如果
当你发现你
与某种“社会准则”
格格不入
你会怎么办?
...
让我们先来看看
CHAI 的选择
她们所遇到的难题
来自“可爱”:
“妈妈以前帮我们拍照,都会让把我们眼睛再张开一点,可我们明明已经张很开了...我知道,她很担心自己的孩子被人说是丑女。”
“在日本社会,可爱的人是最受欢迎的,可爱的东西是最时髦的,可爱是标准,其他一切都是丑陋的,这对我影响很大,因为我不觉得自己是那个标准的一部分,人们会被“可爱”这个词伤害——如果你不适合这个词,就会很烦恼。”
然而,面对这种困境,
CHAI 乐队的选择是——
让狭义的“可爱”
去死吧!
“雀斑是脸上的一道银河”
“单眼皮的眼神很酷很锐意”
“飞机场的身体很平坦舒服”
“毛发很多是性感的象征”
…
那些所有狭义的不可爱,换种角度来看,明明都很可爱呀!这就是日本女子乐队 CHAI 想表达的。
在最初的作品里,她们结合朋克、嘻哈、电子以及一点点日本流行的元素,向世界宣告了属于她们的可爱,包容、多彩、打破束缚的“NEO KAWAII”。
然而,让她们脱颖而出的不只有冲破传统观念的宣誓,她们的音乐同样冲击力十足,正如在 NPR 节目下边热门评论所说的那样:
brennanchris252(三年前):
“她们的节奏太棒了,如果有机会,我甚至愿意花钱去看只有贝斯手和鼓手的演出。”
Daniel Connor(三年前):
“这支乐队的能量奇怪到让我不适,但不得不说我同时非常享受其中。”
十足的冲击力让 CHAI 在国际舞台异军突起,2018年她们登上了 SXSW 音乐节舞台,并完成世界巡演。
同年年末,Pitchfork 将她们的作品选入年度最佳专辑榜单,成为榜单中唯一的亚洲艺人,与Arctic Monkeys、Beach House、Cat Power 等艺人同列。
在接下来的时间里,CHAI 并没有将自己的音乐局限在“冲击力”上,2021年,她们创作出了充满 R&B 韵味的单曲“Maybe Chocolate Chips”,歌曲的主旨是“当人们把痣想象成巧克力,会不会爱上它们”。
这首歌也是 CHAI 首次与别的音乐人合作演唱的歌曲,来自芝加哥的说唱歌手 Ric Wilson,CHAI 曾在2019年的 Pitchfork 音乐节台下观看过后者的演出。
然后,在去年,当乐队成员们意识到,她们可能一直都在努力让别人觉得她们很有趣后,便创作了单曲“Nobody Knows We Are Fun”,这次,CHAI 抛弃了以往充满色彩、明亮的风格,转向了偏暗但充满律动的电子舞曲。2023年,乐队作为最有代表性的新声代之一,受邀参加因疫情停办四年重新举办的亚洲指标性音乐节Clockenflap,并在现场收到热烈欢迎。
“仅仅制作响亮的摇滚音乐和表演夸张的音乐会并不能证明任何事情,你天生就是你,在你自己的世界里自然地表达你自己——世界会被你吸引。”
在不断的自我突破中,CHAI 越走越远,但每一次的蜕变都让身为听众的我们感到惊喜,狭义的“可爱”也早在她们一次又一次绝妙演出的蹦跳中被踩下地底。
我们所需要做的,就只是,去目睹她们将继续带来怎样的精彩。
就像大家在NPR节目下评论的那样:
Ruth Chee(三年前):
“我昨天刚刚在 Iceland Airwaves 观看了他们的现场表演,老实说,那是音乐节上最好的表演之一,因为他们带来了高能量——与大多是轻声细语和圆润丝滑的冰岛音乐形成鲜明对比。她们的演出让我疯狂——现场表演很棒,充满活力(不止于此!)”
你永远可以对Chai的现场充满期待
赶快来到现场,和我们一起感受Chai对可爱的另类诠释!

About CHAI
Take a 4-piece band comprised of miracle twins MANA and KANA combined with irresistibly strong rhythmic sounds from YUUKI and YUNA, who coined themselves “NEO” or New Excite Onna Band, and you’ll only get CHAI.
Released in 2017, CHAI’s 1st album 「PINK」 dominated various music charts subsequently causing the band to be one of the most praised and raved about artists both within and outside of the music industry. In 2018, one of Japan’s most widely known entertainment platforms’, Nippon TV, ranked CHAI #1 for their music-based series Buzz Rhythm 02’s “Korewa Buzzuru Zo” show while also taking the #10 spot on one of Japan’s annual music award rankings known as the “CD Shop Awards”!
In the same year, CHAI also released their 3rd EP titled, “WAGAMA-MANIA” which took the #1 spot on Apple Music/iTunes’ Alternative Chart.
Creating their stamp overseas, CHAI signed a deal with US-based indie label Burger Records in February of 2018 and then in August with UK indie label Heavenly Recordings. Having completed 4 successful tours throughout the United States, with performances both as the headliner and opening act in Europe, come October CHAI will embark on their 13-city Europe Tour across the United Kingdom which includes performances in Amsterdam, Paris, and Benidorm.
On February 13th, 2019, CHAI released their 2nd album, 「PUNK」, a follow up to 「PINK」, which featured various TV series’ tie-ups as well as many hit singles including “CHOOSE GO!”, “Fashionista”, “GREAT JOB”, and more!
CHAI successfully completed their US Tour in March of 2019, a Europe Tour in May, and their “CHAI JAPAN TOUR 2019 PINKISH PUNK PUN PUN PUN TOUR” in June performing across 8 cities in Japan, ultimately accomplishing their 1st official worldwide tour!
Without a doubt, nothing could have impacted you more in the 21st century than this “NEOkawaii” band, CHAI!
