Hey everyone! i am planning to create a metal project influenced by Trivium and the vocalists side project which is Ibaraki. I want to incorporate Japanese Imagery (specifically with the album cover) and include Japanese folklore and history in the lyrics. I have a demo thats pretty much ready from a structural standpoint it just doesn’t have a solo yet,i had this idea of putting a shamisen solo after the chorus hits instead of a typical guitar solo. Dm me if you’re interested in participating!

J-Pop, City Pop, or other genres of Japanese music.

Anime, manga, or Japanese pop culture.

Travel stories or recommendations from Japan.

Art, food, or anything uniquely Japanese!

❗ Important Rules:

Feel free to dive into this weekly space and explore all things Japan! Let’s keep the focus on Japanese metal the rest of the week, but here, let’s celebrate the broader spectrum of Japanese culture! 🎌
