 2021 kwamen bandleden van Ms. Machine, Strip Joint en KLONNS samen om muziek te maken onder de naam SOM4LI. De vier muzikanten, Rio Shimamoto, Mako, Risako, en SHV, creëren alternatieve indierock met een harde energie die witch house, hardcore punk, en post-punk kruist door lineaire beats, luidruchtige gitaren, ongebruikelijk refreinwerk toe te voegen, balancerend op globale invloeden en openhartige Japanse liedteksten. Ze zijn niet vies van experimenteren. De band uit Tokyo heeft tot nu toe een single en een EP uitgebracht, de EP is te vinden op Bandcamp.

Gerpfast Records

Gerpfast Records is een onafhankelijk alternatief platenlabel gevestigd in Indonesië en heeft sinds 2014 behoorlijk wat interessante cassette releases uitgebracht van Japanse bands, denk aan COLLAPSE, Asunojokei, TsuShiMaMiRe, en GALLHAMMER, om er een paar te noemen. Ze hebben nog veel meer te bieden, vandaar dat we hun Bandcamp uitlichten. In maart brengen ze het nieuwste album van poppunkband PiGGiES, …And Now!, uit op cassette.


Het is goed om te weten dat op Bandcamp Fridays een gemiddelde van 93% van je geld bij de artiest of label terechtkomt (na kosten van de betalingsverwerker). Op andere dagen bereikt een gemiddelde van 82% de artiest of het label. De vraag is nu: wie ga jij steunen deze Bandcamp Friday?
