The Strange Success of Lamp

- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Lamp is a Japanese indie/Shibuya-kei trio band formed in 2000, consisting of Taiyo Someya, Yusuke Nagai, and Kaori Sakakibara. The band has garnered a huge amount of success over the years, however recently their popularity has skyrocketed even more than they could have ever anticipated.
In this video, I will be looking at the history of Lamp and the real reasons behind their success.

Live love lamp
I need this on a shirt
I am so happy that lamp is getting the success. Found them during Covid. It's been a pleasure listening to them.
If i had to choose one band to listen to for the rest of my life it would be lamp
Wise choice!
Something that I find really interesting is the use of bossa nova by japanese bands. I'm brazilian, and here bossa nova was always something related to the higher classes of society, meaning that if you listen to, let's say, Vinícius de Morais, you're either rich or posing as a rich person. This makes the appreciation of the genre much more confined to a certain kind of people that are either rich or don't care about what others might think. But it doesn't seem to be the case in Japan, those guys are popularizing this kind of music to an extent that is not seen here, and are doing it making absolute art too, which is amazing for me, because even tho we created it, it is like a dying genre here in Brazil, so it is really heartwarming to see that other people in the world are continuing it, recently I discovered an american artists that also uses bossa nova, that is Laufey. Anyway, I just wanted to express my joy in this phenomenon.
P.S. Great video!
That’s actually really interesting insights thank you for sharing! It’s amazing how rich the history of bossa nova is and how a genre of music can be perceived so differently from different regions of the world, I’m glad they can carry on the beauty that is of bossa nova . And thank you so much I’m really glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
I love that lamp is getting more recognition than it was. I first heard Lamp, specifically Hisoyakani, in an edit 2 or 3 years ago. Since then, I've been repeating their discography 🙏🙏 they introduced me to SK
found them in sound cloud 2014,, its crazy never thought as a fan that year they would get so big! Im so proud of them!
Same. Soundcloud pre 2015 was peak. I am in awe of how many fans they have now
Hey yall! Firstly I wanna give a massive thank you for the support on the channel these couple weeks, it's great seeing so many shibuya-kei fans all come together ❤ so I can't wait to release more videos!
I hope you also enjoyed this video too and tell me which is your favorite lamp song! 👇🛋
ahh i’m seeing lamp this month n i’m so hype!! their success actually is insane, one of th most deserved in this hellscape of modern music imo
Yoo hypeeee enjoy your time seeing them live! ❤️
love lamp, their vocal harmonies and the way they swing into different unexpected keys is unlike any other band for me. Usually you can kind of gather what sound (or key) a song is gonna end up in but lamp always leaves me surprised with the new sounds they arrive at
What a great video man, in my perspective their popularity really did boom out of nowhere. I remember discovering them back in 2014 on a soundcloud playlist. And after following them on social media, over the years their growth really expanded more than before.
loved this video, lamp hugs my soul like no other band has ever done. When i listened to behind the moon shadow for the first time i was just in love
thank you for this one! our music tastes are so aligned. lamp has been a favourite for years.
there's also a lesson for creators I think, with lamp not giving much thought or importance to "numbers". I'm trying to unlearn and relearn this myself.
1. "numbers" - metrics through views, likes, streams, etc. are variable in reason, unpredictable, and uncontrollable. let your obsession over it go
2. remember the humans behind the "numbers" and then you realise just how much of an impact you've truly made. 5 views are 5 lovely people with thoughts and lives as rich as our own 🥹
sobering, lamps perspective on creativity and fame. they never let the "numbers" get to them, and so that sincerity in their music remained intact. ❤
Couldn’t have said it better! I totally agree with this!!! It’s always inspiring seeing and knowing that genuine creation in all forms from music, art etc. will always stay timeless, having fun doing what you love will always mean so much more than the numbers
LAMP IS SO FUCKING GOAATED
LAMP VIDEO YAY
I've been into their music for about 4 years now and their music genuinely heals my soul
thank you for making this video!
I cant tell you how much I love lamp music!! Like once in a lifetime trio
I first found them listening a lot of bossanova and city pop, then the algorithm happened...
My friend recommended this band to me like 3 years ago, and I've been obsessed with them ever since.. Love this video dude!
I've been loving your videos recently; it feels very fresh and thought out!
Thank you so much! ❤️
We also need a video about Nona Reeves discography, it is so complete you may ask what is the next step for them
I love nova reeves!
