User blog:SeifukuGirls/Good Recent Finds No.1

Would it be okay if I did this every so often? Hopefully I won't clutter up the blog section, but I really want somewhere to go Mega Shill Mode on music I find.

I added some new things to my library last night and after half an day of going through it all letting it sink in, here are the ones that I'm the most addicted to. In no particular order:

HKT48 - 3-2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj6UO-UTqgQ Similar vibes to Sonna Koto Nai yo, which is to say golden era AKB vibes. Hopefully this marks a comeback for this kind of sound in 48G. Even though I'm not usually into this sort of traditional idol-y music it's impressively done enough to hook me anyway.

Ogata Megumi - Ookami Shounen-tai no Theme
https://open.spotify.com/track/3e31HE9RtdPeU6oaccjjTR?si=uIIgC4AwRSOhP2ssTIYQ0A Reminds me of Buriki no Dance, which is a good thing far as I'm concerned. I went through a couple of her albums since I want more music from seiyuu I like and this was by far the best thing I found. I'm really conflicted on her vocal performance here, it's weird and not exactly nice and smooth but that's what makes it interesting to listen to.

The Mirraz - Nengu no Osamedoki ~Boku Kara Mita Migi wa Kimi no Hidari~
https://open.spotify.com/track/0qEAqMrSiTgl2GTY3WupQa?si=UOKj02FmRTmsFUbVK6HwDw I can say with a lot of confidence that this isn't for everybody but if the words "chaotic EDM rock" appeal to you then you'll probably enjoy it as much as I do. The chorus melody is bouncy and fun even though the instrumental makes it a bit messy and hard to take in. An experience, to be sure.

Hige Driver - sharaku
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K06XK0FzqsU Hige Driver is one of my favorite composers and his way of making simple melodies really, really enjoyable is the most impressive thing about him. I'm usually not big on completely instrumental tracks but this one has enough focus and direction to fill the place of vocals. If you like chiptune and you're usually dissuaded by vocal-less music, listen to this one!

Hamasaki Ayumi - Real me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRt-JXLYICM I'm not sure how this slipped past me all these years, maybe I heard it and it just didn't strike me immediately but suddenly it became one of my favorite Ayu songs. It has a kind of subdued intensity to it, if that makes sense. Maybe it's sort of like a blend of NEXT LEVEL and INSPIRE? Sort of? Might just be me.

Attain Music - Ai no Monster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x9RrTWEV0c Delicious low-budget idol music! The vocal production is really unfortunate but I've come to find that kind of thing charming (maybe out of necessity honestly) and this is exactly the kind of dramatic rock music I love.

Mili - Meatball Submarine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPoYb4mbiOg I thought I'd already found all the songs I like off Miracle Milk but suddenly another one appeared! The piano carries it really nicely but it's still rock enough to not fall too firmly into soft sweetness for me.
