re: wednesday campanella, i REALLY miss KOM_I. i like utaha, but she creates a very different sound for the band and i genuinely thought the last few albums KOM_I was on with wednesday campanella were so incredibly artistic, groundbreaking, etc. this most recent release is almost kyary like, which is not an issue, but i just miss the avant garde vibe KOM_I brought (and i think kenmochi hidefumi as a prodcuer works better in the avant garde space - he's not yasutaka nakata)

:'(

Aw I haven't followed them close enough, I had no idea KOM_I left ;_; The new song definitely sounds very different from the one you posted - they sound very pop now, for the lack of better words. Hopefully they can go back to the old avant garde sound orz

I haven’t liked the new songs iri has put out which depresses me bc I usually click with her style.

[reveriexz]

Aw maybe she's been trying a lot of new styles? But yeah my fave album from her is still Groove it after all these years :')

[koushiba]

Groove It is soooo good. Juice is my personal fave. I think so! I usually love jazzy jpop but it felt too disconnected even for me. Oh well! She’s still one of my favorite artists out now.
