My Take
I'll be honest, the first time Hisako Tabuchi's guitar hit me I just sat there grinning at how gloriously loud and unhinged it was. She's a Fukuoka kid, born in '75, which means by 2024 she's a genuine veteran of the Japanese rock scene, and yet the sound she throws out still has teeth. What I love is the push and pull: one second she's slashing out this jagged, distorted wall of noise, the next she drops a melody so wistful it almost catches in your throat. No flashy stage name, no gimmicks, just her real name and a guitar doing all the talking. She's not the type to chatter, but the moment she plants her feet and starts playing she owns the whole room. A quiet powerhouse, basically, and I hope she keeps making that beautiful racket for decades.
