The sun is out (somewhere) and the nights are still long, and time to shift down the tempo to the Brazilian rhythm of Bossa Nova - Made In Japan. Outside of Japan, Brazil has the largest Japanese population of any other country, and though their relationship has a peculiar past, there has always been a love for the Brazilian sound. The sensual heartbeat of bossa may chime with an ancestral memory of Japanese folk music (minyo) which often has a slow walking type rhythm. Or the mood and chords of saudade could remind the Japanese listener of fado (Portugal having a longer history with the archipelago). Whatever the reason, it's a comfortable fit, and there are endless renditions of the bossa sound, with a splash of kayoukyoku umami.

Sliding back the screen to reveal Japan's singular tidal wave of creativity, that rushed in after punk, which had opened the door to a new way, from the late 1970s onwards. It seemed almost overnight pompous prog. rock and jazz fusion were swept aside for a more immediate and relevant sound. Once the garage bands had set down their three chords, another crop of musicians and amateurs had their moment. Stepping up to the mic in this session are (early) Rough Trade styled low-fi guitar units, minimal bedroom synth outfits, have-a-go vocalists with primitive drum machines, and ethereal strummers, released on cassette, flexi disc and the rest, all Made In Japan.
