Nagisa Ni Te 渚にて Meaning "on The Beach" Is A Psychedelic Pop / Folk Pop Duo From Osaka Japan. Shinji Shibayama Was Part Of Psych Bands Idiot O'Clock And Hallelujahs In The 1980s Then Founded Org Records Which He Still Runs And Which Has Released Other Important Artists Maher Shalal Hash Baz And Naoki Zushi. It Was Tori Kudo Of Maher Shalal Hash Baz That Helped With Nagisa Ni Te's First Album "On The Love Beach".
Tori Kudo Actually Described Nagisa Ni Te Very Well Like "Nagisa Ni Te's Naked Progressive Rock-Based Worldly Songs Which Are Sung Not So Much Deliberately As Seriously On Their Love Beach Now Fill A Blank Somewhere Between Underground Hi-Fi And Overground Lo-Fi". Shinji's Girlfriend Masako Takeda Is Now A Permanent Member Of Nagisa Ni Te And They Have Gone On To Record More Albums The True Sun The True World Feel And Their Recent Release The Same As A Flower.
The Beautiful Natural Colours Of Nagisa Ni Te's Album Covers Are A Nice Representation Of The Music Contained Inside Entrancing Slow Minimal Songs About Experiencing Nature And About Shinji And Masako's Developing Relationship. Their Innocent Unaffectedness Lets Them Get Away With This Sentimentalism Without Sounding Pretentious. Their Music Is Generally Quite Naked Just Slow Strumming Of An Acoustic Guitar And Slightly Out-Of-Tune Male And Female Vocals Sung In Japanese But They Show Their Influences They're Often Compared With Early Neil Young Middle-Era Pink Floyd Tim Hardin Tim Buckley Velvet Underground Etc With Occasional Guitar And Keyboard Freak-Outs Layered Vocals Eerie Guitar Solos And Long Drawn-Out Songs. read less
