Notes from the Wired

This is a website where I write articles on various topics that interest me, carving out a bit of cyberspace for myself.

You shouldn't believe anything I talk about — I use words entirely recreationally.

    Suki-suki-daisuki (2016) Suki-Suki Daisuki by Jun Togawa is a Japanese new wave synth-pop album. It heavily utilizes synthesizers for instrumentation, but the vocals are definitely the highlight—she does a lot with her voice. In comparison, the instruments are more subdued. The album is meant to be a satirical take on the Japanese idol scene, making it an acquired taste. She does sound a bit like Houshou Marine; both are Japanese and hags—coincidence? I don’t think so.
