Spotify: Shinsekai by Midori

Continuing my Mariko Goto listening sessions with some good 'ol Midori and their magnum opus album Shinsekai. They were just a perfect storm of all these crazy elements and genres that shouldn’t really work together but for some reason or another they did, extremely well even. Japanese punk at it’s most creative, chaotic and rawest state.

New LiSA MV and song dropped today and that’s how I knew it was going to be a good day :grin:

Really great song, very powerful lyrics and of course the talent on showcase is just :exploding_head: I got goosebumps at that first chorus drop. The song and story being told here is amazing and the moment you realize what the song is about, it becomes even better.

This is hopefully just the start to a great 2024 for LiSA, New Album and World Tour please! :triumph:

Tidal: Acoustic -Self Cover Album- by Mao Abe
Spotify: Acoustic -Self Cover Album- by Mao Abe

Found another gem from last year’s releases, I’m not usually too big on self cover acoustic albums, but I was honestly blown away with how good this one was. Mao Abe is fast becoming a artist I look out for, this and her last full length are awesome.

This album also had the Omega’s singing, so that might have something to do with my enjoyment level :blush:

Another good album that I’ve finally caught up on, this is her first full length and it is very solid for someone so young. Pop and rnb with some decent ballads, sounds really promising. I will have to keep an eye out for future material

@Towa Abe Mao wrote this song for Asca!

Suisei is just in a league of her own :hushed: .

That’s actually pretty cool…

I made my wish come true and she made her wish come true. This is truly a happy moment for both me as her fan and her as an artist. I am so proud to be able to share this moment with her on her first-ever world tour concert and she did a phenomenal job that no media can ever capture how magical it is to hear Ado in person. This is truly a good year to be an Ado fan :sob: :partying_face: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Oh that would for sure! Didn’t even know she was a mom until today lol. Guess that makes sense.

Yes sir! It’s for mahouka S3, the anime you have a distaste for :joy:

here it is… and a new MV! fuck yeah

omg she is so fierce in this one, I can really hear/feel her rock roots coming out in this one, I hope for more stuff like this in the future. Definitely a good style for her.

oh yeah I forgot she was doing the mahouka OP, this song is way too good for that series though :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: jk

It’s not that I hate it that much just that it was so bad that it was funny lol Hey I bought all the LN up to volume 15 in my last big haul so at least I’m planning on giving the series a fair shake at some point… probably not watching this new season for a while though :sweat_smile:

Yup, reminds me of “classic” LiSA. Definitely fits her image more imo.

Hmm, onii-sama would disagree :rofl:

I mean that’s fair, I just really enjoy the fighting mechanics on this one more than others, despite being very overkill and OP.
