• Pet Shop Boys / Loneliness ★ (CW: not quite SFW)
  • PSB is so back.
• Dreamcatcher / Silent Night ★
  • I’ve never really got around to doing a Dreamcatcher deep dive but a friend linked this recently. ’00s techno triplet breakdown? Yes please.
• Kitani Tatsuya / Preview of Me (Jikai Yosoku)
  • The song is good but the video is better.
• Dé Dé Mouse / moonrise dream feat. Hylen & Crystal Tea
  • Sparkly Shibuya-kei revival to groove to. We did not need to bring back the ’00s fashion though T_T
• Cö shu Nie / Artificial Vampire (CW: flashing)
  • Piano funk with peeks of metal.
• Yukichi Kasaku/men / Call Me ★ (CW: flashing)
  • Trippy fidgety bit of keyboard tapping unease.
• Blooming Bungei (Bungeitengoku) / First Love (Hatsukoi)
  • Here is the regularly scheduled guitar breakdown.
• Said the Whale / Emerald Lake, AB
  • STW played this (along with the rest of Islands Disappear) at their hawaiii anniversary show and it was so fun to belt in a crowd.
