Japan's Forgotten Music Genre: Shibuya-kei

Музыка

Next Video: • TOKYO SNIPER: The Last...
Shibuya-kei is a genre of music that emerged in Tokyo, Japan during the 90's, and has gotten forgotten in recent years. I just wanted to show some love to a genre that is underappreciated.

    Shibuya-key is more like a music wave instead a genre itself. It can include different music genres and that’s why we can hear bossa nova, hip hop, pop, electronic and many other genres through bands and groups. Good video, keep it up!

    Cibo Matto's "Stereotype A" was my comfort album back in high school, legit listened to it on repeat. Really liked Moonchild and King of Silence, something about the 2000s relaxing r&b pop just does it for me

    There's a radio host in COLOMBIA who made an entire 10 hour special with the best sound of Shibuya Kei/Japan jazz and house. Thanks to him we know Pizzicato Five, Cornelius, Sakamoto, etc... playing in colombian radio during the 90's and early 2000. I could share that special show with u.

Really thxx. And I hope Shibuya-Kei to be re-examined like City Pop. Cuz it's not difficult to listen and also really sophisticated

    City pop?

    It's similar to City Pop in the sense that it's a Japanese music genre that was heavily influenced by Western sounds, but a phrase I like to use to describe it is "City Pop's Younger Sibling". City pop was more 70's and 80's, while Shibuya-kei is more 90's. They for sure have some crossover though

    I definitely lean towards younger sibling. To me, a child (or successor) of a genre has to have very clear connection and points between the two, similar to how rock succeeded the blues. City pop and Shibuya-kei have a connection and influence, but nowhere near close enough to call it the child --I think. It ultimately doesn't really matter though. Child or sibling, Shibuya-kei is just really dope 👍

    It wasn’t and it is not a music genre tho. Is a cultural movement. Even SK main personalities disagree in calling it a music genre since its pulls from many cultural sources and it is not only about music, not by a long shot.

    it never went anywhere, unless you got into it less than a year ago on some trend, its been thriving for ages. also if it has been "forgotten in recent years" why are there so many modern shibuya kei playlists with tons of views from waves of new fans and artists? trender.
