Yapoos

Yapoos are a delightfully eccentric Japanese avant-pop band that emerged in the 1980s as a brainchild of iconic singer Jun Togawa, following her work with experimental group Guernica. Known for their genre-blurring antics, Yapoos mix cabaret theatrics, punk energy, and surreal pop sensibilities into a wild musical cocktail. Tracks like the playful "ダイヤルYを廻せ！" (Dial Y!) showcase their signature blend of quirky melodies and subversive lyrics, often wrapped in psychedelic arrangements that feel both retro and ahead-of-their-time. While maintaining a cult status, they've influenced Japan's alternative music scene with albums like *YAPOOS no Kyouen* and their unpredictable live shows, where Togawa's charismatic vocals clash gloriously with chaotic instrumentation. Recent releases like *Dadada ism* and *Hys* prove they’ve kept their mischievous creative spirit intact decades later.
