Playing the best of Japanese Indies and underground (and other stuff). Music you will hear nowhere else! Mike has been fired from every Tokyo FM station at least once and some of them 4 times! I wear it as a stinky badge of honor because FM in Japan sucks so much. Tune in! Be there!

That girl from the Leaners sings in English so well.... I wonder if she can speak English. No joke, I've met Japanese who sounded perfect in English but couldn't hold a concersation t save their life!

↳ Mike Rogers @5:12
yeah and that's a tricky song to sing. Very fast.

I mean in singing, their English was perfect.... But could not hold a conversation at all.

Mr Fab:

↳ Song: "King of Loose Ends" by "the Routes"
not surprised Iggy likes this one. It is pretty Iggy-esque.

Iggy played one of their bigger hits. The Routes are not really famous in Japan, but huge in Europe!

perhaps not Song Title Of The Week, but pretty amusing title nonetheless.

Letniy does not do Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram... They keep it a secret but their band is becoming big.... How much longer can they keep it a secret from their co workers?

Lots of Japanese young people are not into social media it seems.
Avatar 5:31pm
Mr Fab:

↳ Mike Rogers @5:25
and you said Japanese radio doesn't play this stuff. So without social media or radio, how do they find out about this music?
Avatar 5:33pm
Mike Rogers:

Clubs and Magazines.
Avatar 5:34pm
Mr Fab:

thanks for the long-distance dedication! This song is a groovy.
Avatar 5:34pm
Mike Rogers:

Japan has always been weird. Radio rarely breaks a band. The bands will get lots of press in magazines and then radio will play it 6 months or more later. Japanese radio only plays major label music.
Avatar 5:35pm

I'm serious when I say that I (Think) I'm the only one that plays this music in Japan.... Japanese pop music is everything USA pop music aspires to become.

there's a couple: "Sounds under 64 Not Allowed," and "Merrily We Roll Along."

And they both sometimes go way back before the '40s.
