イギリスの老舗音楽情報サイト「NME」に、Yokan SystemのYapa(video)が掲載されました🌞 これは、2年ほど前にツアーで訪れたNYで撮られました。 MVというより、映像作家のJett & Chalalai とYokan Systemのいわゆる音楽と映像の実験でした。 長い歳月を経て生まれた作品。 Prospect Park(ブルックリン,NY)の秋の映像。光と落ち葉。 是非観ていただきたいです。@ampleplay #NME #electro #music #yokan_system #experiment #video #animation #prospect_park http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-radar/new-music-of-the-day-yokan-system-yapa-video

Yokan System // Whispering Ample Play
-Recommended Track(s): Ipanema
On Yokan System’s debut record Whispering, “indie” works to dissociate itself from the guitar. The Tokyo-based synth duo functions as a pop outfit, including 13 songs replete with twee, female vocal melodies, playful arpeggio interludes and subversive layers of ambient noise. In total, the record successfully defies repetition at the expense of singular memorability. It’s as though Whispering wants to wear the pop façade without actually getting stuck with any hooks. That inherent ecstasy, the layers built and built to trigger an inescapable emotional response, is not present here. Whispering chooses to meander, incorporating more reactionary elements from noise, ambient and shoegaze, an albeit guitar-centric sub-genre. And like shoegaze, YS creates not songs (verse, pre-chorus, chorus) but soundscapes, opting for themes defined by synth tones and filled in with clangorous din and piercing overtones. Vocals, of course, are layered in for effect more than punctuation. The songs constantly evolve, never stagnating. Passages appear and fade that are impressive, truly interesting, even in an age of artificial curation and incomprehensible proliferation. I’m reminded of Montreal-born and Marseilles-based web artist Emile Gervais’ recent conversation about turning web browsing into a pointless excursion, and how this idea of web searches that aren’t searching for anything in particular can invoke new meanings. Does Whispering need to be as long as it is, clocking in at 37 minutes? Probably not. But then again, it doesn’t appear to be searching for anything in particular. And how can a journey without the anxiety of a premeditated destination be too long or too short? It’s purely an unbound experience, one without comparison.

Here are 2 songs “Ipanema” and “YAPA” from the debut album Whispering on 16th October 2015 by @ampleplay.
“Two of the finest indie talents in Tokyo right now” Yokan System are a newly formed electronic duo from Tokyo Japan.
They are Mai (vocals & synth) and Tsukasa (Track./Gt./Synth.). Think early Human League with touches of Cocteau Twins.
Yokan means premonition in Japanese. They quote Warpaint, Björk and Blonde Redhead as some of their influences. They work with analogue keyboards, synth drums and stereo spirit. They self-released an EP in Japan, which did well on college radio. They had 1st US tour in October 2014, after that, their 1st single with Ample Play Records came out in November ‘A Dream You Never Wake Up From’ and in February ‘Klee’ and ‘Yokan Teresa’ got them BBC 6 Music plays & blog attention in the UK. Also,they had 1st UK/Europe tour in February and they could play twice with Lydia Ainsworth(Arbutus Records) in London & Amsterdam as the opening act.
They had been back to UK in September 2015 again and their debut album “Whispering“ will be released by Ample Play Records(UK) on 16th October 2015.

From the debut album 'Whispering'.
"Yokan System generates a transparent daydream during their live sets, it transforms and merges with each of you." -Taigen Kawabe (Bo Ningen)
“They sound so gloriously quirky and effervescent that you just simply can't help falling in love with them.” -Little Indie Blog
“Yokan system are Japanese duo, Mai and Tsukasa. ‘Klee’ is taken from the 'Yokan Teresa’ single, out 9th February on Ample Play records. The band cite Warpaint, Björk, and Blonde Redhead as some of their influences, but here we find them at their most vibrant and synth heavy, bringing to mind Crystal Castles, or the early Ed Banger output. Whatever their influences, there’s no denying the power of this bold piece of electro. ” - Lauren Laverne /BBC Radio 6 Music

All systems go on electro duo’s debut
Formed little more than a year ago, Japanese electro duo Yokan System have wasted little time in establishing themselves outside their homeland, with a well-received European tour and brace of singles followed swiftly by this debut long-player.
With a core sound perched midway between Crystal Castles and Peaking Lights, singer Mai Yano’s little-girl vocals, sung in her native language, provide the band’s most distinctive element. Sounding at times as if they’re being performed over a skipping rope, they provide a light and airy foil to Tsukasa Kameya’s dark and jagged stabs of synth. The contrast is at its most explicit on Sympathy Doll, with the repeated “cha cha cha” of its chorus lines even betraying hints of J-pop kawaii. Elsewhere, the abrasive guitars of the title track, the warped sunny harmonies of the strangely beautiful Melt Away, the relentlessly dark art-noise of Tete, and the future-pop of Sea Moon, whose heavily echoed spoken vocals evoke rain-soaked Blade Runner cityscapes, all exemplify the distinct voice of a band whose North Asian characteristics add a fresh slant to well-trodden electro tropes.
