Keigo Oyamada sees U.S. 'Fantasma' tour as a good warm-up to new Cornelius material
Hikaru Utada's "First Love" may have sold more copies, but it's hard to think of a Japanese album from the 1990s that has endured like "Fantasma." Keigo Oyamada was 28 years old when he released his third full-length as Cornelius in 1997: a dense collage of polychromatic meta-pop, full of improbable genre collisions and loving nods to its creator's wide-ranging record collection.

'Moriyamachu Driving School': Two teens behind the wheel of life
Learning to drive is a rite of passage that more Japanese men appear to be avoiding: The number of male drivers has been falling every year since 2009. The number of women drivers, by contrast, has been rising. Reasons for the drop include the decline of the car as a male status symbol. Back in the day, young bucks would dream of picking up girls with their snazzy new sportster; now they're more inclined to see owning a car as a hassle that begins with the lengthy, expensive process of getting a license.

'Purachina Deta (Platinum Data)'
Why are so many Japanese sci-fi thrillers so sure our near-future rulers will try to tyrannize us, dehumanize us or, as in "Batoru Rowaiaru (Battle Royale)," make us slaughter each other, even when our only crime is possessing raging adolescent hormones? Given what I've seen of Tokyo's Kabutocho financial district these past few decades I'm less afraid of the ruthless than the clueless.
