Kahimi Karie

It's : a Singer
Genre : Shibuya-kei/pop/indie pop
Hometown : Tokyo, Japan / Paris, France
Started her career in : 1990 when her boyfriend Cornelius asked her to participate under his Trattoria recording label. She then released her first single, Mike's Always Diary in 1992 and immediately known as "Shibuya-kei Princess" with her sultry, sexy yet naive voice. She then move to Paris to pursue her career.

Catching Point : Her sexy-yet-naive voice in collaboration with her whispery singin' style is more than enough to made the nite. She sings in English, Japan and France (among other languages) and give her music this candy French taste

Asobi Seksu

It's : a band
Genre : phsycedelic/trance/pop/indie/shoegaze
Hometown : New York, US
Formed in : Originally known as Sportfuck (2001), they changed their name to Asobi Seksu (casual/playful sex) and release their full-length album in 2004
Members :
  • Yuki Chikudate (singing|vocals)
  • James Hanna (guitar, vocals)
  • Haji (bass guitar|bass)
  • Ben Shapiro (drum kit|drums)

Catching Point : First i had my ears on them, i just can't help but to fall immediately. Asobi Seksu is fun, sexy and just utterly hard to forget. Yuki's translucent voice might remind us of other Japanese bands out there but this ambience sure leave it's own signature. Their sound has been said to drawn influence from the shoegazing movement of the late 1980s to early 1990s, which was coined to describe the textured and effects-heavy sound of alternative rock in that era. Though full with sad and melodramatic lyrics, the sound's fun and all candy. What's unique is we'll never find songtitle's word inside the lyrics. They always kinda put on title that fit the song's ambiance and theme instead of cutting it from the lyrics. Listen to it once and you'll definitely crave for another!

Belle & Sebastian

It's : a band
Genre : Indie/Pop/Folkrock/Tweepop/Alternative
Hometown : Glasgow, Scotland
Formed In : January 1996
Members :
Current :
  • Stuart Murdoch (vocals, guitar and keyboards)
  • Stevie Jackson (vocals and guitar)
  • Chris Geddes (keyboards)
  • Richard Colburn (drums)
  • Sarah Martin (violin, keyboards, guitar, and vocals)
  • Mick Cooke (trumpet and bass)
  • Bobby Kildea (guitar and bass)

Former:
  • Isobel Campbell: 1996–2002 (vocals and cello)
  • Stuart David: 1996–2000 (bass)

Catching Point : The band that once said as a "product of botched capitalism" by Stuart Murdoch (one of the founder with Stuart David) is private but not insular, pretty but not wimpy; they make gorgeous, delicate melodies sound full-bodied. Though they folk-rock melodies might sounds a bit whimsy and surreal, but the odd, unsettling lyrical detail keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality. their musics may haunt, but sweet as you listen to the last...And the site's also provide you complete lyrics and all :)
