Asia

Sometimes, the quiet does not end.  It transforms.
In Episode 104, we slowed everything down. We took a breath, stepped away from the noise and allowed the music to bring us back toward ourselves.
But somewhere beyond that stillness, the sky began to change. 
A low rumble appeared in the distance. The clouds gathered. Amplifiers warmed up. Guitar
strings started to vibrate—and the magical music bus pulled back onto the road.
This is Episode 105 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, and for this episode we are following the Signals Beneath the Noise.
These are independent artists creating progressive, alternative, psychedelic and cinematic rock—musicians still building their roads, finding their listeners and pushing their music beyond familiar borders.
We begin gently, but do not get too comfortable.
There is rolling thunder ahead.
You are listening to the Overlooked Tracks Podcast—music you’ve been overlooking.

The road begins quietly.  No loud announcements. No flashing lights. Just the soft hum of an engine… and the sense that something new is unfolding.  
This time around, the Magical Music Bus rolls into 4 countries — not with noise, but with rhythm. Places where melodies feel ancient, magical and futuristic at once. Outside the window, colors move like brushstrokes across these lands. Cars and Motorcycles hum around many cities, and  conversations drift through the air. Somewhere in the distance, a soulful voice rises and refuses to be ignored.
We’re not chasing charts this season.  We’re chasing the dreams hidden inside melodies, the desires carried in basslines, the quiet parts of ourselves that only music seems to understand. Let these tracks meet you where you are — and maybe help you discover who you’re becoming.  
From neo-soul whispers to indie R&B reflections and pop confessions that linger long after the last note, this journey moves through voices meant to travel beyond borders.  So take a seat. Let the world soften.
Find your window.  You’re riding with the Overlooked Tracks Podcast.  Season Seven — On the Road Again.
The journey is already in motion.

🎶 Episode 97: “Fusion at the Edge: Turkey’s Sonic Mosaic”Where continents hum, and music is the bridge.
🌀 Ride the Bosphorus with us.
I’m Kenny Chiba — your cosmic bus driver and sonic guide — and in this episode we plunge deep into Turkey’s soundscape. Here, East and West don’t just touch — they collide, converse, shake hands, and remix. The Bosphorus isn’t just geography — it’s pulse, it’s groove, it’s the tubular vein where melodies flow between worlds.On this journey, tradition coexists with jazz fusion, rock chops echo in ancient alleys, and rap/hip-hop voices carry modern rebellion on old winds.
✨ In Episode 97 of the Overlooked Tracks PodcastWe let Anatolian psych, jazz fusion, and boundary-breaking hybrids rise — from Anatolian soil, through crowded bazaars, out into the cinematic sky.

The Magical Music Bus is making a pit stop in the country of Thailand, where you can find beaches, historic palaces and some really spicy food.  Speaking of spicy food, we got some spicy music for your soul being displayed by 4 artists residing in Thailand and this time around now, I, Kenny Chiba, podcaster for the Overlooked Tracks Podcast will be going radio silent for the most of the 52nd episode.  In other words, Music to your Ears!!

Being on the road again is a damn good feeling to visit different lands, wondering carefree (especially from the threat of COVID-19) and exploring new and unique music. This time, the Overlooked Tracks Podcast is on the Magical Music Bus and now is discovering the country of Indonesia, a land of "Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one".  Many cultures, languages and food (if you’re a foodie like me) can be seen, heard and eaten in this great country in South East Asia.  Take a trip to experience it for yourself and along the way, bring your headphones and of course your ears to discover the many vibes Indonesia can bring to your musical soul. 
Please Note:  Bump Music was from the following music artists:
Song: Ukulele and Chill / Artist: Cody G
Song: Kuroi Ame (Black Rain) / Artist:  DJ Krush
Song: I Remember / Artist: deadmau5

I was having a conversation with someone and the subject was Japanese animation or simply “anime” and I was learning more about anime from the conversation than I could ever thought of.  I’m a casual fan of the art form and interested in learning more about the fascination and popularity of anime.  Damn, I have a lot to learn because there is SO MUCH to see.  I did however discover the connection between Japanese anime and music – how appropriate because of course this is the Overlooked Tracks podcast - a music podcast.  
Come to find out there’s music to be listened and a music genre folks need to pay attention to, especially if they’re big fans of anime and even if you’re not a big fan, the Anison music genre may be a good start for you to learn more about the music and anime. Maybe you can call it “Killing two birds with one stone”. 
Please Note:  Bump Music was from the following album and music artist: Album: Eternal Youth / Artist:  Rude.  Please go to the following link to find more music from this artist:

Have you ever had a moment when so many things and events and situations happen all at the same time and you feel overwhelmed to the point where you just freeze and hide in a corner or somewhere so no one can see you?  Well, I don’t know about you but life can really get in the way for you to make progress and continue on with your journey to a good life both in the spiritual sense and the physical form.  This episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast will focus on the mental.  Mental stability, mental greatness and mental peace just to name a few.  My name is Kenny Chiba and again this is the Overlooked Tracks podcast and we will start episode #47 with a band and a smooth soul singer telling a story of keeping it simple, keeping it special and keeping it pure because life can be rough and it may put you on your ass, but each of us have the power to get back up, dust ourselves off and fight for what you truly believe and love.
