Dawny - The Document



This is Dawny from Bluedawn's first solo album. Its a lot more organized than Bluedawn's other member Invisible fish's solo work. Mainly composed of guitar, piano, and drums, The Document shows off her signature brand of folk music.

Adult Child - BTL BTL


I've been looking for this album forever! Adult Child is featured in the drama Coffee Prince and they have a song on the Cracker soundtrack. The vocals are very similar to Bluedawn.

VAMPS - Evanesecent



VAMPS brand new single! VAMPS is comprised of Hyde from L'Arc~en~ciel and Kaz. Hyde's vocals and Kaz's guitar skills create a new sound in Japanese rock. Evanescent is pretty toned down compared to Vamps more lively singles. It's reminiscent of Season's Call. This song really showcases Hyde's vocals which is always a plus for me =D Also check out the cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars". Hyde always reminds me of Bowie so I thought the song was very fitting.

The Pillows - Fooly Cooly OST 3



An alternative rock band from Japan. Probably my favorite collection of The Pillows. Ride on A Shooting Star, Carnival, and Runner's High are the highlights of the album.

Bluedawn - When Spring Comes




Bluedawn's third and final album before they disbanded. Definitely my favorite. Their music is slow and sorrowful, with the predominant instrument being guitar. In addition to guitars and voices, the group sometimes also features drums, piano, and electronics.

Aluto - Gomoji no Ito


Aluto's debut album Gomoji no Ito. Their music is a unique blend of acoustic guitar and violin. My favorite tracks are the title track Gomoji no Ito, Michi, Maigo no uta, and Oyasumi, mata ashita.
