"Yukari Fresh":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukari_Fresh is yet another Shibuya-Kei favorite from Japan. _New Years Fresh_ was released in 1999 on the Escalator label. Yukari has a lot of energy and makes some really strange electronic pop. She has the necessary cuteness factor for this genre but the words on some of her songs are downright bizarre. I think this album is an excellent starting point for her. Most of the tracks are very short interstitials but there's enough that are above 2 minutes. It's a fun and wacky ride. A bit like Takako Minekawa but a little weirder and the music is a bit more cartoonish. Check her out if you get the chance.

Seems like a lot of stuff off of "Rallye":http://www.panachesounds.com/rallyeshop.htm is pretty hip right now. "Marxy":http://www.pliink.com/mt/marxy/ always seems to know what's up too. It's so hard to tell what to get as so much gets published in Japan. I try to get what I can when I can. I've got a lot of late 90's early 00's Shibuya-Kei. Japanese music is so expensive to order here. Sayonara changling chan!!!!

Even if you did know what she was saying I don't think it would still make sense. Her lyrics are so ridiculous and random. Glad you like Yukari. She's got some serious groove for being so cartoonish.

It's good stuff soulrocket. If you come across Yukari Rotten let me know how it sounds. I've got at least 5 albums/eps by her and I love em all.
