not a music weeb eh?

thats x5 worse than being a normal weeb

lmao

More like dweeb tbh

something about the way a lot of japanese artists compose music just doesn't feel very intuitive to me and i know this guy is japanese american and was literally born here but you listen to his music and you can tell he's japanese i dunno.

like its always a very interesting approach and its cool because they often go at western genres from very unique angles but it just doesn't completely vibe with me a lot of the time, there are always moments that kind of disassociate me from the experience which very much interrupts my ability to want to come back to the stuff for repeat listens.

^I feel that. It gives them a unique edge, but that doesnt always help the songwriting.

70's pop and disco was not the direction I wanted him to take.

Album Rating: 4.0

i think he pulls off that disco-y vibe really well

Album Rating: 3.0

I mean, for the genres he's playing with, the music is fine

but for me personally those genres are a step backwards from the whimsical, fantasy-ish vibes of Lighght, so it's kind of hard to feel enthusiastic about

Album Rating: 4.0

i think its good that he's evolving though, i loved Lighght but i wouldn't just want the same thing again

really couldn't be more wrong about his music sounding "inherently japanese" that's the dumbest thing I heard today and most of my employees are 18-21. the most similar artists sonically to the shit he's released are all american artists. whatever you think you're hearing is clearly something you've applied to all the japanese artists you've heard

didnt ever say it sounded "inherently japanese"

just that his approach to composition on the one album of his i've heard reminds me of a lot of japanese musicians who write this kind of stuff. try having a civil conversation without putting words in peoples mouths.

"most of my employees are 18-21"

what are you a manager at k-mart you fucking loser?
