Athletica is a 1997 EP by Takako Minekawa. [1]
The Japanese-only release was recorded between Roomic Cube and Cloudy Cloud Calculator. The sound is similar to those records, but more experimental. The Athletica EP also has another version of "Fabie", but it's pretty different, this one having beats reminiscent of early '80s hip-hop, complete with TR-808 beats. For this EP, Takako enlisted the help of ex-A.D.S. (Asteroid Desert Songs) guitarist, Yasuo Takai. The album has more beats than Takako's usual material. "Metromusica" is a miasma of bleeps and metronome clicks, along with Takako's childlike voice. It blends into the soothing "Slow Flow Mole." "Klaxon! (A New Type)" is a Takako Minekawa/Buffalo Daughter collaboration, that later appeared on Recubed.

Buffalo Daughter is a Japanese rock group formed in 1993. The three main members are suGar Yoshinaga on guitar, Yumiko Ohno on bass, and Moog Yamamoto on turntables and graphic design. The group originally had a drummer, Chica Ogawa, but after his departure they have had no permanent drummer and have hired different people to fill in as needed. In addition, the band is well known for using a number of electronic instruments, such as the TB-303, TR-606, Minimoog, shortwave radio, and other instruments. Although they emerged from Shibuya at about the same time as other Shibuya-kei acts, Yoshinaga does not believe the label accurately describes the band's music.
