If you are open to it, Japan can stir artistry deep inside. It’s a revelation that can permanently expand the musical palette and subtly recalibrate the ear. To capture the feeling this country evoked, I scoured the musical archives until this feeling was replicated. Its a vibe that bubbled up from the soil and pavement across the country, but was refined in Tokyo’s Aoyama district where style, music and everyday life intertwine into a way of being.
