The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It began as an indie scene encompassing pop musicians who incorporated disparate Western influences, drawing especially from 1960s pop, indie pop, and rare grooves.
- The term mainly refers to the shared artistic sensibilities between these musicians, who were typically dissimilar in sound, employed quotation and sampling extensively, and were inspired by earlier genres that used kitsch, fusion, and artifice.
- Coinciding with the Japanese asset price bubble and emergence of J-pop, the term was originally applied around 1993 to acts whose record sales were largely driven by affluent youth in Tokyo's Shibuya ward, which hosted shops with an exceptional stock of out-of-print imports from the West.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Shibuya-kei article was read about 86,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
