[SPECIAL UP!] Review of Upset heroes! - sky high EP

[...] Being also an upbeat rock song with electronic elements just like the previous one, “COLORS” plays more with changes of pace and style, changing from rock to rap parts and even slight dub step, but keeping its general cheerful base all the time. Also here, synths are taking over after second chorus, until Hiko’s high voice comes back, backed up by Kengo on drums. [...]

[SPECIAL UP] Review of ANOTHER STORY OF THE OTHER SIDE – Rapid Eye Movement EP

“Rapid Eye Movement” is rich in variety, going from sweeping rock songs to emotional ballads in only four songs. ASOOS are mixing English and Japanese language, making their songs easily accessible for foreign listeners as well. Starting with the most powerful track on this album, “Just remember”, the band makes sure to thrill the listener right from the beginning. The song is powerful, high quality music with catchy melodies and an infectious rhythm.

[NEW BAND UP!] ANOTHER STORY OF THE OTHER SIDE

The sound of ANOTHER STORY OF THE OTHER SIDE (ASOOS) can go from aggressive, melancholic shouts to soft piano melodies in seconds, then rocking and making you dance along in the next one. Like no other band ASOOS are real pro’s in combining aggressive guitar riffs and heavy technical rhythms merging with beautiful piano melodies and Shouta’s clear high-tone voice as well as powerful shouts.

▲the new concept of miji-p▲ 【www.miji-p.com】

miji-p – formerly known as "SaKi's コーナー" (SaKi's corner) – got a facelift and a change in its concept today. From now on, I'm going on with the new name "miji-p" which is short for "doing promotion (p) for many incredible Japanese indies (miji)".

As usual you can expect detailed profiles of great indies bands, but from now on, you can also enjoy interviews with the presented bands, reviews of releases (that are mainly available for overseas, too) and concert reports.

I also got great new partners – until now JM:SiXXX and Nyanko Scandal Factory – for great collaborations. Who knows what the future will hold for us?

With the change of concept, I decided to put up a new profile or a new special (interview / review / report) every 14 days and not every week anymore. In the meantime, I will of course share videos, pictures and news of the bands I presented so far, so be sure to not miss out on this!

Please keep supporting me and my project from now on, too! I'm doing my best to present you cool new bands you will love to listen to!

※ btw, I'm also open for suggestions, as long as the band is an indies band and has no European label yet ^_-

[SPECIAL UP!] Interview with doukoku

Talking about a diverse musical style, how would you describe Doukoku’s music?

Doukoku: It’s rock music that incorporates Western music while cherishing Japanese language. Our lyrics are in Japanese and all the titles are written in kanji.

[...]

Just recently it was announced Doukoku will come to Europe for some shows! Are you excited yet? What are you looking forward to the most and did you start to prepare yourselves and the shows already?

Fumiya: We are very happy to be able to come to Europe. We are looking forward to do live shows in places where we have not been before.

Ryusuke: We rehearse and also practicing a little English. Because, even if only a little bit, I want us to be able to communicate. But still, we don’t understand English at all, so everyone please just follow us (laughs).

Exciting! With restarting the project today, a new section was etablished: Please enjoy the first interview on miji-p! This time, rock/electro duo doukoku took their time to answer some questions about their music, their upcoming Europe tour and what to do with a broken computer (^_-)
