Aburadako, an enigmatic and influential force in the Japanese underground music scene, is a band steeped in mystery and experimental prowess. Emerging during the eclectic and vibrant punk wave of the 1980s, Aburadako has consistently defied easy categorization, blending elements of punk, noise, and avant-garde to craft their distinctive sound. Their name, which translates to "greasy octopus," reflects the band's penchant for the surreal and the unconventional, and they are known for their cryptic lyrics and idiosyncratic approach to music-making.

Despite their elusive public presence and sporadic activity, Aburadako has left an indelible mark on the Japanese music landscape, influencing subsequent generations of musicians intrigued by the group's artistic integrity and unique sonic footprint. Their recent remastered release, "ADK" in 2023, is a testament to the enduring relevance and raw energy of their work. Accompanying this remaster are the thematic releases known as the "Blue Plate" (あぶらだこ 青盤), "Turtle Plate" (あぶらだこ 亀盤), and "Wood Plate" (あぶらだこ 木盤), each of which showcases Aburadako's continued exploration and experimentation within the fabric of Japan's underground music culture.
