the ocean

thank you i need to pull my vinyl out and actually contribute to this thread lmao

well i guess that’s one less problem

i would expect this immaculate taste to come from a shiina ringo stan

taylor should release the re-recordings of self titled, speak now & 1989 (minus shake it off) one by one (like each song) in 2 week increments and then release the vault tracks when the albums release she never will but i want to be delusional

I thought she couldn't release reputation until then do we know the masters that are NOT owned by scooter so we can create a safe to stream list (besides the taylor's versions and the post-reputation albums)

I agree the Kingdom Hearts trilogy of songs are great. (They're even better in Japanese.) Also they recently came out as nonbinary so please use they/them pronouns thanks

I couldn't find a thread for this legend aside from the J-pop thread but they deserve their own thread, so please discuss the magnificent music of Hikaru Utada here. Selected videos: and of course the kingdom hearts trilogy cough cough @EXODUS

marina what happened between 2016 and 2021

manifesting safe and sound & eyes open to appear on speak now (taylor's version)

i BELIEVE she has everything re-recorded but i'm also not a taylor super stan so @Cherry Blossom or anyone else who is could answer this better

i know

how about a speak now / 1989 double release?

combined with the leakmas disappointment and my thread flopping i'm just gonna bop over here

how did this get through the mod queue

hawaiian tropic

did anybody like the hidden track where lana sang the entire catalog of recorded american music BACKWARDS this woman i swear

baby (feat. janet jackson) when

SOMEONE COMMENTED you're welcome queen

Maybe one or two people on here have wondered who is the woman that I have photoshopped next to Lana in my profile pic? Or the 2 people situated in my signature? Well random person I'm glad you asked! pizzicato five ; the lanaboards thread part 1: @The Ocean who & why the f**k Pizzicato Five - aka my ultimate faves - was a Japanese group that in it's final formation consisted of Maki Nomiya (left) and Yasuharu Konishi (right). They were pioneers in the J-pop subgenre known as shibuya-kei, a style combining 60's chanson, ye-ye and 90's dance pop. Pizzicato Five additionally used a lot of samples in their work which has caused a lag in their music being uploaded to streaming services. (at my expense ) I'm making this thread because A. Their music slaps and I want to spread the word of Maki and B. The 60's/70's influences could strike a chord with the member base here. Any people experiencing The 90's TM might've heard their songs "Baby Love Child", "Twiggy Twiggy" or "Happy Sad", the former being used in a Futurama episode. part 2: discography Pizzicato Five released 13 albums over the span of their career, with the last 9 of them featuring Maki Nomiya on lead vocals. In addition, they also released 5 compilations intended for the US market through the indie label Matador. After the break up of the group, Maki Nomiya has since gone on to model (because she is the moment) and release new music; Yasuharu Konishi has gone on to write & produce for other artists as well as curate compilations of obscure material from the 50's~70's. part 3: where you can stream/download & ending Because of aforementioned samples as well as Japan loving to not make music available internationally, their music is withheld from streaming services WITH THE EXCEPTION of 4 recently released compilations (which IMO seem very haphazardly compiled). As much as I would love to, I cannot post any links to any full album downloads here because of Lanaboards rules. (I know that this is already known but I'm rephrasing because I'm not getting warning points or banned and that's that.) I will include streaming links & YouTube links to the (Maki Nomiya) albums that are available on those platforms in the spoiler below! And with this said, please either discuss the iconic music or call for my banning for creating useless threads in the music section.

you're just mad cause you got a bad deal babe

inspired by the lana itunes thread

if you're talking about a gift that you didn't ask for but you still ended up appreciating it, my grandparents got me a photography book (like a photography for dummies type book) and even though i've been an amateur photographer for almost 5 years now i still reference it from time to time just to refresh my brain if you're talking about a gift that i didn't want like at all and i hated it then i can't remember cause i've ended up liking every gift i've gotten as far as i know not a when question but have you had any crazy or interesting holiday experiences?

holding up this thread with the power of mimi because does anyone even know the words

HOUNDS OF LOVE STANS who get nominated for nothing ASSEMBLE
