The Japanese Popstars exploded onto the scene in 2008, with a debut album that received heavy praise from The Guardian, Word, Artrocker, NME, Clash, Popjustice, Mixmag, DJ, Radio 1, XFM, and many more, with critics hailing them as the rightful heirs to Underworld, the Chemical Brothers, and Orbital. Remixes for Beyonce, Grand National, Ting Tings, Shinichi Osawa, The Music, Groove Armada, and Tong & Spoon - came thick and fast.

The Japanese Popstars' live gigs saw them tear up stages at Glastonbury, Fabric, Wireless, Oxegen, Matter, Warehouse Project, and countless others. Their tours have taken them across the UK, Australia, Japan, and beyond, supporting the likes of Justice and Basement Jaxx, and cementing a reputation for a blistering live set.

We Just Are (Finalizer) was an outright critical favourite from their album. The track is melodic, blissed out electro, but with the bands trademark sound. Currently writing their second album, Decky, Gary, and Gareth, have just finished one of their biggest remixes to date, details of which will be announced very soon.

Due to popular demand, the album, We Just Are, was reissued on 30th March complete with a second cd of remixes.
