MEISHI SMILE is an electronic project based in Los Angeles, CA.

A “meishi” is a Japanese business card. A formality masquerading as emotion. Mixed with the word “smile,” the two together form a meaning that aims to explore the very dual nature of the human experience as filtered through the digital divide.

Mainly inspired by J-Pop, Noise and Shoegaze, MEISHI SMILE sets to explore the contradicting nature of such music.

MEISHI SMILE is also the founder of label and collective ZOOM LENS and a frequent collaborator of Japanese net label Maltine Records.
