solo artist
located: fukuoka, japan
languages: japanese, english
favorite release: kalk samen kuri no hana, shouso strip
top 5: 虚言症, 葬列, 闇に降る雨, 宗教, 罪と罰

i only got really into her pretty recently but she is such an incredibly talented artist like. i need to listen to the rest of her discography (i've only heard her first 4 minus the cover album and her bside comp so far) but man kalk samen is so amazing it's i think one of the most unique albums i've ever heard. and the outro......don't even get me started. how the fuck do you even make a song like that. the last minute of it is literally like nothing i've ever heard in any other song before Chills......... i remember i cried the first time i heard it like it was serious from the start. basically i think she's lowkey one of the best artists of all time and wayyyyy too underrated outside of japan. also she's literally so fucking cool.

favorite vocaloid producer ever their music is literally crazy and istg is what got me into more liek "experimental" types of music. so maybe they ruined my life but i forgive them cuz holy shit you are innocent monster is one of the best songs i've ever heard. they're also so underrated why are so many amazing vocaP's always underrated af.

top 5: two horses, for the cold country, opus, up song, nancy tries to take the night

i'm probably the only person that prefers their current music to their older music but i'm okay with that because i'm know i'm always right. i'm jk i do like for the first time and some songs from afut but forever howlong and live at bush hall are what really got me into them it's just all so sweet.... and i love the women in this band. but who's surprised 🙄 #lesbotron3000
i also love jockstrap (georgia's electronic duo with taylor skye) she's soooo cool bro

i got most of the genres from rateyourmusic so if they're wrong blame those nerds not me. again idk shit about genres
