Explore the Unexplored 08

You may have noticed the new-ish button on the right side of the blog that says "Explore the Unexplored." That's the name of my new-ish column over at HearJapan. Every week I take a look at their new releases and from that batch of, usually, around 60-100 new albums, pick my own top 10 favorites. Stuff I think that all music fans will enjoy, as well as stuff that might fly under the radar of even the most tireless Japanese music archivist. Hence the title.

New posts go up every Wednesday, more or less. Since there isn't an easy RSS feed to collect the posts every week, I figured it might help to highlight those highlights here.

This week, make sure to check out the very interesting collaboration between a few mega producers, one of them oshiyuki Kishi from Abigdon Boys School, called JUNK FUNK PUNK. The traditional taiko drumming from Kensaku Satou is pretty stunning as well. And of course there's a ton of new Vocaloid releases for the Hatsune Miku fans.
