With a large music industry such as Japan has, second largest in the world, it is inevitable that music fans will be inundated with a profusion of good (and also less good) music from this country. It is impossible to keep track of this and write a review about it per video. But to avoid missing out on gems, it is time for a weekly list of new music videos from lesser-known Japanese musical acts that are definitely worth watching. We are now looking back on a couple of videos that were released in week 42 of the year 2020. Enjoy the new discoveries!

遣ノ雨 (Yarazu no ame) – My music life is the end

Pop group Yarazu no ame got formed in 2018 by Anna and yuna who are based in Osaka. Anna writes the lyrics of all the songs and yuna is de guitarist and main composer of the songs. In the summer of 2018, the group released a demo that got followed by another demo in December. Soon after they started hosting their own events. Recently they have been releasing various digital singles and is it waiting for a full album. — Recommended by Francisca

chilldspot – 夜の探検 (Yoru no tanken)

The name of the four-piece band chilldspot comes from a combination of several words, such as chill, child, spot and pot. All members are currently around the age of 18 and still in school.

The band members are men of few words and let their music do the speaking: rough, fast and melodic. — Recommended by Francisca

Dannie May – 針よ墜とせぬ、暮夜の息 (Hari yo oto senu, boya no iki)

Pop unit Dannie May consists of three members who like to produce a modern version of pop music with an edgy and groovy sound by adding a wide range of sound essences like funk, soul and rock.

At the start of the summer, the band decided to do a crowdfunding for their first mini-album, since it was difficult to perform which is mostly the best way to make music projects more known. It was a success and the band was able to release it in September. — Recommended by Francisca
