Where you can find Good Music in Japan

Shibuya’s music bar “Tangle”

#MUSIC

Perfect place for a drink after a live show

It may have sounded like a very deep place, but Michael and Mio’s service is very casual and friendly. Because of this, people who don’t want to go straight home after a concert at Shibuya WWW often stop by for a drink and a bite to chew the excitement of the show. I also have foreign music lovers and musicians stop by during their visits to Japan, and sometimes I even have a chance to chat with them. I think it is the best music bar for a light drink at the counter.

Mio and Michael. Many customers come to see them.

One of them is Panda Bear & Sonic Boom’s “Reset” an album in which the members of Animal Collective collaborated with members of the Spacemen3, a famous psychedelic rock group from the 1980s. It’s nice to come across good rock albums like this that I may have missed out on.

We asked Michael and Mio to choose five albums they would recommend depending on their mood that day.
