Music spotlight: Lamp in Terren

こんにちは　みんな！ 「Hello Everyone!」  Discovered this band in the last six months, and find their sound quite addicting to binge listen to. Suppose the sound musically can be somewhat similar to maybe a mix between ONE OK ROCK, and Asian King-Fu Generation, also the energy of the songs seem to fluctuate between these two bands as well. However, that is not to say that they do not have their own sound which thankfully not the case, an it is appreciated. The band was formed in 2006, but only recently hit the mainstream Japanese music scene last year. The music flows nicely and works well as its own entity but it is together with the lyrics and the vocal delivery that makes the music stand out.

     The band consists of four members, Kawaguchi Daiki・川口 大喜 on the drums、Matsumoto Masaru・松本 大 as the  vocalist & the guitar、Oya Shintaro・大屋 真太郎 on guitar、and Nakahara Takehito 中原 健仁  to round it out on the bass. The band started in high school back in 2006, the drummer, Oya left the band in 2011, so for a while they were a 3 piece band. In 2012 they came to the decision to name themselves Lamp in Terren using the Latin word for Earth, and the band coined the term "Light of the world". They signed with A Sketch label in Japan in 2015, Oya returned to the band in October of that year, and since the release of their album under the new label have been doing quite well for themselves especially with the song "Void".  

     Songs that will give you a good idea of the kind of music they play are twofold; 緑閃光・Ryokusenkō 「Green Flash」, which is a slower, more somber affair, but the delivery of the music and lyrics make is something you will want to put on repeat. The other song is キャラバン・Kyaraban 「Caravan」which has a much more energetic delivery musically, lyrically, and vocally, but you can still tell that the same amount of energy went into both songs. Here is to hoping that they stay around for a while yet, because I feel that the music they make can only get better with time. Like usual, if you are interested in finding out more about them, or listening to their music, I will leave all pertinent links at the bottom.
