Ok, time to move to the music of the island groove of Kyushu, where music festivals, music communities, and an abundance of nature is always near by, as well as, the influences provided by fashion, art, and the close distance to the rest of Asia. This playlist, that showcases talents from Fukuoka and the rest Kyushu, has captured the sounds of the region, can be chilly and peaceful at times, and edgy and emotional in others. From bands of the new generations to hip-hop crews representing their homeland, from legendary divas known all throughout Japan to the “Mentai Rock” sounds rooted in the region, the playlist compiles these sounds to celebrate the opening of Apple Fukuoka, in the midst of the passionate and vibrant city. The store will be located in “Tenjin”, which is really a “heaven (=ten)” for music, and where anyone can feel the “god (=jin)” of music.
