Last year in December, I hosted my first totally self-organised live music event in Tokyo, and it went better than I could have ever dreamed (the pics are on @angura-live.bsky.social).

This April, we do it again. A few more bands chosen to absolutely blow you away. Watch this space!

Video by me ✌🏻

Lovely Summer Chan’s long-awaited 3.5th album “Music For Walking (Out Of The Woods)” is out today! 💊

Shout out to TOKIO TOKYO, Shibuya’s ultimate hidden gem 💎

This music venue is in the middle of Shibuya (opposite the PARCO) but is a bastion of alternative culture, with the staff here putting together so many incredible lineups and giving indie acts a space to truly shine. Don’t walk past it.

More Japanese indies on BlueSky ↓↓↓

I made a list of Japanese indie acts and musicians! Only a handful so far, but I expect more to join this year as many make it their goal to reach more foreign listeners.

Tokyo suddenly switched from very mild autumn to bitter winter today and I am feeling COSY. Coat, big hoodie, fireside music, oh yeah.

Most bonkers music event in Tokyo: YACCHA-OUKOKU (やっちゃ王国) is a free entry, secret lineup event that people go nuts for. You never know what you’re going to get except the organisers and headliners DONMARU (see video), but the reputation for stunning acts has built a wonderful community of regulars.

Ahh, it’s that season in Japan where people start harassing you for wearing short sleeves.

A big issue I had with Twitter was because my account is 15 years old (oh my god), it was associated with topics that I don’t really talk about anymore, and my posts got recommended to all the wrong people. These days I like talking about Japanese music and culture—happy to have a fresh start 😙
