I have a couple of Japanese indie pop groups I’ve been following many years and which I really love. Gone are already such great groups as Girls4Ever<\/strong> and PREDIANNA<\/strong> but luckily Devil ANTHEM.<\/strong> and FAREWELL, MY L.u.v<\/strong> are still alive and kicking.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now it’s time to talk a little bit about that last one I mentioned.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So here is a brief introduction to the Japanese indie pop group named FAREWELL, MY L.u.v. Some of you might say that the name sounds familiar. Indeed “Farewell, My Lovely”<\/strong> is a famous novel written by Raymond Chandler<\/strong> (1940) and from that has been made some film adaptions over the years.<\/p>\n

FAREWELL, MY L.u.v was formed in 2015 in Nagoya and since then there has been several line-up changes. Today group has three members: Ritsuko Kodama<\/strong> (13), Anzu Sugiura<\/strong> (15) and Sakiko Kodama<\/strong> (16). Sakiko is Ritsuko’s older sister and made some time ago comeback to the group.<\/p>\n

Sakiko graduated from FAREWELL, MY L.u.v in the end of 2015 and was in Hello! Pro Kenshuusei<\/strong> from 2016 to 2019.<\/p>\n

During all it’s active years FAREWELL, MY L.u.v’s lineup has had basically two or three members. Latest graduation happened on March 24. 2019 when Minami Yamazoe<\/strong> had her graduation concert. Other earlier graduated girl is Nanaka Kudo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

FAREWELL, MY L.u.v works under the Nagoya based artist agency and record label Idol Bunch<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what about the music of FAREWELL, MY L.u.v then? It’s a delicious cocktail of many musical genres put together. From there you can taste for example flavours of dance hall, pop, hiphop, techno and reggae. All that presented to us with a wonderful laid-back way. I just love that kind of style.<\/p>\n
