Na Casa de Bambu 42

 

Uma hora de alguma new wave, muito pós-punk e uma dose bem saudável de rock progressivo. Destacamos a fortíssima abertura pelos veteranos do prog Negasphere e as duas bizarras faixas retiradas da compilação Infecund Infection, da também bizarra Pinakotheca Records.

An hour of new wave, plenty of post-punk, and a healthy dose of progressive rock. Highlights would include a powerful opening track by prog masters Negasphere, and the two bizarre tracks taken from the Infecund Infection compilation, released by the equally bizarre Pinakotheca Records.

Para além dos inevitáveis YMO, em esforços próprios e produções Techno Kayō para Chiemi Manabe ou Kaori Nakahara; temos também o punk ultra infantil dos Kidorikko e a magia synth do segundo disco de Logic System, projeto de Hideki Matsutake. 

We prepared a small selection of techno-pop, what synth-pop is usually called in Japan. Besides the inevitable YMO (in their solo efforts and Techno Kayō productions for Chiemi Manabe or Kaori Nakahara), we also have the ultra-childish punk of Kidorikko and the synth magic of Logic System (Hideki Matsutake)'s second album's project.

Na Casa de Bambu 40

 


Nesta sessão passámos uma seleção de pop alternativa, com alguns dos meus temas favoritos de gente como os Oshare Tv, os Date of Birth e a heroína da casa Mishio Ogawa. Destaque para a abertura por Yasuaki "Mariah" Shimizu, e os dois temas de The Paloma Show, um belo disco do dúo Salon Music. Pelo meio, um adeus a Yotaro Ito, mentor dos Metrofarce.

We played a selection of alternative pop, featuring some of my favourite tracks by acts like Oshare Tv, Date of Birth, and "friend of the show" Mishio Ogawa. Special mention to the opening track by Yasuaki Shimizu, as well as the two songs we picked from The Paloma Show, a beautiful record by the duo Salom Music.

Na Casa de Bambu 39

 



Esta semana temos seleção de City Pop bem disposta e synth pop temperamental. Destacamos bons exemplos de programações de Hideki Matsutake, um nome essencial na pop japonesa, que é mais que o "quarto elemento" dos YMO.

This week we’ve got a cheerful selection of City Pop and moody synth-pop. Big highlights are some great examples of programming by Hideki Matsutake, an essential figure in japanese pop who is much more than just the “fourth member” of Yellow Magic Orchestra.
