didn't seem to find the album anywhere on streaming, so i did some extensive research and digging (asking a nice rym user) for this. now i would've felt obligated to rate it highly to satisfy my means of adventure, but this isn't the case at all!! damn proud of myself!!
these are really solid and fun japanese indie pop songs with sprinkles of art rock here and there, that's lost from the cables apart from the hit single 'REAL MAN' and a couple others that hint of ... read more
if there ever was a 2010s rap album that has the ability to suck your shit completely dry down to the bone it'd probably be 'N*ggas on the Moon' by the grips, but if there ever was the second best at doing so (in a similar manner) i'd give it to Shabazz Palaces with their 2011 experimental effort 'Black Up'.

nothing hits better than well-written pop songs. this is that type of music that makes you giggle to yourself alone at night; it's cheerfully produced while being catchy and sweet you might even catch diabetes! wow that is not something to giggle about, man. what the fuck
favorite tracks;
-ひろがるなみだ, so warm.....
-最終列車は25時, sonically fun with its flow and it just doesn't let go!!
-恋は月の蔭に, simple in its production but its intimacy melts you

this was a beautiful listen, the way everything's recorded and mixed makes it sound so grand yet so far from our own grasp of it, accompanied by its blazing guitar that could probably be heard from miles away from the show; still echoing in our ears years later; still immortalized.
never thought a noise rock album would get me teary-eyed, weird.
rest in peace.
favorite tracks;
-天界のペルソナ~世に残す歌, what!?!?!?
