Listening to some music. The Algorithm Overlords surfaced this band for me, and I clicked on them because, hey, as a math person, I agree that i is a number:

...and I kinda like 'em!
FWIW, other Japanese bands that I like and think you should check out: Otokobe Beaver; ATARASHII GAKKO (I think all-caps is mandatory?), Wanima, and...some others I don't recall at the moment.
I was wondering why there was a midnight KST MV drop..... I forgot this was a JP track lol

Post a song/songs that you think fit "moderate"!
There are no wrong answers, it's just an excuse to post music! It can be a song about moderation, or a song that's moderate in some way musically, or however else you want to interpret it.

Well, @ojou came in BIG with the clutch move today: wanted to see yama live but it required a Japanese phone number, and phone (eTickets only). He answered the call and holy shit I'm so thankful for it because this concert was AMAZING.
Even got a good laugh from nearby audience when, during a brief downtime, I yelled out "この外人はヤマが大好きだ" ("Kono gaijin wa yama ga daisuki" - "This foreigner loves yama!")
Videos will be uploaded when I'm back on wifi, but here's a pic to whet your appetites :D
EDIT: Also I should add he's just a cool dude. Had dinner after, chatted a bunch, shared his knowledge of Japan, and more. Tonight was just all around fantastic.
This week's JMusic Friday has a theme of Summertime!
A bit early, but all right
Here's a great one.
Hanabie - Be The Gal (Early Summer Version) https://song.link/us/i/1695679182
Head-spinning and catchy, the in-demand electronic producer and artist’s music taps into the chaotic nature of modern online life. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/04/25/music/sasuke-haraguchi/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #music #jpop #sasukeharaguchi #vocaloid
It's Music Women Wednesday and Elsee dropped a new track entitled "Top it All" https://song.link/us/i/1804362165
So, my choice was made for me.
Tune Tuesday time, and going with some glorious city pop this week as the theme is Wind Music.
