Lamp
Sun-dappled Japanese pop that feels like a faded photograph. Intricate jazz harmonies meet breathy vocals for a timeless, melancholic afternoon glow.

Formed in 2000, the Japanese indie pop trio Lamp consists of Taiyo Someya, Yusuke Nagai, and Kaori Sakakibara. Drawing inspiration from 1960s Western music, the group blends jazz pop, Shibuya-kei, and bossa nova influences. Following their 2003 debut, the band spent years performing across Asia. Their international profile expanded significantly in 2021 after their track "Yume Utsutsu" gained widespread popularity through viral exposure on TikTok, introducing their distinct city pop sound to a global audience.
