Look what I found / rediscovered

This must be from their radio show. Several versions of their songs just with piano. So glad I kept my MDs … p.s. anyone here from the old, original #P5ML?

serani poji!!!

one of my favorites from my collection - my favorite track always changes but right now it's 'fishman's story.' such a bummer that most shibuya kei groups only released CDs, but it's definitely got me considering starting a CD collection.

show me your rare and expensive shibuya kei vinyl!

Change This World - Instant Cytron

A weirdly nostalgic song that incorporates children's singing, it gives it a really comforting vibe that I can't get enough of. Does anyone else like this song?

Where To Buy Shibuya-Kei In Japan / Tokyo?

I've gone to a few record/cd shops, the main problem is most of the workers have no clue what Shibuya Kei is. If I mention artists like Pizzicato Five they know those, but not the genre as a whole. Disk Union had the best finds but all Shibuya Kei is mixed in with "J-Pop" which makes it impossible for me to find new Shibuya Kei that isn't on spotify/ YouTube, which was my goal.

Maki Nomiya guest artist on a song.

Looking for a music video I believe Maki Nomiya was in. It was an older male singer, her, and a younger rapper guy. They were being pulled on a rickshaw. Does anyone remember this song Japan from the 90s?

Amaiwana - Shanghai Girl

Strong Neo-Shibuya-kei vibes with this one. She just released an EP called "New Shibuya" two days ago tho, featuring both this song and a guest appearance by the Queen of Shibuya-kei herself, Maki Nomiya, so that's to be expected. If you like this, you should check out the -other- EP she recently released, "New Wave". They're both on Spotify and both are wonderful.
