Description

[Machine Translation] The cool music supremacists emerging from Tokyo's indie scene have entered a new phase, and it is interesting to see DATS leading the way in this new era of city pop. Although still a Tokyo-based movement, it is exciting to see a new trend emerging in the Japanese music scene and becoming a major trend that symbolizes the second half of the decade. The term "city pop" refers to young bands that are influenced by electronica and neo-psychedelic sounds, including post-chillwave dance beats, but do not stop there, and who play unique indie pop music by absorbing a wide range of music, both Western and Japanese, old and new. The term "new age city pop" was first used around the time Yogee New Waves released their first nationally distributed album. It turned out that in addition to Yogee New Waves, many other bands, such as YKIKI BEAT and The fin. who came to Tokyo from Kobe, were attracting attention, and the Tokyo indie scene was beginning to enter a new phase of its development and to show further signs of activity. It is only a matter of time before this movement becomes even bigger. All it takes is the emergence of a band to spark it: Yogee New Waves or The fin. No wonder it is DATS, who are releasing their debut CD, "DIVE. This is a young scene that is just beginning to gain momentum. If the difference is only a few months, they can still catch up. DATS, which started its activities in 2001 with the goal of revitalizing Tokyo's youth culture, has since been active in live performances, including its own "MUSIC WORLD" event, and in 2002 it participated in Summer Sonic's audition for newcomers, "Can you make it to Summer Sonic? Summer Sonic! In 2002, he won the Kliman Award at Summer Sonic's audition for newcomers, and performed at the same year's Summer Sonic. Since then, the band has continued to make its presence known by supporting London multi-instrumentalist Tom Veck and Australian indie rock band The Last Dinosaurs on their tour of Japan. The band's latest release, "DIVE," is a collection of 4 songs, including "Candy Girl," a disco number that uses sparkling synths and has a somewhat 80's feel to it, and "The Last Dinosaurs," a song about a girl who is in the middle of a party.

Description in Japanese

DIVE / DATS

新たな局面を迎えた東京のインディーズ・シーンから現れたクールな音楽至上主義者達新しい時代のシティ・ポップをリードするのはこのDATSだおもしろいことになってきた。まだまだ東京を中心とした動きではあるが、日本の音楽シーンに新たなトレンドが生まれ、10年代後半を象徴する大きな潮流になりつつあるんだからわくわくせずにいられない。 チルウェイヴ以降のダンス・ビートも含むエレクトロニカやネオ・サイケデリック・サウンドの影響を受けながらそれだけに止まることなく、洋楽・邦楽、さらには時代の新旧を問わない幅広い音楽を吸収することで、それぞれにユニークなインディ・ポップを奏でる若いバンド達を指して、”新しい時代のシティ・ポップ”という言葉が使われるようになったのは、Yogee New Wavesがいわゆる全国流通音源をリリースした前後ぐらいからだろうか。気がつけば、そのYogee New Waves の他にもYKIKI BEATや神戸から東京にやってきたThe fin.など、少なくないバンドが注目され、東京のインディーズ・シーンは新たな局面を迎えるとともに、さらなる活況を呈しはじめていた。 それがもっと大きな動きになるのも時間の問題だろう。火つけ役となるバンドさえ現れればいい。Yogee New Wavesなのか、The fin.なのか。いや、それが今回、デビューCDとなる『DIVE』をリリースするこのDATSであったとしても不思議ではない。盛り上がりはじめたばかりの若いシーンだ。数ヶ月の差ならまだまだ全然、追いつける。 東京のユース・カルチャーを活性化させることを掲げ、13年に活動をスタートさせたDATSはその後、自主企画イベント「MUSIC WORLD」を含むライヴ活動を行いながら、14年にはサマーソニックの新人発掘オーディション「出れんの!?サマソニ!?」でクリマン賞を受賞し、同年のサマソニに出演を果たした。その後もロンドンのマルチ・インストゥルメンタリスト、トム・ヴェックやオーストラリアのインディ・ロック・バンド、ラスト・ダイナソーズの来日公演でサポートを務めることで、その存在をアピールしてきた。 そして、満を持してリリースする今回の『DIVE』ではキラキラと鳴るシンセも使いながら、どこか80年代っぽい雰囲気もある彼ら流のディスコ・ナンバー「Candy Girl」をはじめ、4
