OCTO Recommended Album: Genie Star (ジェニースター) Ryon Morrin (Hokkaido) | Release Date: September 1, 2021
Enon Kawatani is relentless. An endlessly creative musician and songwriter, he’s frequently forming new musical projects and composes almost all of the songs himself; an impressive feat for someone with five different bands. Kawatani is most well known for his work with romantic rockers Indigo la End and genrebending masters Gesu no Kiwami Otome. He’s also in the studio writing and producing Dadaray’s brand of piano-pop. Add to that Ichikoro, his collaboration with Japan’s living guitar god Ichika Nito, and he shows no signs of slowing down. Genie High, another one of Kawatani’s many projects, just released their new album, Genie Star (ジェニース ター). It’s a unique supergroup featuring Ikkyu Nakajima 30 |
