Description
Cornelius's Fantasma tells the story of a pivotal moment in Japanese popular music history. In the early 1990s, Keigo Oyamada's indie band Flipper's Guitar was at the forefront of the Shibuya-kei movement, which would later influence his work as Cornelius.
The third album under the Cornelius name, Fantasma (1997), played a significant role in introducing J-pop to Western music fans and cementing Oyamada's reputation as one of Japan's most respected figures in the music industry. This book explores the emergence of Fantasma from the Shibuya-kei scene and its lasting impact on Japanese popular music today.
As part of the 33 1/3 Global series, this volume brings a new perspective to music history, focusing on the global reach and influence of popular music from around the world.
