Ikari is the name of two artists on Last FM: 1. Chiptune artist from Japan, started making music around 2006 with a gameboy. With a reputation for writing rather happy melodic tunes (which is rather contradictory with the literal translation) she has become a very well known artist throughout the chiptune world. :) 2. Avant garde hardcore band from Hampshire, UK. Fully describing their sound is difficult as they incorperate a very wide variety of genres, but core influences can be found in Converge, Captain Beefheart, Dillinger, Mr.
