Hi, I'm Nobu and these are some of my favorite songs~a never ending mixtape. Dance, slam, chill...hell, click your fingers while kickin' back in the futon, if that's what you're into. And, YES, buy the music! Support the band! Liner notes, record jackets and smokey clubs ARE cool!

Tokyo Incident

I tend to shy away from J-Pop. You know, the top 40 single fluff, mindless teenie-bop-idol-made for karaoke product that is endlessly marketed to the youth of Japan.

But, hey, Shina Ringo ain't that bad.

Second single from Tokyo Jihen, Shina Ringo's new band.

4. Thanx for the links...everyone will be listed next time.
5. Coming soon, a post from Kana (my soulmate)...Chinese indie rock?
