★★ kinpouge no hibi is such a strong opener
★★ seashell
★★ planet of green is really lovely too… what the hell! how did they drop three songs like this and then effectively disappear!!
and she can actually hit her notes, which is such a rarity!
but hey, if you like this and want more of it, you can get their full mini-album for the low low price of $188!

★★★★ such a strong opener. it really feels like some sort of perfect jewel of a song, released on an unknown demo tape and an unknown album and left for someone to hopefully one day find later.
and when the outro comes, i never want it to end, because i feel like i found meaning here.
i found this interview when trying to search for anything more about this band.
it also looks like the songwriter of the duo – yukari hashimoto – kept writing music and moved into the anime soundtrack world, writing for toradora among others.
Notes
post on paralogue
i’ve been stuck here for a couple days, trying to figure out how i feel about the opening song on here, but the only concrete feeling i get is that this shouldn’t be here. like this cassette art is very adorable, but damn if it doesn’t also have that “i made this :)” look to it. but then you put in the cassette, and listen to the first track, and get hit with this densely-arranged belle & sebastian-y jewel of twee pop.
the songs on here would get rerecorded and released on cd later that year (which can be yours right now for only $150!), so i guess it did find a more fitting home for it in time, though the arrangements on those kinda drown out her voice…
Lyrics to キンポウゲの日々 / days of marsh-marrigold
ひとりきりの明日に
彷徨い行く先には
キンポウゲが揺れている野原に続く道
この広い場所で 今でもまだ見え隠れして
僕をまだ困らせる君は
何処にいるんだろう
you make labyrinth 探しているの
晴れわたるどれ五月の空を
you make something 聴かせて欲しい
鳥の歌を 風と朝やけの言葉よりも
二人だけの明日は
野原へ続く小道
太陽の鏡まで 辿り着く頃には
あの広い場所で 今ではもう目配せの
合図する君と僕の影は
そこには無いんだろう
good bye,love…myself 君の言葉は
僕の胸をひどく痛め
good bye…(my)labyrinth 教えて欲しい
春の声で 君があの日見た不思議な花を
黄色い微睡みの中
僕等が気付いた事は…愛してた。
you make labyrinth 探しているの
澄みわたる 五月の空を
good bye…(my)labyrinth
君の声を…風と朝やけの言葉よりも
