sheena ringo x nocchi!!

I actually posted Ringo's album last week, but one of the MVs (the collab with AI) was racist so I removed it. This Nocchi song was good, but I'm really disappointed by her that I can't really listen to the rest of the album. :/

[sister]

oh wow, what was happening in it or what did she do? i don't follow sheena, i just showed up for nocchi :(

I'll let the picture speaks for itself, here. Basically it looks like a minstrel show, so nagl for both Sheena Ringo and AI.

I've never heard Nocchi's actual singing until Hatsu KO Kachi, she's got a really nice voice! Hopefully she gets more chances to sing how she likes.

Here for MONKEY MAJIK... I was really surprised to see an email from CDJapan in my inbox this morning saying they're releasing a new album next month. They tend to release original ones every two years and it's been less than that since the last album. They're one of the last remaining artists/groups based in Japan I love who still release new music so I always get pretty excited when I get this type of news.

Aw I'm happy for you!! I don't follow them closely (mostly listening to more well-known songs or anime-related), but their music always feel so warm and nostalgic. I'll be sure to add their new album in the post when it's out!

Hell yeah, a BLU-SWING album. I've been digging the recent singles. Thanks OP

[reveriexz]

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the album ☺️

Any Monkey Majik recs OP???

[reveriexz]

A fan would probably have better recs than me, but these are my faves!: older songs: Together, Sora wa Marude, Tada Arigatou, newer songs: Running in the Dark, Please Don't Stop the Music
