every once in a while i pick a song & album to highlight on my page! take these as recommendations and just stuff i'm currently listening to :3

16.nov.24 - ??? : DIM / seeyalater stratocaster
yves' new EP was pretty neat! i love the beat switch of this one tho.... feels so ethereal. really nice ending to the release. super neat indie rock with synth vocals!
19.oct.24 - 16.nov.24 : upward movement (dave owns) / imaginal disk
SICK of pretending like this song isn't straight up FIRE. i'm not afraid to admit that homestuck has some bangers up its sleeve but this one is possibly my favorite one. i love the midi strings or whatever that's called. and the little change up during the 2nd half of this song is just so fucking great too. i can't stop listening to this, this is so magical! listening log
30.aug.24 - 19.oct.24 : ナイトホリック / sunsound collisions

i actually checked this anime out because of its banger opening by a japanese duo called UROMT but like. it just wasn't what i expected it to be skull emoji either way, this is still super catchy to me and i've been listening to it so much lately.

very nice lo-fi type beat collection of songs by an artist i really like! i'm usually playing this in the bg while doing something else. either way, despite it Just being a collection of sounds, i still find it very worthwhile to listen to. my favorite song from this album is speak with you!

27.jul.24 - 30.aug.24 : walls / アダンの風 (adan no kaze)
a beautiful shoegaze song i've been listening to for the past year or two. the cover features a character from one of my favorite anime: kaiba. and there's even a sample of one of her lines in the song. i have rewatched kaiba SO many times that i think if you give me enough time i can tell you what that line of hers is saying. i've been playing ichiko aoba songs every night before going to sleep because oh my god.... their voice and the MELODIES they use just feel so comforting.... recently played this album wide awake. it really was an amazing experience. i love the waves and the wind and all those little sounds that are spread throughout this release. it really made me feel like i was there.
14.jun.24 - 27.jul.24 : the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy / sonic rush OST
what a yummy song, it reminds of my melodic dubstep high school days I AM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SOUNDTRACK......
12.may.24 - 14.jun.24 : 24 / dreamy drive
very catchy and fun song and it kinda has that fnaf's beat to it that i love nice and chill korean indie release! had been meaning to listen it for a while! very refreshing
07.apr.24 - 12.may.24 : satisfied / 陽​の​か​け​ら
such a nice song to jam to (i wish it was longer!!!) a gorgeous and dreamy ep that uses hatsune miku for its vocals and a mix of shoegaze and dreampop / ambient pop for it's instrumentals.
24.feb.24 - 07.apr.24 : aqua / dead girl dubstep EP

this was love at first listen. this is technically jpop.... since they are a japanese pop boy group... but i also consider them to be a kpop group. anyway. I MISSED THIS future house sound soo much in kpop. it was super refreshing to hear this from my newly released tab! it's so good, first hit of the year.

a fun new EP from one of my favorite electronic artists filled with energetic remixes, most of them from siinamota!

01.dec.23 - 24.feb.24 : spell / kokegane no uta

i've been obsessed with this song for quite a bit and i just need to say that this is kpop perfection to me. i love a good ass song that makes me wanna get up and dance to it.

one of siinamota's best releases! this is so so charming. ranging from sweet songs to energetic ones, i think this EP has a great balance to it. my favorite song from here is ましろの色 (mashiro no iro)

20.oct.23 - 01.dec.23 : internet yamero / おしえてV感覚

insane song imo, i really have to appreciate the range in subgenres this song has and how well aiobahn manages to put it all together to make this AWESOME listening experience.

a very chill japanese shoegaze EP... very sweet ^-^

30.sep.23 - 20.oct.23 : breathe / softscars

such an iconic kpop song imo! this is pure house perfection. i was super happy to see that they made a remastered version of it.

16.aug.23 - 30.sep.23 : dorothy / se bueno

i've been thinking a lot about this song lately. the drum n bass in the 2nd half makes me so emotional for some reason ?!?!? and it has made think "why is that?" and boy do i wish i had the words to describe it. i just feel like the breakbeat part of this song elevates it so much, it adds so much to it. from the sad piano, and bittersweet singing, i think its such a lovely touch.

and talking about breakbeats!!! i recently listened to this album. and wow was this so so so cool. i've been looking for more drum n bass music lately and the album cover of this catched my attention.
