Our Take

Hailed as the latest embodiment of Harajuku's eclectic fashion and music scene, APPARE! HARAJUKU's debut album "Apparainain" is a whirlwind of sonic innovation and irreverent lyrics. Mixing elements of J-pop, EDM, and punk rock, this album is a kaleidoscopic journey through the vibrant streets of Tokyo's trendiest district.

From the infectious beats of "Kawaii Overload" to the cheeky commentary on consumerism in "Brand Name Blues", APPARE! HARAJUKU isn't afraid to push boundaries and challenge musical conventions. The band's unique blend of quirky instrumentals and catchy hooks create a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly original.

Lead vocalist Ami's captivating energy and distinctive vocals are backed by the band's tight production and dynamic arrangements, showing a level of musicianship far beyond their years. Tracks like "Bubblegum Riot" and "Neon Dreams" are sure to get listeners dancing, while "Fashion Victim" offers a more reflective look at the darker side of Harajuku's glamorous facade.

Overall, "Apparainain" is a delightful sonic adventure that captures the essence of Harajuku's eccentric charm. With its infectious energy and bold experimentation, APPARE! HARAJUKU has proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of J-pop. So grab your headphones, slip on your wildest outfit, and dive into the technicolor world of APPARE! HARAJUKU. Trust us, you won't regret it.
