Our Take

Koujirou Wakanami's latest album, "Genkai Otoko Bushi," is a wild ride through the eclectic world of Japanese folk music. From the moment the first track kicks in, you know you're in for a treat - or a shock, depending on your tolerance for musical experimentation.

Wakanami's playful lyrics and energetic vocals keep the album from feeling too serious, even when he's delving into deep emotions and complex themes. His ability to seamlessly blend traditional folk melodies with modern production techniques is nothing short of impressive, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.

The standout track, "Sake Tainted Memories," is a raucous romp through memories of wild nights and bad decisions. Wakanami's infectious energy and clever wordplay make this song an instant classic, destined to be a fan favorite at live shows.

But it's not all high-energy anthems - tracks like "Rainy Day Lament" showcase Wakanami's softer side, with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that will linger in your mind long after the song has ended.

Overall, "Genkai Otoko Bushi" is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons. Wakanami's fearless approach to genre-bending and boundary-pushing makes this album a truly unique and unforgettable listening experience.

Koujirou Wakanami

KOUJIROU WAKANAMI: The Eccentric Enigma If you've been living under a rock for the past decade, you might have missed the meteoric rise of KOUJIROU WAKANAMI, the enigmatic musical maverick who has been turning heads and spinning records since his debut album "Neon Dreams" dropped in 2010. With a sound that can only be described as psychedelic funk meets avant-garde electronica, KOUJIROU WAKANAMI has carved out a niche for himself in the ever-evolving landscape of experimental music. Hailing from the small town of Sapporo, Japan, KOUJIROU WAKANAMI's early influences range from the likes of David Bowie to Kraftwerk, but his sound is anything but derivative. His use of unconventional instruments and sampling techniques creates a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. You never know what to expect when you hit play on a KOUJIROU WAKANAMI track, but one thing is for sure - you won't be disappointed. His latest album "Lunar Ramblings" has been met with critical acclaim, with Pitchfork calling it "a mind-bending journey through space and time." From the trippy synths of "Stargazer's Waltz" to the pulsating beats of "Cosmic Jive," KOUJIROU WAKANAMI takes the listener on a rollercoaster ride of sound and emotion. But don't let his avant-garde exterior fool you - KOUJIROU WAKANAMI is not afraid to show his playful side. Whether he's donning a sequined jumpsuit on stage or dropping obscure pop culture references in his lyrics, KOUJIROU WAKANAMI is a true original in a sea of copycats.
