It's painful to write down the itinerary of music, but I think the culture shock I received from Mr. YMO was great. My preference is to move to NEWWAVE and PUNK. PUNK first came from Pistols and Stalin, and soon was a high school student with hardcore and positive punk (Gothic). For Japanese bands, I went to most of the live performances by Sodom, Abradako and Sadi Sadds. At the time of high 1, I got into the movies of Godard and Nouvel Verg from the viewpoint of PUNK and Moon Riders, and I watched only maniac movies. Shuji Terayama also loved it. When I was a teenager who loved birthday parties and Bauhaus, suddenly I didn't like it anymore and I love UK guitar pop, indie pop and Anorak like Smith, Aztec Camera, Monochrome Set and Pastel. We are having a shocking encounter with Lollipop Sonic. I also listened to quite a lot of music from there, but in the end I like alternative rock and indie after post-punk the most. So I still listen to that kind of music today. I like the sounds of the times. In the 00s, I wasn't really interested in old things, especially UK indies. The US is interesting these days, and Sweden has been a favorite since 1990. But over the past year or two, I've started to listen to old things again. This old thing is music before punk.
I can say consistently that I like rock, pop, culture, football, and the UK thing.

    The Glasgow School / ORANGE JUICE

    It wasn't real time that made me like orange juice, but rather a sudden indie pop encounter with the C86 movement that happened in the UK in the mid 1980s, and Llippop Sonic, the predecessor of Flippers in November 1987. It was because I was absorbed in the guitar and pop band, and got the 1st dolphin jacket that was hard to come by at the time. It was okay to choose that album, but the same Scottish Franz Ferdinand made a big break in 2004 and was planned and released as their favorite in 2005. With the strongest contents of their hard-to-find singles from the Postcard era and the illustrious debut albums that were once stored, the punk band that began to chase style became uniform and completely punk. Around 79-80, when it disappeared, the innovative and sublime punk spirit of creating a new style of punk-post punk by fusing the buzzcox and chic disco sounds that were in conflict with punk at that time, was tightly packed. It's the best collection of colorful pop songs (disco punk) that are shockingly glittering! The booklet is also excellent, and Edwin and James Kirk, who wear fringe hair and sailor, are my idols forever.

    Making Dens / MYSTERY JETS

    The music scene in London from around 2005 to 2007 was spectacular. Young people in their late teens and around 20 who were inspired by the Libertines and others around the age of 20 exhibited a tremendously fresh creativity, and a tremendously energetic and stylish moment was born, creating a lot of vibrant masterpieces. !! At the center was Mystery Jets from "ELL PIE ISLAND", an island on the Thames in southwest London. At that time, it was mixed with four young men of 19,20 and was called Dad Rock because the father of Brain of lead vocal participated, and it was also called Prog because the influence of the progress could be seen. Camden in January 2006, when I first saw them, I couldn't forget the impact of Barfly, it was the impact of watching Lollipop Sonic for the first time, or striking an early 12 string guitar hard. A sweet and sour melody reminiscent of the Aztec camera when I was wearing it, a refreshing uplifting feeling, and a high tension and intensity! It was the same shock, and it was already perfect. It seems that my memory of about 20 years ago has come back! The album is full of ideas and it's great, and the 80's flavorful 2nd album is also very good. The 3rd release, which will be just released, is also highly anticipated! By the way, Larikin Love's "Freedom Spark" is also a great work of this period.

    Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down / NOAH AND THE WHALE

    In around 2007, the London scene will be called Nu Folk, with more fokey bands and solo artists appearing, while being influenced by the mystery Jets. It was so beautiful again! Noah was at the center of the band, and until I was watching them live, Laura Marling was a chorus and had a very pretty charm. At that time, vocal and guitar Charlie and Laura were dating. Although Laura has participated in all the songs in this debut released in August 08, Laura who released her debut as a solo half a year earlier was also a live support member at that time, and eventually two people Sad goodbye. So you can see how this album is filled with glitter and happy colors! There are famous songs that everyone can sing together like "5 Years Time" and "Shape Of My Heart". And I personally like that the musicians in this scene seem to be influenced by American folky artists (Fleet Foxes, Bright Eyes, etc.), but when British people do it does not have a earthy smell and the smell of UK trad It's nice that it comes out naturally. Isn't such a miracle happening anymore? It is a beautiful work that makes you feel like Kyun. 2nd is very dark...

    I Told You I Was Freaky / FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS

    It was in 2004 that the 1st series of the British comedy "The Mighty Boosh" which was the most stylish, mod and indie rock was aired on BBC. Since then, the 3rd series has been made. Vince and Howard have a great musical talent as well as comedy, and many great pop tunes are made in the show, but this FOTC also has the same outstanding musical talent. A comedy duo from New Zealand. The 1st series was aired in the US in 2007, and due to its overwhelming popularity, the 2nd series was aired in early 2009. This album is a collection of works for the 2nd series, but disco is electro, polka is indie pop, S&G style to Bob Dylan style is Latin. Anyway, because the songs and lyrics are made to match the atmosphere of the comedy scene, various music jumps out of the way, but it's really interesting and wonderful, and the song including the arrangement is very good. is. There is a sense of fashion. In fact, last year's US&UK tour was a big sellout everywhere. I've seen the live show on You Tube, but it's the strongest because I'm very good at playing it and it has the most funny and crazy lyrics. Ah, so is the sound, but I definitely want you to watch the DVD! The analog version also comes with a poster, and that sense is great.
