★★ omg sayonara konnichi wa is meltingly cute. and she can’t always nail the notes but at least she sounds cute even when missing them.
★ yume miru season
★★ watashi i love you. why do i love this? it kinda sucks, right?
★ and then pajama party is a bit much… but too silly to take seriously?
★★ yagai concert? so we’ve established that she has a thing for oldies music, but i also appreciate that too. perhaps we’re the same here. and she doesn’t really have the voice for it either… perhaps we’re the same here too.
★ kare. the artificial, chintzy production kinda reminds me of lio, and although tsukasa’s voice is a lot less nasal than lio’s, i think they still fit in the same general of pop star also-rans.
★★ harukaze ni nosete! yet i can’t help but love it!
maybe chloe was right. maybe i have a thing for pathetic girls.
★ kaze ni natte has some really interesting sounds.
★ tomodachi e. that one synth is deranged! maybe this whole thing is kinda deranged?

do i love this? i’ve listened to it twice today, and it just melts me…
apparently she picked some people from ymo to work on it, which maybe explains why this whole thing is so pleasantly deranged…
though how did she even get them to work on this? what kind of connections did she have?!

i have been obsessing over the flat note in sayonara con-nichiwa for weeks now. the melody is setting it up to be the octave, but it comes out too flat to be that. the seventh would be an arty choice and would make the resulting chord be like a vi9, but it’s not quite that either. it sounds like a blue note hovering around there, but it refuses to resolve, but she hits it consistently!!
it confounds me and i can’t stop thinking about it. it draws me back in to listen to it again, hoping it’ll finally make sense this time, but knowing that it will not.
…is this what they call a “moe-element?”
(i tried to find a live version to see how she hits it then, but it’s hard to find any live videos of her at all.)

listening to that title track over speakers is such a trip. her vocals kick in with an incredible amount of reverb and it knocks you on your feet – you hear the voice of god and she’s a 13-year-old girl who’s trying her best.

this whole thing confounds me (affectionate?). a very young idol singer with a really cute voice that can’t quite hit the notes, singing in front of instrumentals that range from standard synthpop to doo-wop throwback to just utterly unhinged. and it has a weirdly stacked songwriter credit list? ryuichi sakamoto wrote a song for it?! mariya takeuchi wrote the one about having a pajama party?!!

Sakamoto was kind of everywhere for pop music in the 80s, I think. I love the production work he did on Mari Ijima's Rosé.holy shit that groove…
and yeah i can definitely see that, so maybe i use credits like that as a metric of an idol’s industry connections, and how much of a push there was to have her succeed. i have no clue if this is accurate or fair.
