Same. I'm hoping that someone on /mu/ will have used their hipster music to find out everything they could about this kind of music.
Only other way I can think of finding this stuff [without learning jap] is through related videos on vaporwave tracks and Japanese commercials from around the same time.

his rhythm guitar is tight and angular as fuck, but the basslines are something else ain't they?

I saw a creepy pasta about her once from 2ch. I should have saved it, but the translator I used garbled it pretty bad.
Have another laserdisc rip to make up for it.
