JohnnyoftheWell also nice work sniffing out that Kamisama no iu toori single lol, fun gem. Etsuko Yakushimaru's band Soutaisei Riron's debut is an indie pop classic Junji Ishiwatari played guitar and wrote lyrics for Supercar, whose full career is a glorious zeitgeist snapshot and full of highlights May 17 12:21 AM
