Yokohama, Tokyo, Japan (1992 – present)
Luminous Orange ルミナスオレンジ is a Japanese indie rock band formed in Yokohama in 1992 by Rie Takeuchi. Inspired by artists such as Pale Saints, My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth, Luminous Orange also incorporates some electronic influences in their music. Although Takeuchi is the solo remaining original member of the band, various influential musicians have collaborated with the band, such as NUMBER GIRL drummer Ahito Inazawa, Kobayashi Ai of toddle, and Ian Masters of Pale Saints.
Luminous Orange has released 6 albums, 1 mini album, 1 maxi-single & 7inch from various labels (include Cornelius’ Trattoria and Ian Masters’ Friendly Science Enregisterments in the UK). Luminous Orange has performed overseas at the South by Southwest music festival in Texas, and the band has enjoyed critical acclaim from shibuya-kei/shinjuku-alternative/shoegaze-electronica folks from around the world.

Although Drop You Vivid Colours (2005) is definitely a milestone for Japanese shoegazing, I feel like their debut album, Vivid Short Trip (1996), has been unfairly underrated. As far as dream pop/shoegazing goes, it is a very convincing debut album that, being grounded in the sounds of A.R. Kane, Cocteau Twins, and friends while maintaining a very exotic flavor, sounds nothing like the rest of their output. Tracks like Summer Brushes the View, Snow Leopard, Gertrude, and December Sail are true dream pop gems.
