Kawaii future bass is a music genre[1] that was created in 2015 in Japan by Japanese artist Snail's House. It is a subgenre of Future bass, most notable for using samples from Anime and in turn being heavily influenced by Anime and Anime culture. It is also known for being very happy and upbeat, often with a fast BPM.
Origin and Growth
The earliest known official origin of kawaii future bass is in May 2015 with the release of Snail's House's EP Kirara. Though there were songs of similar style made before this time,[2] Snail's House's EP was the first to be described as kawaii future bass. The song "Ma Chouchoute" from the album has 1.4 million views on Youtube[3] as of March 2017 and 500,000+ on Spotify as of the same time, demonstrating the surge in popularity of the album and the genre as a whole.[4] Since the album's release, the genre has grown in popularity primarily in Japan and the United States, with the creation of record labels focusing entirely around the genre, such as PAO-WHO Records. There is also an ongoing collection of kawaii future bass songs by some of the most notable artists of the genre called Moe Collective.
Characteristics
Like Future bass, kawaii future bass is known for its emphasis on hard bass lines and Synthesizers, used almost always with chords. It is also known for its heavy and creative use of percussion, specifically hi-hats. However, what separates kawaii future bass from its origin is its noticeably high BPM and heavy use of Anime samples and themes. Kawaii future bass is very happy and often described as cute, hence the word kawaii (JP: 可愛い Hepburn: Kawaii), which means cute in Japanese.
