Listen: Hakushi Hasegawa – “Mouth Flash (Kuchinohanabi)” [2023]

a2402301325_10

Japanese musician Hakushi Hasegawa has recently signed to Brainfeeder Records and has dropped this mind-twister of a track, “Mouth Flash (Kuchinohanabi)” that comes with an accompanying insane visual, which you can watch below.

Enter this track into the canon of expertly done, maximalistic pop that Japanese musicians seem to excel at. Cluttered with booming percussion, Hasegawa navigates a rocket-fueled ride through alternate dimensions, even emulating a train whistle at one point. My immediate comparison point was the music used in Satoshi Kon creations, like the parade scene in Paprika or the opening theme of Paranoia Agent, two iconic music moments in anime, in my opinion. If you’re familiar with those scenes, by that alone I feel like you should check this out.

Definitely going to be looking out for more music from Hasegawa soon! They’ve made more tunes in the past that I still need to check out, but cool of Brainfeeder to give this person some shine on their label.
