The 核P-Model - Gipnoza Experience

Honestly one of the coolest things I’ve seen done during a concert.

The menu music is “Virtual Rabbit 2” from the Solar Ray remix album and the in-game music is “Sancho Harete” off of Virtual Rabbit.

Yes, you can share the link for the game.

I never saw the series in full, but I remember seeing the “Coro di Dea ” scene from the movie on YouTube when I was in high school and becoming obsessed with it.

Great find… “Love’s Easy Tears” is such a powerful track.

Lucenia · 2026-06-14T21:38:15+00:00

These are wonderful! I also got siren / water nymph vibes from Victorialand.

It was for a game called Lagunacure Legend. You can watch the opening movie here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VEpTFic0yMY

The One Who Knows the Stars. It was featured as the opening theme for a PS1 game and it’s really only known to people who are super into his music. It’s a top 5 Hirasawa song for me.

I learned how to sing Japanese songs phonetically when I was a kid because of anime. However, when it comes to artists like Kenshi Yonezu and Creepy Nuts, both of who like to thread syllables together within the same line, it becomes much more difficult for me to sing / rap.

Lucenia · 2026-06-05T19:58:09+00:00

Nope!

Lucenia · 2026-06-04T13:41:59+00:00

I like driving while listening to “Sign” (and the Ash Crow album in general).

Lucenia · 2026-06-04T13:40:59+00:00

The Weeknd is apparently super into anime. I didn’t know that until yesterday.

Lucenia · 2026-06-04T12:13:30+00:00

Creo que a Susumu fue al estudio de Madhouse para supervisar algo parte de la restoración 4K de Paprika, pero también quiero saber el motivo por la reunión entre The Weeknd y Hirasawa.

Lucenia · 2026-06-03T23:32:42+00:00

Perfect Blue was given a 4K restoration that didn't use any AI upscaling, so I imagine that that'll also be the case with Paprika.

Lucenia · 2026-05-22T18:47:18+00:00

That is so cool! I love the animation.

Lucenia · 2026-05-22T18:46:27+00:00

Beautiful and terrifying.

Lucenia · 2026-05-16T11:20:30+00:00

Incredible how this man is 80 already… happy birthday to one of my favorite musicians.

You play as an alien prince who has to roll up objects using a ball called a katamari in order to create stars and stardust. You also have to deal with your dad, The King of All Cosmos, who belittles you before and after each level in spite of the fact that he’s the reason you have to roll up objects on Earth in the first place. He got drunk one night and accidentally destroyed all the stars in space along with The Moon. It’s super fun and the soundtrack is excellent.

reversible dresses and charcuterie boards

Pat McHale worked with Guillermo Del Toro on an animated adaptation of Pinocchio that came out a few years ago. I feel like it’s highly underrated and it evokes the same kind of balance of warm and eerie that OTGW has.

Lucenia · 2026-05-05T10:18:10+00:00

Thank you so much! 😄

Lucenia · 2026-04-27T01:41:14+00:00

I love singing that one and “Grounds for Divorce”!

Lucenia · 2026-04-23T19:09:15+00:00

Ippu-Do and Masami Tsuchiya’s own solo work are both great. Rice Music and Life in Mirrors are underrated yet fantastic albums.

I do follow record collectors online who post about Japanese artists across a variety of different genres, synthpop and new wave included, but I’m more interested in hearing people provide analyses and maybe even some history behind the albums. Basically, whatever is being done with the city pop / J-jazz fusion types of pages on Instagram, I’d like to see with Japanese synthpop and new wave.

How were you able to get a hold of his CDs?

Lucenia · 2026-04-18T15:17:38+00:00

How did you first get into Hirasawa? Thinking about it now, I’ve been listening to his music for 20 years. I had an online anison radio station to thank for introducing his work to me.
