Tokyo Beatniks: Modern Beatniks

Each volume offers listeners a 16 song playlist of current favorite Japanese bands and artists. With this exposure, it is my hope to introduce amazing Japanese artists and bands to audiences here in the United States and around the world. For more, please follow Tokyo Beatniks on Spotify for new playlists.

16 Songs From Tokyo Beatniks

Each playlist features 60s & 70s Japanese Beat, Showa Pop, Rock & Roll, Group Sounds, j-boogie, and Shibuya-Kei. With the "16 Songs from Tokyo Beatniks" series, one can be transported back in time to a 1960s chanteuse bar & lounge nestled in a back alley somewhere in the back alleys of Tokyo. Sit back, relax, and stay tuned for more!
