Dendö Marionette
At the dawn of the 1980s, Osaka’s Dendo Marionette stood at the forefront of Japan’s first great Synth-Wave explosion—an underground movement where icy electronics collided with the raw urgency of Post-Punk.

Paradise Mambo

Eleven years after the groundbreaking 1981 masterpiece INU – Meshi Kuuna!, Machida returned with a new creative chapter: the album *Harafuri*. This record marked a significant ev…
