It might be an early autumn here, but this post is still floating along in summer.

• The Trees / Yuigon
  • Starting off with a song that reminds me of summers as a teen.
• One Direction / Pick Your Poison
  • New leak!
• Nomelon Nolemon / Sayonara Maybe
  • Obligatory hanabi season song!
• haku. / Mudai (No Title) (CW: flashing, motion sickness)
  • A post-punk exploration of melancholy.
• cali≠gari / “Izon” to Iu na no Byouki wo Chiryou Suru Byouin
  • I was updating my Discogs and realized I had never ripped my copy of Saikyouiku!
• Chanmina / Meinichi (CW: graphic violence & death, smoking) ★
  • Yakuza boss music video? Sign me tf up.
• Lily Fury / Stealth-Raider
  • Sadly their new album is not a tribute to Weiß kreuz. It aligns more closely with mid-2000s j-rock: the heavy metal of MUCC meeting the electronic opera of Nightmare.
• The Toxhards / Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog (CW: violence & fictional animal death, flashing, motion sickness) ★
  • The polka nu-metal sensation that has taken over Tumblr.
• Miii / kar.
  • 20 minutes of introspective instrumental.
• Kirinji / Honomekashi (feat. Se So Neon)
  • A song for chilling out at the beach late at night.
• Ichiko Aoba / meringue doll
  • Off to a field where the sun is streaming through the trees and gilding the flowers gold.
• Urakami Souki Band Society / The Horn’s Rhapsody (Kaku wo Sagasu Hito)
  • The description says it’s neo city pop, but it’s more jazz pop!
• Nakamura Kaho / Scuffing no Uta ★
  • The Belle singer did a Pocari campaign song a couple months ago. It certainly sounds more suited for Belle than a Pocari campaign!
• tayori / Kaze no Tayori ★
  • A very Sakamoto Maaya-esque song from this 3-piece utaite-adjacent band.
