Shibuya-kei

Shibuya-kei is a microgenre of pop music that emerged from the fashionable Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan, in the early 1990s. Characterized by its eclectic mix of jazz, bossa nova, French pop, and sixties rock influences, Shiybuya-kei blends these various styles with a playful sense of irony and a sophisticated urban sensibility. The music often incorporates electronic elements, provided by synthesizers and drum machines, alongside traditional instruments. Artists typically associated with this genre are known for their pursuit of lush soundscapes, kitsch aesthetics, and an ironic detachment that can be both whimsical and introspective. Shibuya-kei continues to have a cult following and has influenced various artists around the world, contributing to its standing as an enduring niche in the wider spectrum of pop music.
