Since her debut in 2022, Sakura Mizushima has been the beating heart of Actwres girl’Z. Just a few days ago, Mizushima announced she would be graduating from the promotion at the end of the year and begin freelancing as a professional wrestler in 2027. teppen.life/sakura-mizus...

In August, Riko Niikawa announced she would no longer release music under her "Yuusari" alias. A big leap for an artist, akin to removing a protective shell, but for Niikawa, it felt liberating. Niikawa's first single since the change is "Your Back Won't Melt". teppen.life/riko-niikawa...

Been DMing somebody about Japanese weirdo music venues & their spirtual wrestling equivalents. Polaris & Soup are Korakuen & Face. Oriental Force is Shinkiba. Perhaps MoguMogu is Green Hall, Bar Isshee is IR Dojo & Nanahari is Post Di Amistad?
Our September playlist is up, featuring your typical, sensical combination of artists like Ålborg, Kaede Miyano, Uchudan, John Prine, Bill Wurtz, Clutch, and Sayuri Namba? wow yeah thats a teppen playlist for sure teppen.life/teppens-sept...
In December, I took a train from Fujisawa to catch Nagisa Murakami & Maya Akechi perform at a small book/music shop in Itõ City, Shizuoka. Tsugumi is an extension of the shop owner Naho, & her interests. Here’s a chat with the shop owner, Naho. teppen.life/a-sanctuary-...

Rick here, I just took the time to add zeros to the beginning of the numbers to all the past games we did on the website so they actually show up in order. While doing this I remembered we had zero contributions for a lot of games... (1/2)
so this is rich's best work I adore this so so so so so so much.

Working on some projects & this is a favorite photo of mine. It reminds of my 80s skating parties from grade school when everyone slow skated to Tiffany. Momose won the Miss iD2020 creative genius award. They participated alongside Aya of the Cosmic Angels. Tam Nakano was a Miss iD2019. small 🌎
That’s how ya end a video series. Those AgZ shows are probably gonna stay on the shelf forever at this point.

Kinoko Teikoku's incredibly influential first four records are being pressed to vinyl for the first time. Records whose DNA you can hear in every Teppen playlist. The first three, especially, are among my all time favorites. So I rambled. teppen.life/kinoko-teiko...
My favorite thing about my recent Japan trips is wandering into a venue and catching some music - thankfully I'll just have to drive like 13 hours rather than sit on a plane for... 13 hours. Srsly tho. Stoked for NMFT and u should check out my preview of the tour: teppen.life/tokyo-comes-...
Tokyo comes to Canada: Next Music from Tokyo vol 18 Preview – Teppen!
My favorite thing to do on any of my trips to Japan is to check out shows in various parts of the country. Shimokitazawa, Koenji, Shibuya, Shinjuku, even Yokohama and beyond (heck, Teppen was officially launched after a night at Yokohama B.B.STREET). Japan, as a whole, has vibrant and diverse music scene with great music to be heard live every night. Replicating those vibes overseas is difficult. We’ve covered stuff like Japanese wrestling shows in the US and always felt they fell quite short of replicating the Japanese experience, which shows that even with a big budget, it’s hard to get everything right.

Days 3 and 4 of the Great South Bay Music Festival are among the best single-days of the festival's history. Gov't Mule, Bruce Hornsby, My Morning Jacket all rocked the main stage, while plenty of local acts, including The Astral Party could be seen around the fest. teppen.life/2026-great-s...
Thanks to @cerysmatthews.bsky.social for having Cities and Memory on her BBC 6music show this weekend - it was great to chat about disappearing sounds and the relationships between sound and memory, and spin a few favourite tunes. Listen again here (from c. 1hr in): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

2LDK (2003) The stress of being an actress & the pressures of society break two roommates going for the same part. A dark comedy that takes place in one apartment with the tension rising steadily. Directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi & is part of the Duel Project. Just over an hour & is pretty darn good.
Our June 2026 playlist is up now! 50+ tracks from smaller artists, emerging artists, and whatever "Weezer" is. Some AOTY contenders from Trooper Salute and Bellows, incredible new stuff from Hammer Head Shark. An Anime OST from Manami Kakudo and so much more!!! teppen.life/teppens-june...
