Summer is ending and it’s cold 🥲

• Regal Lily / Moonlight Reverse
  • Regal Lily goes a little further back than the latest trend with a late 00s–style j-rock ballad.
• Milet / We All Lie
  • This video asks: does anyone miss 2000s anime endings?
• chilldspot / Ai-Ai (CW: flashing, alcohol)
  • This one starts off as a piano ballad before bringing the guitar grit in.
• Pasocom Music Club / Child Replay feat. Shibata Satoko ★
  • Melancholy pop melody over a few decades of EDM influences.
• Pet Shop Boys / It’s not a crime
  • Always enjoy a dance-y b-side from the Boys.
• Dotnoi & Tom-i (feat. Tsumugine Rei) / Luminous (Ryoqucha remix)
  • I kind of missed 2000s j-trance — but there’s a few modern touches in here.
• Oni / Datsu
  • Lo-fi downbeat electronica for the sad Hot Chip fans.
• Gestalt Girl / Shinkirou
  • And now for something a bit more upbeat.
• Group2 / Kai ★
  • Weird pop rock time!
