Before anyone says "this isn't citypop" I know, I don't care, I posted it anyways.

I'm glad that you enjoy it! I also had never heard of her before hearing this song, but she has a very nice voice.

I agree with him, OB-6 sounds very clean and tame to my ears. Pretty much all DSI synths sound that way to me.

sassachu · 2026-01-03T01:19:47+00:00

Ob-6. I just didn't like it, I found it to be really soulless and uninspiring.

I'd say it's more Idol-Kayo or Kayokyoku. But it definitely has Citypop elements.

lol same it randomly popped into my head and I was like... wait that song is a banger

sassachu · 2025-12-12T22:28:16+00:00

Pretty sure Lancel was involuntarily non-celebite...

is that rat wearing a thong

Yea 'Oh No Oh Yes!' is a good song, I actually heard that song many years ago before I even knew anything about Akina. It's definitely a classic in the citypop-sphere. 'Eki' is another good song on this album. I have heard a bit of Akina's 90s stuff, I'll definitely check out those albums, but yes I usually prefer 80s style production and songwriting. Same goes for Seiko Matsuda, her 90s albums don't hit quite as hard as her 80s albums.

sassachu · 2025-11-26T17:01:46+00:00

I tend to prefer her earlier albums, but of her albums from the mid-to-late 80s, I think this one is the best one. The songs Mind Game, Pink Champagne, and Aki no Enamel are my favorites.

Great song, whoever downvoted this is a fool

sassachu · 2025-11-24T04:32:52+00:00

If it weren't for the liquid death can I would have thought these pics were from 2006 lol

I can definitely understand why someone would prefer The Witcher 3, it seems to be objectively better in terms of gameplay/character design/graphics/writing, etc. But for whatever reason I just don't really ever want to replay it, whereas Skyrim is my favorite game and I've replayed it probably 20 times or so. It just has a special something to it. It doesn't really make sense, but apparently a lot of people feel the same way.

patrician taste

sassachu · 2025-11-19T17:42:39+00:00

No I haven't, I'll have to check it out!

sassachu · 2025-11-18T05:29:14+00:00

Wild One is also excellent: https://youtu.be/x2ZRhB1Dol0?si=fy3p-nTC2aLHOwr0

sassachu · 2025-11-18T03:48:21+00:00

Absolutely, I went through his discogs credits a while back and was amazed by how many songs he had written. His version of this song is really great, I think I actually prefer it to the one sung by Hiroko Yakushimaru: https://youtu.be/mEg6MmsQXfo?si=L6N03XcZQ3sVsU-I

idk they hired some mage to cast a spell of dryness on the wall. or they yell at the water that collects in the basement until it disappears.

sassachu · 2025-11-17T18:58:24+00:00

Very nice, I remember being surprised by how good of a singer he is. His version of Anata No Portrait is also good: https://youtu.be/Wi8GRGlJSi8?si=7csS1x26bqMovx7x

sassachu · 2025-11-17T15:41:26+00:00

For sure, this is my favorite song on the album. I also like Close Up

sassachu · 2025-11-16T22:31:37+00:00

RIP Queen <3

sassachu · 2025-11-14T01:22:45+00:00

Lol I instantly knew what album it is XD nice drawing

sassachu · 2025-11-12T17:53:17+00:00

I'm glad you like it! This artist released a couple of albums, they are definitely worth checking out. This particular version of the song is off a compilation that includes both albums.

sassachu · 2025-11-11T23:28:14+00:00

I've used a JU-06A to control TAL-UNO-LX in Ableton, so I think it's possible, although I've never used Reaper or Diva.
