Who better to provide us with an aural guide to Japanese music than a band who are currently touring the place for the umpteenth time? This mixtape is giddy. So you will be too. Featuring music from Lite, Casiopea, Cornelius, Shugo Tokumaru, Polysics and more, there’s probably nothing better to listen to on a Friday.
MP3: This is the Japanese mixtape of a band called Adebisi Shank
Adebisi play The Button Factory on November 20th with support from Not Squares. Buy a ticket or two. You can still listen to their new album too.

Brilliant LITE track.. Their finest for sure. De De Mouse is great too, think he supported them on their last leg over there.
hey Colin,
I think this might be my favourite Lite tune

Their sound has definitely changed alot for the past few releases. It’s very experimental and they use alot of synths and electronics. I saw them play new stuff live quite alot over the past year and I have no idea how they do it. A ridiculously brilliant band really.
this is excellent
