by Contemporary Japanese music — or even the stuff from the not-all-that-distant past! — features many artists creating some of the most exciting songs going, from burgeoning rappers putting their spin on the genre to electronic creators pushing down sonic boundaries. It isn’t always easy to get familiar with them, though, thanks to a combination of label-born internet shyness that cuts them off from potential fans alongside the general noise of daily life on the internet.  In this feature, OTAQUEST aims to help introduce some of Japan’s best musicians to the world.

by If you’ve been following us on Twitch for a while, no doubt you’ve seen us promoting HOME, SWEET HOME -Tokyo’s No.1 Yuru Anime Song Party- more than a few times. It’s an event based in the Tokyo neighborhood of Koenji, an often overlooked area when it comes to people traveling to Japan but one that’s worth checking out for its rich subculture presence. The party’s claim of “No.1 Yuru Anime Song Party” lies in the nature of the event, one that is far more laid back all around, making for the perfect environment to chill out on a Saturday and enjoy some good tunes.

by When people think of great sports anime series, we have a tendency to think of boys sports. Slam Dunk. Haikyu!! Diamond no Ace. Partially this is because sports anime is largely an extension of shonen anime, and also because of gender bias. And yet, think of all the great female athletes out there, from Serena Williams and Mia Hamm to Naomi Osaka.
