One of those songs you come back to after a looooong time and sit in its synth nostalgia and let it wash over you like a warm shower. Bonus points if it makes you cry on the subway.. Couldn’t be me though!

We had a work trip to Japan in November (already feel so grateful I get to experience Japan in this way). After a week of intense workshops in the day and connecting with people and exploring the city after hours, I was finally left alone to wander on my own for an evening. After queueing up for 20 minutes for the most delicious spicy wagyu ramen that I randomly passed by, and happily devouring it, I wandered into a vinyl/ listening bar with a long-ish queue of locals.
Since I was alone and didn’t mind sitting at the bar (love sitting at the bar and just watching the bartenders in their “flow state” usually in time to music), I was seated almost immediately. While I ordered a delicious and most rewarding Manhattan, this song played and in those few minutes, I felt waves of joy, gratitude and calm.… almost like everything felt right and I was meant to be in this moment and just be.
Then I leaned over and saw the cutest/ most kawaii album art! This song is probably exhausted with how much it’s been running in my rotation but it always takes me back to that crisp, cold evening in a foreign country, blissfully alone but not lonely (rare for me to feel this as an incorrigible extrovert constantly seeking connection).
I have no idea what the song translates to from Japanese and I actually don’t want to know, in case it ruins the memory for me or ends up being a sad song. But if you understand Japanese, and know this is a happy or hopeful song, let me know! And if you know of similar songs, drop them… would love to discover more!

It’s been a while since I’ve had something so hard on repeat like this, can’t stop listening…

I really cannot describe how comforting it is to know that whenever I'm hungry I have 3 full taperwares of stewed black beans just sitting in my fridge.

I haven't done this yet, but I'm about to and I'm sort of giddy about it! My high school? The Dairy Queen parking lot? The strip mall where I got stopped by a cop for 'not turning my headlights on fast enough?' The makeout point that abuts the grocery store? Good lord there's so much to see! Please understand these places made me who I am!! There's a whole part of me you haven't met yet!

What voice do they use? Do they refer to themselves in the third or first person? Do they even have one? What songs are stuck in their heads? What intrusive memory keeps them up at odd hours?
