I just have a tough time understanding all of the techno/EDM genres. I also read that Vaporwave/Chillwave is not just a musical genre but also some sort of fashion statement.

It's quite refreshing, and I enjoyed it more than I had expected. I saw the conversation too... and I got lost at Chillwave - Vaporwave already raised a couple of question marks. Didn't know that instrumental music could be classified into so many subgenres. But as for the other genres, I'm mostly familiar with them by now... although I still don't think I'll be able to tell if a song is City Pop or New Music.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-7078264333870520442015-04-06T10:50:24.621-04:002015-04-06T10:50:24.621-04:00Hi Noelle.

They're totally OK.<br /><br />Well, I'd say that that entire blog is about niche music, so there is City Pop, New Music, anime music, even dodonpa (Mari Watanabe), etc. Just in recent days, one of the commenters, Ryan Miller, and I were talking about this new trend called Vaporwave, which is a partial resurrection of the Japanese Resort Pop of the 80s (check out the latest Toshiki Kadomatsu article on "Sea Line" for the conversation at the bottom).J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-2878595119874065952015-04-06T01:19:48.029-04:002015-04-06T01:19:48.029-04:00Hi J-Canuck.

And I take it that your friends are okay with the Enka and Mood Kayo articles I've written? <br /><br />Besides Enka and Mood Kayo, what other niche music have you been writing about?Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-5269555081089506492015-04-05T13:54:55.025-04:002015-04-05T13:54:55.025-04:00Happy Easter to you, too, Noelle.

A bit different from the traditional ham or turkey, but that's fine with me.<br /><br />Thanks very kindly for telling us about your love for Mae-Kiyo. I would personally love to hear his renditions of some of the standards from folks like Presley and Little Eva, especially The King's "Heartbreak Hotel". That would be worth the entire price of the album itself.<br /><br />To be honest, I met up with a few friends here in Toronto who have read the blog from time to time, and they were quite impressed that "I" was willing to put up a lot of the enka/Mood Kayo articles. However, when I corrected them on who the real writer was, they also did some double takes. :)<br /><br />As for your question on whether your like for enka and Mood Kayo is weird...well, I've managed to plug away for three years blogging about some very niche music and meet some fun fellow fans along the way as well. It's been a good run. Not weird at all.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
