Hmmm, I never heard the shibuya-kei term applied to Puffy before. As much as I like Puffy...
- Assuming you didn't follow the link, Puffy is the original Japanese name for Puffy AmiYumi and what they are still known as in Japan. Sometimes bands have to change their names when going to another location due to copyright and trademark issues. Another example of this is Nirvana UK, who are simply known as "Nirvana" in their homeland of the UK.--み使い Mitsukai 12:16, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Sound
editI was listening to some Pizzicato 5, and decided to look them up on the web. They are considered "shibuya-kei" according to the main Wikipedia page for the group. "Okay, what's that?" thought I. Clicked on the link, and wound up here. No offense, but after reading the entry, I have no idea what "shibuya-kei" means, in terms of how the style is defined. I get that it gets its name after a Tokyo district, which is helpful, sort of, but I don't really get a feel for what the sound / genre is like. Can this be fleshed out more? What is it about the sounds from this area that defines a genre?
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.103.218.146 (talk • contribs)
- From the page: "combines elements of jazz, fusion, traditional music, and other styles", "strongly influenced by French yé-yé Music and its most notable proponent, Serge Gainsbourg", "Other influences include lounge, and bossa nova". Seems alright to me --Closedmouth 14:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Aesthetical Venn-Diagrammatic (Trinity)
editThe often proclaimed Nurturing influence of the Restauration of Nippon via the US-Goverment is very fascinating if cross-read with the influence of Anti-Fascist Germans of all sorts. Oppenheimer of course, but not to forget Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Horkheimer, Einstein, which isn't reducible to Scientific Effort on behalf of German Intellectuals, but includes their artistic, cultural and philosophical intellgentsia.
