Japanese shoegaze/dream pop

Recommended Posts

Talk about it

I feel like I've been running into a significant amount of shoegaze-influenced stuff (even in VK), even if they're not always straightforwardly/consistently "shoegaze" (that I'm even reluctant to mention them)

Ones I know that are legit enough to be labeled with it

Supercar

Coaltar of the Deepers

Plastic Tree

Fatima

obscure

AURORA

Atmos*Note

Toddle

DISH

any recommendations?

I'm EXTREMELY picky when it comes to shoegaze. There's VERY little that I actually enjoy, but since I'm an ongaku otaku, I do happen to know of a few bands. I guess you can check out the following bands and see how you like them:

Broken Little Sister

Nanocycle

Luminous Orange

Monocism

Plastic Girl In Closet

Lemon's Chair

My Dead Girlfriend

Cruyff in the Bedroom

Hartfield

I don't know if they actually count, but I've heard people refer to Bluebeard, As Meias, and Onsa as shoegaze or shoegaze influenced.

The band Sherbets is also sorta dream poppy. xD

Interesting topic. I was actually going to make one a few months ago. Anyways, I haven't really listened to much Japanese shoegaze, but some interesting bands I stumbled upon were:

Cruyff in the bedroom

sleepy.ab

Coaltar of the Deepers

Luminous Orange

I especially enjoyed the first two. Really great bands. I'm still looking for more Japanese shoegaze/dream-pop bands to listen to.

I second nanocycle, they're fantastic

I've heard Avengers in Sci-Fi referenced as shoegaze as well as Ling Tosite Sigure but iunno

And Guniw Tools has some shoegazey influences

There's Astrobrite too, they aren't japanese but they've done stuff with Narasaki.

That's because they ARE a Shoegaze/Dreampop band, at least Citrus which is the only album I've heard from them. But that is a pure Shoegaze/Dreampop album. I should check out more from them. Amazing stuff!

Their newest album Fluorescence is almost entirely shoegaze as well, and their self-titled has a couple of dream pop/shoegaze tracks.

I just saw Wiki mentioned them as a Noise pop band as well. Do they have any albums that are entierly Noise Pop? Or albums where the main genre is Noise Pop?

Hmm, I wouldn't refer to them as a noise pop band, though Citrus has a couple of tracks that can be classified as noise pop, but I'm not really sure. I think Hush has a few others as well.

I've only heard Citrus and I wouldn't call it anything other than Shoegaze/Dream Pop.

Well, I wouldn't call Fluorescence or their self-titled noise pop at all, so that only leaves Hush.
