Let’s say you’re a big fan of those J-pop anime intro/outros and you have this desire to launch a singing career based off of that niche. And I don’t mean use anime as a career springboard either; all you want to do is sing songs appropriate for anime intros/outros.
Enter Tekumaku Junction, a duo which seeks to do just that. Their debut album, The Melancholy of Sokura is for an anime titled Senatorekku no Tate. But before you actually head to any of the various anime databases out there to look it up and see what it’s about, don’t. The anime doesn’t exist. It’s all made up. A fiction, in more ways than one. How’s that for a background story?
With such a story in tow, there’s no way I could let this pass. Tekumaku Junction, who auditioned as the Showa Kayo Duo managed to survive a rigorous process and so, debut with this single. It’s promising to say the least, and if you’re curious to see what they have to offer, read on after the jump! (more…)
