I’m just mad that you can’t find the Fun Fun Fun EP on youtube any more. Can’t share some of their best and most recent songs, like Cookie Tabetai.

Wow, almost didn’t recognize Hana on guitar. Wasn’t 100% sure it was her until she took over on drums. The others look the same though (except hair color). F-Chopper still rocking her signature Vellmor.
Like it, cool style direction for them. These guys really deserve all the recognition they get, really talented and still rocking this style of music well in to their mid-30s in an industry here that doesn’t make that easy.

Great weekend to y’all.
This, funky jazz fusion (I guess?), is pure genius. The drums, and horn section especially. The whole track seems to do some chromatic shenanigans that I absolutely adore.

Can I actually hear Japanese influence in that piece? I think a couple of arpeggios are definitely in one of those Japanese modes.

Was that for me, @wellbi ?? I am not sure I have even heard of Japanese modes before, much less how they sound

He is good on bass as well:
for example this … it’s that “japanese” pentatonic scale in all of Japanese music that’s really recognizable

Here’s a song you might be familiar with that’s in Hirajoshi mode

There’s a few scales in use in traditional music here, that pentatonic is one of them. There’s also a heptatonic and a few others. I’m not very familiar with them though.
Have to agree with Howard, Japanese popular music draws from everywhere. Here’s the opening from one of my favorite animes, Yuru Camp. A show about camping. The theme owes more to the Jackson Five than Hirajoshi
