Japanese Shoegaze

[standingonrooftops]

Hi Josella,

Glad you like the thread.

I too was looking for japanese shoegaze after getting "No Thankyou" by Coaltar of the Deepers while in Japan a couple of years ago. After listening to that album I was hooked on J shoegaze.

Ive done heaps of net surfing and forum hunting to track down some bands and it has paid off.

The latest find are 2 bands, they are called: "Ileach" and "Kamiyui"

Track em down and enjoy there music.

I didn't know there were Japanese shoegaze bands...well actually I didn't know there were any other than Sigur Ros in the entire genre, I've never found many bands that sounded anything like them(well I guess they're in the genre, but since I have nothing to compare them with right now, i'm keeping them there)...I will definitely be looking up those other bands though...
