フシチョーGROUP_サンアクア太田大泉店 by フシチョーGROUP(DÉ DÉ MOUSE & Sean Oshima)
DÉ DÉ MOUSE and singer-songwriter/track maker Sean Oshima have once again surprise-released the 24-track second album from their fictional shopping center BGM excavation project “FUSHICHO GROUP,” titled FUSHICHO GROUP Sun Aqua Ota Oizumi_!
The now-forgotten fictional corporate group “FUSHICHO GROUP” returns in this installment, where the duo salvage cassette tapes of background music from “Sun Aqua Ota Oizumi,” a combined pool facility and shopping center in Oizumi, Ora District, Gunma Prefecture. According to the project’s setting, this complex was operated by FUSHICHO GROUP during the height of Japan’s bubble economy in 1989, only to shut down a mere three years later.
Proceeding under the premise that the track titles written on the cassette labels have been uploaded as-is, FUSHICHO GROUP Sun Aqua Ota Oizumi_ expands on the shopping mall BGM–like fusion and city pop atmosphere of the previous release “Feni.” Deeply reverberating drone, ambient, and new age textures—evoking sounds endlessly echoing underwater—are interwoven with 80s fusion sonics, inviting listeners on an unknown trip. Fully localized with a sharp focus on the bubble-era years of 1988–1990, this release surpasses its predecessor with an even more imaginative and distinctive take on Mallsoft.
The album is even more intricately crafted than before, featuring eerie vocal commercial songs supposedly aired only on Gunma TV, as well as CM-style music videos produced by DÉ DÉ MOUSE himself. As a side note within the project’s lore, the closure of Sun Aqua is rumored to have been caused by an excessive focus on couples-oriented marketing, leading to a gradual decline in family visitors, a deterioration in local public safety, and ultimately the collapse of the bubble economy.
Please enjoy the original vaporwave of FUSHICHO GROUP—a project that invites endless imagination.
