‘Japanese shoegaze’ might sound like a niche within a niche and a genre created by “that guy” who has to outweird everyone else with his music. Still, it’s quite a movement. In 2013, the ‘Yellow Loveless’ album saw all 11 tracks on My Bloody Valentine’s landmark album Loveless covered by Japanese bands. Of course, MBV’s Kevin Shields also contributed several songs to the soundtrack for Tokyo-based film Lost In Translation.
