Take it from the totally unbiased opinion of a guy who runs his own Japanese Music podcast: There’s a lot of great music on this episode. Just for starters, Boom Boom Satellites saw fit to descend from their electro-rock Shangri-La and present we mortals with a new album. We’ll hear from that. Speaking of rock, did you hear Babymetal teamed up with Dragonforce? We’ll hear from that too. And for those of you heading to Austin in March for SXSW, we’ll hear a few tracks from the Japanese artists performing at South By.

As I mentioned, there’s a lot more Banvox to check out if you dig the song I picked for this episode. Check out his other work on his Soundcloud page.
