#Nagisi Di Te

[bandcampsnoop]

3/24/24.

When I heard the first few seconds of "Ameagari", I assumed this was a reissue from Los Angeles based label Black Editions. Over the course of the past few years they've reissued Japanese music from High Rise, Hallelujahs and Nagisi Di Te - and these are only the LPs I bought.

An'Archives is another label (France) that reissues Japanese bands. And finally don't forget KiliKiliVilla.

But Niningashi "Heavy Way" is being reissued by British label Time Capsule. This has a groove that sounds current - like it could be Holy Hive or maybe Mac DeMarco. The Bandcamp page mentions a cross between Neil Young and Haruomi Hosono's Happy End.

Niningashi was the brainchild of pharmacist/musician Kazuhisa Okubo - who was based in Tokyo, Japan.