There was a upload of Genso, the full album, saw the thumbnail, listened to the whole album, and now im a fan
me too, I remember listening to it almost everyday for a month! forever grateful to the person who posted that
I first discovered lamp on the bus in my 1st year of HS on soundcloud (this was before tiktok around 2013-14). It kept me going through those tough years, I didnt have many friends. Its the kindve music that the music that takes you to another world. A world with no worries. Tbh Im kindve grateful for their popularity bc I lost that Soundcloud account and all those playlists. If it wasnt for tiktok I wouldve probably forgotten about them tbh. I also found it strange though how popular they are now, if I showed other kids this in Highschool I would've gotten bullied. The only thing that does annoy me is ppl call it Tiktok music.
I got into lamp in the year 2014. No one i knew was listening to them then. Ive checked in on lamp throughout the years but kind of fell off. Last night i got to meet them and watch them play live. I was floored by how many ppl were at the show. It was packed. I am certain i was the only millennial at the show.
I met a lot of cool ppl. Every new person i met i asked them how did they discover lamp. The majority of them said tik tok. I am still shocked by the crowd size.
Also its funny to note that the songs i consider to be certified bangers everyone else considered mid and vice versa. Thats what happens when 2 different generations discover lamp in 2 different eras
Wow thank you for sharing! You’re super lucky you got to see them live I hope the show was amazing!
It’s quite surreal actually, just goes to show how powerful of a platform TikTok can be getting a Japanese indie band like Lamp selling out shows in the US!
the first time i listened to Lamp (Gensou) i was blown away
it's like listening to music for the first time, it's so well crafted & pleasing
LOVE LAMP!
I love lamp ♥️ found out about them through lofi remixes and never found out the samples til years later and now I'm obsessed 😭
You're doing great work, introducing people with a lot of good music. I wonder if you consider making a video about Color Filter and/or sugar plant - both are Japanese bands with similar music style.
Thank you so glad you like the vids! ❤️ sugar plant is a band I’d love to cover for sure, I’ll also take a peep at color filter too, thank you for the suggestions my friend!
I find myself back at your channel 😅
I have suggestion for a deep dive on "Takeshi Nakatsuka"
He's only labeled as a Jpop artist but he takes on bunch of different styles which I love
but just like the Cymbals I found him randomly but I can't get the full picture because I don't speak any Japanese
Hopefully you think about it and thank you for the great content and your time
Much love I will definitely check him out! And many thanks for the support on the channel!! ❤️
Very tasteful video! I hope you keep it coming, talking more on obscure j bands)
Btw, what software/transition plugins did you use?
Thank you!! ❤️ I use davinci resolve every effect is stock plugins :)
Love Lamp and your vids!
Much love! 🫶
Great work as always, man. Keep it up!
Thank you!!
LAMP MENTIONED‼️‼️‼️ WHAT THE HELL IS A BAD SONG⁉️🔥⁉️🔥🔥
Hi I’m really enjoying the videos on your channel. As a J-Music lover myself, I recommend checking out the Band "Coaltar of the Deepers." They are the most unique band I’ve ever heard. Loved all the videos so far, keep going!
Thank you so much glad you enjoying the videos! ❤️ heard a couple of their songs, Coaltar of the deepers will be a really good band to cover actually thank you for the recommendations!
Could you talk about P5, Capsule or Denki Groove in a next video?
Hello from Russia:) . It's cool to realize that people from different parts of the world have the same musical preferences. Listen to Naoko Gushima, Pitcher56 and Fishmans. I think you'll like it. I can also recommend Soutaisei Riron, but it's a little different.
Cool videos man! Appreciate the work!! Always trying to find new music… do you know some grunge or alt rock catchy Japanese bands you could recommend me?
Hey thank you so much man! I'd defs recommend bands like tricot and uchi conbini maybe not as grunge (as I'm not too familiar with grunge) but they are defs leaning towards that altrock/mathrock! :)
@@orange_glider thank! Already knew about tricot! When I went to Japan I experienced the hardcore scene and it’s something else… but I didn’t have enough time to discover their alternative bands. I need to find their version of the "zoomergaze" movement, or at least old school wave of alt rock bands
I knew this channel would have some good stuff when I saw King of All Cosmos. Would like to hear your opinion on Spangle Call Lili Line and Sotaisei Riron.
Haha you know it thank you! I’ll definitely be give them a listen! always down to check out more j-music recommendations
