Biography
In 2015, Aoi Shibata and Masato Nishiyama went to a secondhand shop together with a ¥10,000 note in their pocket and bought themselves the best they could afford with it: cheap, second hand synthesizers from the 90s. Thus, the journey of the analog synthesizer duo Pasocom Music Club (パソコン音楽クラブ) had begun. Fast-forward to 2020 and the duo has transformed the synthesizer music landscape in Japan beyond the legacy of Yellow Magic Orchestra. They released two albums, DREAM WALK, Night Flow and an EP, PARK CITY, from Maltine Records (described by Pitchfork as one of the top 10 important Japanese internet music labels in 2014), and were even commissioned to make the end-credits tune for Pokemon.
