Tentenko is a Japanese musician who has carved a unique niche in the landscape of experimental and electronic music. She began her career as a member of the Japanese idol group BiS (Brand-new idol Society), which itself was known for pushing the boundaries of the traditional idol format with its eccentric and often controversial approach. After her departure from BiS in 2014, Tentenko embarked on a solo career that allowed her to fully express her individual artistic vision.
Embracing a DIY ethic and the avant-garde, Tentenko's work incorporates a diverse range of influences, from noise music to techno to elements of the Japanese music genre known as "city pop." Her discography, featuring releases such as "The Soft Cave," "An Antworten EP," and "Super Mild," showcases her ability to blend these influences into a sound that is both challenging and accessible. Collaborations with other artists, like "Animal's Pre-Human" with neco眠る, display her willingness to explore different sonic territories. Titles like "きけんなあなた," "危険なハイウェイ," and "工業製品" highlight her fascination with themes of modernity, industrialism, and the complexity of human emotion, all woven together through her experimental lens. Tentenko continues to be a figure of interest for those who follow the underground music scene in Japan, and her work is enjoyed by a global audience of listeners with an appetite for the unconventional.
