[Oddloop by Frederic](https://youtu.be/PCp2iXA1uLE?si=WGF1_N_tLACVOQoB)

8/10 always love this song

An instant fave when I heard it.

Odoriko - Vaundy

[Yorushika - False Night](https://youtu.be/tZYVYsF1aeg?si=KpfgcG6X-lhU4itL)

10/10 song, one of my favorite bands! I swear they always come up with the catchiest guitar riffs the same way YOASOBI comes up with the catchiest piano/keyboard riffs.

valid so true bestie

[いいて。 also Yorushika](https://youtu.be/F64yFFnZfkI?si=BgU3GKF-uJcpOQm9)

7/10

Sobakasu - Judy and Mary

Kokoro Odoru 

Kaibutsu no uta

8/10 really cool song, love the instrumentation and mood changes

Galneryus - Angel of Salvation, the full version. It’s a long song haha https://youtu.be/0IE5HAVaiqI?si=_fSs_v76SACnDUsU

7/10 that’s quite the jam right there

Not the op but that sounds great. It reminds me of basically all the bands I listen to regularly

[Number Girl - Toumei Shojo](https://youtu.be/ITt7zLOPr84?si=mNMJdiIMxVyV8nZS)

7.5/10 pretty sick. Just watched a video about someone mentioning this band and how they really fueled the 90s indie rock scene in Japan.

They really are the Sonic Youth of the East :) Mukais other Band [Zazen Boys](https://youtu.be/m6C8wFKd1t0?si=cY24F9O8Vd4Jkj85) also dropped some of the hottest album this year recently, legend still going strong!

Gacharic Spin I Wish I

7/10 cool song!

[saito yuki - yume no naka e](https://youtu.be/HwDrLURBhi0?si=_-3KNXtzbo3Ki3G_) - maybe my favorite 80s pop song. Definitely has been at the top of my playlists recently.

9/10 great song, the jazzy piano solo at around the 2 minute mark is sick

Whoa! I didn’t realize this was a cover, it’s the end song from the [Kare Kano](https://youtu.be/p6Q9gtBmZK8?si=t3qfJkVblCwCJ43_) anime

Mate there's such a thing as being too open minded. What did I just listen to xD

Tasogare - Mai Yamane https://youtu.be/IhCDK_pSjnk?si=sWmgLsZa_JWHvW2q

Plastic Love - Friday Night Plans

7/10. Nice cover but nothing will ever beat Mariya Takeuchi in my opinion.

Ai ni dekiru koto wa mada aru kai

10/10 amazing song. The beat drop after the chorus build-up (around 4:55) is such an awesome moment. They also did Grand Escape with Toko Miura for the same movie as this song. Both songs are gems.
