Description
In this episode of Tokyo Tangents, we're featuring Japanese post-rock. Emerging in Japan in the late '90s, today its influence can be felt all over, especially in J-pop. In this episode, we'll trace the lineage of Japanese post-rock by following tracks from the early era to the present day, featuring music from South Penguin, LITE, mouse on the keys, Gonno × Masumura, Jim O'Rourke, Okada Takuro and many more. "In this series, we've introduced you to all sorts of Japanese music, from ambient to jazz, dub to soundtracks. And in my time as your host, I've really felt that more people than ever before are taking interest in the sounds of Japan. I hope one day I can show you even more. Thank you all so much for tuning in to Tokyo Tangents." - Masaaki Hara, 2019.
