today's song recommendation is ダブル・プラトニツク・スウイサイド (double . platonic . suicide) by 溶けない名前 (tokenai namae) be still my beating japanese shoegaze heart. this is a song for the all about lily chou-chou lovers and those fond of nostalgia and reminiscing on their adolescence. nothing like a very catchy synth riff to take me back to my teen years! light and melodic vocals contrast with reverb heavy guitars and forceful drum beats, to make for a track that feels palpable with urgency. it makes your heart race, it makes you want to run down the street so fast you feel like you could almost fly.
complete non-sequitur, as is everything that come out of my mouth at this point, but i came across this song the other day and it fits the very specific niche of like, nostalgic-sounding vocaloid (it sounds very specifically like it was produced in the earlyish 2010s - i don't know how to describe it exactly but if you've listened to a little bit of the genre you might know what i mean?) but also kinda wistful jazz? i know voice synthesiser's aren't everyone's cup of tea but if it sounds like it might be up your alley, would recommend checking this song out! ₊˚⊹♫
