abasio Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I was in Japan from 97-01. Fuck it was magic back then , it would be interesteing to see what's its like now but i wouldn't hold my breath.I'm still here and the scene has definitely degraded in the last few years. Even 5 years ago it was still really good but the number of parties is declining, moving out of the capital and more difficult to find decent ones. Some of the festival events though are still really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psydmt Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think the scene had a lot to do with the fact that musshies were legal-when they were made illegal things changed (2001 ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psytones Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Free the mushies so people will make more strange mosakk!! Yamabikay is Japanese, these days he (one former member) makes pretty decent techno house stuff. I used to think that Japanese artists would be freaky people making more experimental music allà Suomi/Oozie (hence my love towards Yamabikaya). But I was dissepointed as I didn't find many sounds that was like my fantasy about Japanese music. Later when I started to enjoy darker elements like the sounds from Russia, I discovered this album, and it's really good. So, I got nothing to add to this thread, just wanted to mention this.

Pandemonium Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well as some of you may know I once lived in Japan for 6 years and have since moved back to my home country of the U.S. I have been back there for a year. Well now I am on a 2 week vacation (holiday) in Japan and it has gotten worse. I hate to be negative, but the once beloved Quintrix in Shibuya has closed its doors. I couldnt beleive it. Now there is really nowhere to even get flyers to parties in Tokyo minus this one small shop called psychedelic garden in the Shinjuku ward, and their selections are very limited. How can the biggest city in the world house only one small psy shop? And I dont want to hear because of the economy. Im just so disappointed and it makes me not really want to come back to Japan again. Sure there are still beutiful women and great beer here, but thats not enough for me, My magical memories of Japan are only in my mind. But at least I have those now, while on the other hand as late as we may be. Psy has come a long way in America and is continually growing slowly but surely in the right way. I think the problem with Japan is that they commercialize everything entirely way to quickly thus watering the scene down completely. The same thing happened to the regular trance scene some time ago. I even went out to Roppongi and they had some decent progressive spinning at one bar, but 85% of all the clubs and bars were spinning rap, hiphop, and just pop music and it disgusted me. Customers dancing on the tables like they were hot. I felt like an alien there. I was thinking to myself am I the only one that thinks this is Pure crap? I guess I will just stick to the internet for the good parties like Labyrinth or Brainbusters. But I still remember a time where there would be so many good artists and parties here every weekend and it was pure bliss. I guess that all things have to change and sometimes that change isnt for the good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
