Fairy Mirror Interview Comments

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Post your comments about our Fairy Mirror Interview and let us know what you thought of them.

“The reason that I started a band was after watching the TV show “Prince” in junior high school. The performance of the man who played the song piano and the guitar looked very cool to me. It differed a lot from the music of our band now of course.” – KOICHI

We don’t know exactly what type of music that man played, but we do know that the group Fairy Mirror plays a very appealing version of rock music. Self-described by the group as “Melodic Power Metal” and good old “Heavy Metal”, all we need to know is that their songs rock.

Hailing from Osaka, the group has released two albums so far with a third in the works. Composed of JUNO on Vocals, KOICHI and MORI on guitars, MARI on bass and SUGURU banging the drums, this five member group got our heads bobbing.

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Post your comments about our Zamza Interview and let us know what you thought of them.

“I would like to express my thoughts and messages — even difficult or philosophical thoughts — with language easily understood by the audience. First, I deliver our messages to people, and then I send the messages further into their mind. This is my “Pop” music.” – Zinc White

After listened to their first few songs we knew we had found something special. Zamza, who took their name from a Kafka novel, play a driving form of rock music overflowing with smart emotion. With rousing songs like Satori, MANGA and in a waking dream this four person rock group are well worth a listen to.

Chatmonchy Interview Comments

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Post your comments about Chatmonchy Interview and let us know what you thought of them.

“I think the lyrics are very much influenced where we grew up, and all the views of the landscapes we have… so I think it’ll give a deeper feel if you listen to our music in Tokushima.” – Kumiko Takahashi

When you think of Japanese music the city of Tokushima on the island of Shikoku probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. But for the group Chatmonchy, their hometown has been a catalyst to creating their distinctive style of rock music.

First formed in 2004, the all girl band have released three albums and just completed their first tour of the US. And thanks to the good people at Ki/oon Records and iTunes, you can now enjoy their music from the comfort of your own homes… though no doubt Tokushima’s tourist board would love you to come visit them in person.
