Oyasumi Hologram and Kommune Discuss Independence in Kai-You Interview
The interview frames independence not as a lack of label support but as a deliberate choice to control one's own creative and promotional work, using TuneCore's MEDIA NETWORK platform to reach media directly.
Reporting from 1 sources: KAI-YOU.
Kai-You's seventh MEDIA NETWORK feature profiles Oyasumi Hologram and Kommune, two independent electronic duos rooted in Tokyo's live house scene. The artists discuss their origins in underground idol and club scenes, their genre-fluid sound, and the autonomy of choosing to work outside major labels.
Oyasumi Hologram formed in 2014 from the underground idol scene, evolving into a duo of Kanamiru and Ogawa Koichi who handle art direction, recording, and composition themselves. Their sound draws on dance music, alternative, and hip-hop, with lyrics that create a miniature garden world. Kommune, a Tokyo-based duo of meyumo and Konfig, deconstructs and reconstructs genres into fluid, heavy electronic music. Both groups have built followings in Tokyo's live house circuit without major label backing. The interview is part of TuneCore Japan's MEDIA NETWORK project, which lets independent artists pitch songs directly to media outlets.
