Album Notes & Community Reviews

The innovative Japanese singer-songwriter heavily emphasizes her signature fascination with vintage synthesizers and Casio keyboards on this eclectic release. Drifting slightly away from her earlier indie-pop leanings, the album creates a whimsical, surreal atmosphere blending picopop quirkiness with subtle neo-psychedelic textures.
