FAKE TYPE.

**FAKE TYPE** is a dynamic Japanese duo known for their genre-blending cocktail of jazz, funk, electronic beats, and retro city pop vibes. Formed around 2013 by vocalist/producer DJ Tekina a Something and lyricist/vocalist Yuppa, their music packs a punch with playful energy, cheeky lyrics, and anime-esque flair. Tracks like "FAKE SWING 2" and "Zillion playerZ" showcase their signature swing-infused electronica, while releases like "魔崇華麗奴" (Masō Karei Dorei) and "Honky Tonky Night" highlight their knack for theatrical, groove-heavy storytelling. With a visual style that nods to retro gaming and pop culture, FAKE TYPE’s infectious sound has built a cult following, particularly through platforms like YouTube and Nico Nico Douga. Whether they’re dropping hyperactive EPs like "Cats are dangerous" or crafting neon-lit anthems like "Nightless City," this duo keeps their beats fresh, fun, and unapologetically quirky.
