Indie music in Japan

On this page we would like to gather some information for people interested in the independent music scene of Osaka (and beyond... but anyway limited to Japan). We discovered this scene almost by chance on January 2011, and it has fascinated us ever since!
We decided to switch to English here in order to try to broaden the spectrum of potential readers looking for some first-hand information on underground indie bands in Japan.

Warning: this page is going to be a continuous work in progress...


Our posts about indie (and not-so-indie-anymore) Japanese music
