Japan pop music: Japop. Exit, Tokumaru's latest US release has flavors of The Dodos, Final Fantasy, The Little Ones and Sufjan Stevens. I could write a long description of the album, but I think PopMatters did a great job here which I originally saw here.
The one major downfall for me is that the lyrics are entirely in Japanese, despite some english titles. I am a girl who loves lyrics, particularly cheeky and winding lyrics. That said, I will never fall painfully in love with this album because I can't quite relate to it (read: sing along). Nonetheless, its an interesting departure from the american and european pop scene right now. Check it out.
