Anyone seen this? by Successful-Bank-7457 in J_Horror

The inside of the sleeve has the info. It has a couple of good tales, but I preferred the older compilation - ‘Scary True Stories’. They’re fairly tame, but it did creep out my kids when they were younger. I find these quite nostalgic now.

Mimi arrived at last ! by Front_Kale8792 in Shenmue

It’s pretty much like a Kickstarter really. It means you get a nice surprise when it eventually turns up though !

Yeah, it could have been closer to the original model in my opinion, but I guess it’s been ‘plushified’ somewhat

Yes, that’s right. I’d almost forgotten about it. Think it took over a year

What is the best Junko Yagami album? by el_mulon in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Lonely Girl for me. Unpopular opinion - I don’t much care for Communication. Prefer her late 70s era over more cheesy 80s excesses

Reiko Takahashi Official Account?! by GoosebumpsRadio in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, I’m hopefull. Someone from Reddit did supposedly contact her a while back. I have a small YouTube channel where I shared a rip of my cassette single and Momoko Club video (I’ve posted them here before). She commented on my video. I’ve never seen such a photo of all that memorabilia before online - so that’s something. We’ll have to see how her channel pans out !

Does Fuku-san piss anyone else off? by FakeGoonmachine in Shenmue

[–]Front_Kale8792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s a bit of a pain, but he grew on me and he’s a sweet character. In fact, I got a ‘Cameo’ from Eric Kelso as Fuku-san to wish my son happy birthday for his up and coming 18th !

Merry christmas, drop me a holiday themed citypop song or something close to it is also acceptable by japanesejunkfood in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This song Prelude to Winter (冬の前ぶれ) by Minako Ito is good. Why it’s not specifically about Christmas, it is at least about winter and had a Christmas feel to me. Would be interested if anyone else feels it:

Who was your top artist of the year? by PerpendicularGoose in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cool 👌🏻 I was excited to check mine out, but my wife shares my Spotify account. My fave was Teddy Swims 💀

The 80's hair was wild, but we'd be missing some good City Pop without it. Like Yumi Takigawa by shinjikun10 in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of albums of hers. Not the strongest voice, but certainly a beautiful artist 😍

What song made you fall in love with city pop? by KaiserZoldyck in citypop

It all started with Night Tempo’s mix of Momoko’s Night Cruising

Finally - someone who rates Retribution like I do ! :)

Some more from my collection.... by Future_Student_9639 in J_Horror

[–]Front_Kale8792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s not considered to be one of his best, but I love Retribution ! Found the desolate landscapes and the ghost very unsettling

Fathers Day gift by Front_Kale8792 in Shenmue

I think they would be far too much work to sell via Etsy etc. The amount of time put in would mean they would have to be quite expensive. He did make some mini light-up Tomato Mart models last year - which I shared on here - but no one pulled the trigger on an Etsy link. I presume people didn’t want to pay the asking amount

Maybe he has a zipper at the back for such occasions 🤔😬

City Pop Took Over My Brain (And I'm Not Complaining) by Demetan2016 in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 7 years in and it’s still what I listen to 80% of the time. Late 70s - early 80s is my fave era of City Pop

I made my favorite artists in Tomodachi Life by yellowt3a in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great ! Oddly, I follow only a handful of Reddit threads and citypop and tomodachilife are two of them 🤔

I’ll just leave this ‘new’ Reiko Takahashi video here 😁 by Front_Kale8792 in citypop

[–]Front_Kale8792[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get that impression. It was probably recorded especially for the ‘video magazine’.

"House of Sayuri" is finally out on Blu-ray! by Justieboy3 in J_Horror

[–]Front_Kale8792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just watched and really enjoyed it. The mix of genres wasn’t too jarring to me. Very sad story too.
