まず、カジヒデキ『mini skirt』 は、渋谷系ポップの華やかさと瑞々しいメロディが共存する名盤。 「LA BOOM MY BOOM IS ME」や「Baby Baby, Me Me Me」など、軽快なリズムと甘酸っぱい詞世界が心地よく、北欧ポップへの憧憬も感じられるサウンド。90年代後半の日本のインディ・シーンを象徴する一枚です。
A beautifully curated 4-CD set featuring two icons of Japanese pop culture — Hideki Kaji and Suneohair. Both artists represent different shades of the late ’90s and early 2000s indie scene: Kaji’s bright, playful Shibuya-kei charm meets Suneohair’s introspective, emotional storytelling.
Hideki Kaji Mini Skirt captures the spirit of 90s Shibuya pop with sparkling melodies and witty lyrics, blending British indie and Scandinavian pop influences. Tea refines his sound into something warmer and more mature — a gentle, melodic record perfect for lazy afternoons.
Suneohair a watercolor paints delicate emotions in subtle tones, filled with themes of rain, solitude, and quiet hope. Meanwhile, Burning shows his more raw, rock-oriented side, balancing melancholy with energy and honesty.
Together, these albums define an era of Japanese pop that valued both craft and heart — effortlessly stylish, deeply human, and timelessly relatable.
