Self produced maximalist masterpiece from one of Japan’s most respected female musicians. It’s not that weird a rec I guess, but I never hear anyone talk about her, and for western standards the production is pretty strange. I wouldn’t know what genre to place it in, and I love that about it.

A great mix of ambient pop music, remixes, sound collages, more experimental tracks, and English covers of her songs. Definitely a hidden gem (also it was produced by Ryuichi Sakamoto who’s one of my favorite musicians ever)

this new hakushi hasegawa album is insane. maximalist electronic folky pop that is as tuneful as it is chaotic.

a bubbly, girly, japanese synthpop album from the early 80s that wasn't on streaming until very recently! it's a little goofy sometimes but all in good fun and sonically it's very unique.
Ryuichi Sakamoto of Yellow Magic Orchestra had a big hand in the production and actually got married to Akiko Yano a bit after the album and they were together until he passed in 2023.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
