Hi sorry, posting a bunch of journals here x3

Wanted to link and talk about some songs that I've been listening to a bunch recently! Mostly J-pop lol

J-pop/Vocaloid - inabakumori - Lagtrain

This was the first song I found from inabakumori, and yeah I think like many I too have kinda... moved on from Vocaloid music x3 still, this is super nice, Kaai Yuki's voice seems to work super well and is nicely unique from the more common Vocaloid soundbanks like Hatsune Miku and Luka and so on. This song just has a really neat feel to it, and when I found a english version by Will Stetson I reeaally started to like the song! Here's the eng ver: https://youtu.be/BEnZ0VgQAXw



J-pop/Vocaloid - inabakumori - Lost umbrella

Another song by inabakumori! I listened to this for the first time only a few days ago, but hecc this too has a super nice feel to it x3 haven't checked what the song is about, but hell to me it's all about how a song sounds like. There's even been cases when I've been listening to a finnish song but haven't really listened to the words at aaaall, only to have someone else mention how dumb the words are haha



J-pop - Frederic & Akiko Wada - Yona yona dance

This has been my feel-good song for a good while now! Music and lyrics are pure Frederic, about just feeling good and wanting to dance, and heck Akiko Wada's voice just works super well with this! I was really surpriced to find that the singer is an older woman, ofcourse it doesn't really matter but yeah with the nature of the music video and the style of the song itself I was surpriced! Anyway, super good song, I wanna sing this with someone and just dance the night away without a care in the world x3



J-pop - Frederic - Sukiraism

I mentioned Frederic already so hecc I suppose I gotta link something fully from there too! There's sooo many songs I like from them, Oddloop, Rererepeat, Only wonder, Hello Good, Owarase night, Nightstep, Togenkyo, Kitaku beats... but yeah hey yeah, figured I'd link Sukiraism here. The way the chorus doesn't go all the way first time around, and eventually does, heeeellyeah it feels so gooood, kinda like with Simple & Clean where the "hoooold meeee whatever lies beyond this morning" doesn't come up when the chorus plays the first time. But yeah, all of Frederic's songs have such a good vibe to them!



J-pop - Dannie May - Eejanaika

First watched/listened this one only cos of the thumbnail's furry character interesting me to click, super glad I did. Honestly the videoside of this kinda shocked me the first time around and I've been feeling myself slipping towards what shows up in the vid (I'm not good at handling life lol), but yeah, I just love a bunch of things about both the video and the song itself. It sounds goooood, the video and lyrics hit me, aaand... yeah, the artist makes other good music too, I definitely gotta listen to more stuff from them x3



Pop rock whatever - Dadi Freyr - Something Magical

Just a nice christmas song from currently-my-fave-non-japanese-artist Dadi. Me like many others have noticed that christmas just seems to get lamer and lamer the more you age, but I really want to try and keep a hold of it's magic and the happiness it brings, positive things like that are important to me. But yeah, this song kinda helps me feel more magical and such about christmas x3 There's many other good Dadi songs too, which is whyy...



Chill pop - Dadi Freyr - Skiptir ekki máli

...I also gotta link this one. Singin in islandic but yeah damn I just really dig the feel of this x3 and when I found out that the lyrics are all about being yourself and not caring about what others think becos you wanna enjoy life, yeeeah I felt that connection for this song. You don't have to be "in" to have fun in life~



Rock - Haloo Helsinki! - TEXAS

Alright something finnish too x3 I could link a bunch of songs from Haloo Helsinki I've been listening to, Reiviluola, Ei Suomalaiset Tanssi, Ladi Domina... buuut yeah, I've again been pretty addicted to TEXAS. Just a feel good "just dance and have a blast" type of song about someone guy going to texas to have fun, the chorus sings about wanting to just wanting to have a blast without preconceptions, striking like a hurricane, and not going down any longer x3



Comedic jazz thing? (I'm horrible at music categories) - Bo Burnham - Welcome to the internet
A perfect song about the internet, and yeah again I just love the feel of this song, it sounds so goooood. A mood to dance and move to a music rarely strikes me but yeah damn this song had me dancing the first few times I listened to it! Bo's songs always have super good and meaningful lyrics too, his "art is dead" is still my absolute favourite.
