Read the Ghostlight Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi, We're Ghostlight which is a musical collective in which some members take part in. Most of us were born in Kyoto, but we live in Tokyo now. Tokyo is a very strange city (Please visit, everyone!) and we've tried to compose music that reflects Tokyo.
Our music is often categorized as 'Dreampop', 'Shoegaze' and 'Electropop'. So we'd like those who love that kind of music (and those who don't) to listen to our music.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Basically, I compose music which I want to listen to with a headphone in my bedroom. Common themes of the songs are night, dream, city, lonesomeness and so on. I liked guitar sounds such as alternative rock and shoegaze before I was aware of the attraction of synthesizers and now our music seems to emphasize more electronic sound.
The lyrics are written in Japanese. I feel curious to get opportunities for our music to be listened to by foreign listeners. Please let me know your impressions.
What´s new right now?
We are releasing a past album on cassette tape this spring. In contrast, our latest tunes will be released digitally on Spotify and Apple Music. Please check the news about us on our SNS. And if you have any interesting ideas, feel free to contact us ?
