Neo-shibuya-kei

Neo-Shibuya-kei is a vibrant, eclectic music genre that revitalizes the playful and sophisticated sound of the 1990s Shibuya-kei movement with a contemporary twist. It blends elements of pop, jazz, bossa nova, and electronic music, characterized by catchy melodies, lush arrangements, and a whimsical, sometimes nostalgic aesthetic. The genre often incorporates a diverse array of influences, ranging from retro to modern, creating a unique audio-visual experience that appeals to both past and present sensibilities. Artists like chocolatre and Roly Poly Rag Bear infuse their music with a playful energy and intricate instrumentals, while acts such as Pitcher56 and pomodorosa explore the experimental and electronic possibilities, reflecting the diverse and dynamic nature of neo-Shibuya-kei.
