Pretsy 1343 Posted February 16, 2015 THE TURTLES JAPAN, the superband consisting of Seiji Kameda (producer, known for his basswork in Tokyo Jihen) and Sakai + Yamamura (from Flumpool), will release their debut album titled "ELECTRIC HUMANITY" @8/4/2015, and "will mainly express "lack of natural traits in modern human relationships" by adopting EDM sound that *might* appeal masses these days" (pretsy's note: ummm...) They also announced the arena tour with the same name Promo pic: https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCuCvgdN3TAdEaB&w=484&h=253&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theturtles.jp%2Fassets%2Fimg%2Fogp2.png&cfs=1&sx=0&sy=1&sw=1200&sh=627 No other details except that their single "It's Alright" will be included as well source: ro69 1 beni reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enyx 903 Posted February 16, 2015 I have no problem with bands adopting traits of EDM into their music so long as it feels natural and not forced. I'll give this a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saishuu 3220 Posted February 16, 2015 already sounds more interesting than anything flumpool ever did. I remember liking that first video of theirs, so I'll check this out for Kameda's sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted February 16, 2015 I have no problem with bands adopting traits of EDM into their music so long as it feels natural and not forced. I'll give this a shot. Mind you that I am not on an EDM hate bandwagon either (even though certain J-acts/artists have shown unfortunately much lazier traits in their music when they began to embrace EDM, e.g. Capsule, Ayu...) - I actually umm-ed at the way band explained their new "soundscape", but anyways - crossing my fingers and hoping that Kameda will do something interesting with boys from Flumpool (which I unfortunately don't follow...didn't click yet, I guess?) "It's Alright" for those who never heard of them before + protip: in case GEMA happens to country-block your videos (I think I witnessed someone complaining about this PV being Germany/NL-blocked? Idk), I strongly advise you to switch to jpopsuki.tv in case you want to enjoy (mostly) HD PVs without those SMEJ/Universal pests - no registration required!

herpes 1597 Posted February 16, 2015 had almost forgotten how much that single sounded like a watered down Mr Children, which to be fair, is impressively difficult to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
