Tokyo-based Indie Rock & Alternative Music Web Magazine.
Founded in Tokyo, Between the Doors explores the borderlands where underground music and pop culture intersect.
Covering indie rock, alternative, post-punk, shoegaze, gothic, and darkwave, the site approaches music not as a trend to consume, but as a shared emotional landscape that connects artists and listeners beyond time and geography.
We believe in the quiet power of independent voices—those that resist algorithmic predictability and mainstream uniformity.
Through thoughtful criticism, interviews, and curation, Between the Doors seeks to illuminate the sounds that dwell in the spaces between noise and silence, light and shadow.
Our mission is simple: to document the evolving pulse of alternative music, and to listen deeply to the echoes that shape tomorrow’s underground.
