Japanese Gothic Hiphop: Shinku






Also know as “Deep Rose”, for the Anglophone world.
This is some scary stuff, although it still manages to be sexy. Neither Meyou or I dabble in hallucinogenics and we are both pretty happy people so I really don’t know where this dark, ominous, hip-hop gothic dirge came from. The Japanese language rapping is virtuoso caliber, with a subtle vocal performance that is deceptively sweet in its multi-layered complexity. This was on the first Meyou CD released in 2002 on RNC Japan, LTD. (Catalog YRCT – 21004)
