What should I do with AO3 down… I know!

• Lady Parts / Villain Era ★ (CW: flashing)
  • The punk anthem of recovering people-pleasers!
• Gestalt Girl / Kamisama ★
  • This sounds a bit anime theme tropey at first verse, but the chorus rips back to the post-punk.
• Mafune Towa / Haru Ichiban
  • That rainy, muggy June ennui.
• Laura day romance / Toumei
  • Some shoegaze pop to meet my shoegaze quota.
• The Last Dinner Party / Sinner (CW: motion sickness)
  • Not to be a bandwagoner but the post-chorus guitar is quite good.
• Kiri T / Bilingual Problems
  • The relatable title of this song certainly drew me to it. The song itself reminds me of old-school Bonnie Pink. (For bonus cultural confusion, the MV is in Cantonese and English but filmed in Taiwan.)
• Usay Kawlu / Niyaro’ (Hometown) ★
  • A hopeful Amis song with the most delicate instrumental touch.
• Cubelic / Weather Report
  • It’s sort of Perfume’s “Nee” mixed with “Polygon Wave”.
• Young Posse / XXL
  • We need more silly music videos in idol land.
