Japan, 2004, folk pop / singer-songwriter / contemporary folk

Shugo Tokumaru – Night Piece: On this, his debut album, Tokumaru Shugo is doing what he does best: play around innocently. I hear xylophones and something making cricket noises. There are some moments of him trying to make a harder edge, but he just can’t escape the wonderful world of folk pop he lives in. The lead track pulls you into his world at once.
Tokumaru Shugo is just too … twee for me.
