Fashion and music

If there's one thing I think many have been made aware of by Lady Gaga
It's that music and fashion go hand in hand
Though, in fairness it shouldn't have taken Gaga for you to realise this

Growing up I was heavily into alternative styles and it seemed each had it's "own" music
as I've got older, my music taste has genuinelly just exploded and I listen to almost every genre
Though it does leave me wondering... what is the music of Gal?

Firstly, 渋谷系 (Shibuya kei) springs to mind
Being that Shibuya is the meccha for Gal, it seems rather obvious
This genre is dominated by Yasutaka Nakata, the owner of record label Contemode
and he is associated with almost all it's acts; Capsule, Coltemonikha, MEG, Perfume, etc..

Secondly, there's a particular artisit. Her name is JASMINE
Poster from her first tour of Zepp arena's
She debuted her first single "Sad to say" last year, fortunately when myself and Bloomzy were in Japan
and I am so glad Bloomzy noticed her song being played because JASMINE has since grown to be one of my favourite artist's
She has a hip hop, R&B style and has only just released her debut album "GOLD"

So, is this the music of Gal?
I still don't really know, what are your opinions?
Perhaps Gal doesn't particulary own a specific music scene at all...
