Finally had a bit of time for musical catchup this month, so this going to be a little long!

• Burnable/Unburnable / Euphoria Running Away (CW: flashing)

• Griffo / RE:You Human Are?
  • Chinese eroguro band? 👀
• aoi / Li koh bo tng--lai (CW: flashing)
  • Dark pop with a dance beat.
• Toaka / Sanagi ★

• Lausbub / Dancer in the Snow (CW: flashing)
  • Lausbub are still hanging around the electro-ambient corner.
• Ryutist / Kimi no Mune ni, Gunshot (CW: motion sickness, sword fights, implied death) ★

  • Obligatory shoegaze from an unexpected quarter!
• Ototoy Friday / Lemon Candy
  • For people who like 1990s shoujo anime themes with a bit of technopop production (me).

Also: new Rock Musical Bleach cast announced! I am about to be the most annoying person on Earth.

Random, but have you listened to Accusefive/告五人before? They're a Taiwanese indie pop band I discovered recently and I really like them. They remind me a bit of Stars, but Mandarin, with a more drum-forward sound.

Yes Accusefive is good! You should also check out aoi/青⾍, 草東沒有派對/No Party for Cao Dong, and 余佩真/Jen Jen.

I have listened to No Party for Cao Dong before, but I will check out the others thanks! :)
