<Muto's Recommended point of>
It is this book that is a big feature hailed as "Shibuya-kei of gene us" in "Japanese music" corner, but it is not in the music of this. Pithecanthropus erectus, Seibu Saison culture, YMO, geek, Kyoko Okazaki ... such as, so-called, '80s of Tokyo culture, is one book that has been discussed among them subculture. Later or it was the origin of the music scene, which was called the "Shibuya-kei", in that, what kind of people cage, what had led, or was the values ​​of "cool" was noted at that time, to the '90s find it may go path that led Japan culture. Is there in university lectures, but if you are interested even a little in pop culture, I think that it can read and enjoy.
