Pitcher56 · 2008

her abiding memory

An unexpected and unknown embodiment of Shibuya-kei.

Pitcher56 is a Japanese Shibuya-kei band. All three members were medical school students at the time of release, and are currently doctors. There is almost no other information on them. Barely any physical releases. No live performances. As with most bands, music is the only thing they have left behind, bar a faint scent of nostalgia.

The mix and mastering isn’t perfect. Raw recordings capturing even swallowing and saliva noises. Would I be weird for appreciating this? Film capturing those days raw stimulates nostalgia like spice.. old spice or whatever.

1.2.3!

A very powerful jingle.

Humming Word

Super airy/lispy vocals

Dewy Roses

Woman 〜Wの悲劇より〜

すじをえがく

A song that declares goodbye.

Another Season

Jump Out From The Bed

Love Letter -Original Version-

サヨナラマタイツカ

A confession to make: I discovered this album through the Weezer subreddit on a post about albums that use the same typeface as Weezer does.

we can check in on 森田洋之 through Note. Guy still seems interested in the band he was in. They haven’t disbanded, so anything is possible. https://www.reddit.com/r/pitcher56/comments/1jg9rdw ???
