Superflat Japan

I got a big Art Catalog from Takashi Murakami for my Birthay.You might know him from the Louis Vuitton Commercial with Music From FPM.He calles his Art Superflat because it misses dimensional depth.The Coverart of "Stronger" by Megalomaniac Kanye West is also his Design.Murakami has his own Clothing Line called Kaikai Kiki Co.,wich also is a Marketing Company for his own Art.As you can see i like his Art very much.The 12 Songs are the Sound i hear when i watch his Art.Check it out and you will love it like i do.Rember what the allknowing Momus said:Art can you help have a better Day. So long Percy.

Portable Rock

Today's Post is a unknowen Treasure.I don't know anything about this Record except that the great Maki Noyima sings.QT+1 sounds a lot like British 80's Synth-pop Bands
as Lotus Eaters,China Crisis and the ever great Altred Images.I think it's a good Example for Cultural Exchange.When Japan opens to the rest of the World in the late 70's,early 80's there was huge fascination for Japan in Europe.The Bristish New Wave/Post-Punk Movement relates a lot to Japan.Japan as always sucks in subcultur from foreign Strands and transforms it into something own and unique.It reminds me of my Teen years when everything was new and was i.So take a hike into the not so bad 1980's.

Swing Slow

I got this Album Years ago as a Gift from my Brother.It stayed with me ever since.Swing Slow is one of the many disguises of Harry Hosono jr.of YMO Fame.This Time he teames up with Miharu Koshi.Koshi is a Singer that worked with Hosono & R.Sakamoto several times and released a bunch of Solo Albums.The self titled Record sounds like a Postcard of the good old Time that never been.Most of the Songs have a fifties-country feeling with Pedal-steel & Jodeling.Listen to "I'm Leaving it up to you" or "Good Morning Mr. Echo" and fall in Love.The usual Hosono Hawaiin touch sounds in too.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Record.Hope you enjoy it too.If so or not leave a comment.

Flipper's Guitar

By the time Keigo Oyamada became a worldwide phenomenon as Cornelius, he had already conquered Shibuya and the rest of Japan as half of pop duo Flipper's Guitar. Along with bandmate Kenji Ozawa (nephew of composer Seiji Ozawa), Oyamada hacked through the de facto rules for pumping out pop music, creating sweet confections referencing Brian Wilson, bossa nova, British guitar pop, Burt Bacharach, psychedelic music, and anything that was continental and suave. The five member band, founded in 1988 while its two leaders were still in high school, was originally called Lollypop Sonic, and pledged allegiance to British neo-acoustic bands like The Pastels (although the cut "Goodbye, our Pastels Badges" from Flipper's first album would preface a change in their sound). The band's name changed to Flipper's Guitar around the time of the release of their first album on Polydor, Three Cheers for Our Side, in 1989. Although the album was a commercial flop, the band was creating a minor buzz, and had songs featured in a movie and television drama. Shortly after the release of their first album, the band had been whittled down to a duo of Oyamada and Ozawa, and a powerful new songwriting and marketing force was emerging. Polydor released Camera Talk in 1990, featuring the pared-down lineup and all Japanese lyrics. The album would go on to be their biggest seller, featuring lush arrangements and a further sharpened pop sensibility, with nods to bossa, jazz, house, and British guitar rock. Flipper's kept up the pace after the release of Camera Talk, dropping a series of successful singles, a magazine column in Takarajima, a radio show called Martians Go Home, and plenty of cute photo shoots. With news of their imminent breakup already circulating, the band dropped Dr. Head's World Tower in 1991. Referencing the Monkees disastrous film excursion into psychedelia, Head, the record was a tripped-out free-for-all that showed Oyamada and Ozawa experimenting even more daringly and successfully, and hinted at what was to come for Oyamada as Cornelius.(Nippop)
