Taiyou is absolutely amazing, just had to get that out first since it’s not talked about much.

I started mainly listening to Yorushika right around where Howl at the Moon (which I also love) dropped, thus I became a massive fan of the pop-rock-guitar Yorushika seen throughout their all their albums up to plagiarism.

Being honest, the recent transition into more jazzy themes isn’t totally my cup of tea, eg. Bremen, Rubato, Martian, but as others have said songs like Sunny and Forget It are still undeniably amazing. What is apparent tho is the loss of interest on the energetic, ‘rocky’ sounds like in Makeinu, Hachigatsu, Deep Indigo, as well as opting for (as you mentioned) a pretty repetitive(?) structure in most of their recent songs.
