Musicians īeing a project more than a band, different musicians appear following the recordings of the band, some as members and some as guests. The 2009 single 'My Last Evening In 大分' / 'Chase Around 大分駅' is based on Gilles Snowcat's own memories of the city of Ôita, Japan. The instrumentation is often focussed on keyboards and electronic sounds though electric guitar and bass guitar are more audible in recent songs.ĪWAKEN's latest songs have been influenced by various places in Japan, Vietnam and the rest of the world : 'The Train Is Leaving Kokura' mentions Kokura (小倉) and Usa (宇佐), ' Beppu Nights' happens in Beppu (別府), known for its hot springs, ' Wasabi Kiss' describes the peninsula of Shuzenji, 'Yanagigaura' (柳ヶ浦) evoques the feeling of loneliness in the small city of Yanagigaura and 'As A Start : Cà Phê And Pizza' is an imaginary trip from Italy, Vietnam and Japan. The name AWAKEN means 'a matter of bubbles', according to the Japanese translation:ĪWAKEN's style mixes disco beats and progressive structures, karaoke arrangements and heavy sounds, Belgian new beat rhythms and romantic new wave. Since 2005, Awaken is part of the team of the indies Japanese label It's Oh! Music, based in Miyazaki city. Recently, a cover of a Vietnamese children song 'Rửa Mặt Như Mèo' has been recorded and has been heard on Vietnamese internet, though not officially released. Not related to the modern Belgian scene at all (such as dEUS, Eté 67, Girls in Hawaii), Awaken gained interest from Vietnamese people, after the release of a Vietnamese song, 'Chú Mèo Ngủ Quên', and in Japan with the virtual EP '別府NIGHTS'. They released two official albums and numerous demo tapes and web-only singles since their early days in 1988.
