Doki Doki Radio Live Vol.1: Shibuya Kei

In this special episode of the Japan 2.0 podcast, David and Matt get behind the decks and spin some of their favorite Shibuya Kei from their vinyl collections. Between their sets they talk about their history with the genre, why Shibuya Kei compilations are worth picking up, colored vinyl, and much more. Because this episode was recorded live, it has a few audio hiccups during the talking segments, but, if you are interested in learning more about the Shibuya Kei genre or are curious to hear some of David’s and Matt’s favorite songs, then this is an episode that can’t be missed.
