Subway dynamicsMarmalade butcher
Known by the playful nickname “Marniku,” Marmalade butcher launched in 2010 and began full-fledged band activities in 2012, presenting a uniquely distinctive sound within Japan’s indie scene of the 2010s and beyond.
Their official website even states, quite frankly, that their motto is “irresistible instrumentals,” and true to that claim, their music stylishly fuses a range of genres—post-rock, math rock, electronica, and even elements of video game music—into something undeniably chic and cool.
Of course, it’s not just style without substance.
The band’s distinctive approach—hybrid compositions crafted by guitarist Nienu, the founder who originally wrote music solo, performed live by musicians of exceptional skill—undeniably carries the heat of a true rock band.
At the same time, their contemporary sensibility in handling electronic music like electronica as a matter of course, their track titles that are just as unpredictable as the songs themselves, and the ambiguous vibe in their artist photos—leaving you unsure whether they’re serious or joking—all of these traits make them quintessentially a band of the 2010s, which is fascinating to see.

The singer May’n, who has performed numerous anime songs, is actually from Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture!

After that, she released the duet “Lion” with Megumi Nakajima, which became a big hit.
Her sharp, powerful high notes and strong vocal ability are incredibly captivating! If you haven’t listened to her songs yet, start with her famous tracks first.
Tubular BellsMike Oldfield
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this is one of the most famous main theme songs in horror film history worldwide.
“Tubular Bells” became a hit not only in the United States but also in Japan as the theme for the classic horror film The Exorcist, and just listening to it vividly brings back scenes from that terrifying movie.
In fact, this main theme is an arranged and re-recorded version of the distinctive main phrase that opens Part 1 of British musician Mike Oldfield’s 1973 solo album Tubular Bells.
There’s a behind-the-scenes story that Oldfield himself had no involvement in the performance or arrangement of the film version, but that doesn’t diminish the value of the piece.
If you only know The Exorcist version, be sure to give the original album a listen as well.
ChangeMonkey Majik+Yoshida Kyoudai
It’s a collaborative track by the rock band Monkey Majik and the Tsugaru-shamisen duo Yoshida Brothers, blending rock with traditional Japanese instruments.
You might wonder, “Do rock and Tsugaru shamisen really go together?” The Yoshida Brothers’ signature song RISING already incorporates intense guitar sounds and has a cool, powerful finish.
In this song, however, the standout feature is the harmony between Monkey Majik’s fresh, uplifting rock and the Tsugaru shamisen, expressing a new form of East–West fusion.
The lyrics sing as if speaking to the listener: “Let’s keep chasing the dream we once threw away, without giving up,” which has encouraged many listeners as an inspirational anthem.
