So glad I was into music games growing up. When I get on a nostalgia train, revisiting those songs/games is a real treat.
Still burned into my brain after all these years.
Sometimes I forget that I’m almost 40 years old. My thoughts and energy feel so young. I know it’s about how you “feel”. I wonder if I will feel different once I start to distinctly look older.
can't wait for tomorrow's brand new jpegmafia album? don't worry! you can make your own jpegmafia songs at home by simply taking a brockhampton song, speeding it up 20 BPM, distorting it, and mixing it with basically any idm/breakcore track released between 2001 and 2006
If you’re a fan of Japanese music and live outside of Japan, I would be so grateful if you take a moment to read this🙏
If you’ve ever wondered why more Japanese artists don’t reach out and do shows & tours overseas, the reason is pretty simple and the main one is the hurdle of selling tickets.
There is only a SMALL percentage of artists that can rely on the power of big labels/agents to promote their shows internationally.
Even in Japan, selling out shows is a lot more challenging than in past years, due to people just being satisfied with digital content. And considering it costs even more to bring a tour overseas, you can imagine how many artists are willing to LOSE money by doing so, if any.
It’s not just about the artist not being popular or sufficient enough, or that they don’t have the will to bring their content to fans around the world. In fact, there are so many fellow artists around me that I highly respect, telling me they wish they could do shows overseas, but know it’s not realistically possible, and as someone who yearns for the same thing, it really, really hurts inside.
More importantly, it hurts most that fans around the world will often never ever be able to see a show of their favorite Japanese artist.
I’m not trying to ask for pity, nor demand anything, unless this resonates with you.
But if it does, and you want to know what you can do to help us reach you with our music, it’s really very simple.
Please go follow artist’s socials.
Please go subscribe to their Youtube channels.
Please find them on Spotify.
Please interact with them by commenting and letting them know you’re there to support them.
Please share your passion with the people around you.
AND PLEASE, don’t miss the opportunity to buy a ticket and GO to their shows, when that miraculous opportunity comes, whether it’s a solo or event stage.
I am not exaggerating when I say it IS a miracle and it might never happen again.
I know writing all this isn’t gonna change much, but I just hope it reminds you that every listener, every fan, every second of support matters in keeping music alive, particularly in this generation.
Thanks for listening, if you made it this far🫶
Let’s keep Rocking On.

My girl asked me if I was depressed last night and I didn’t really have an answer, BUT, iono, when I think about the Jet Set Radio OST I’m filled with (what feels like) pure joy, so I think I’m gonna be alright.
@idk121717764673 Are you a bot or 16? That post was over a decade old. I don’t even remember feeling that strongly about The Weeknd then and I damn sure don’t now.
