............................ anyways what do ya'll think her sound is going to evolve to? Pretty sure Lucid is a one time thing 

Pretty sure she'll stay in this rock-influenced / early 2000s pop sound for another album or two since it really worked well for her, but I really see her coming out with an indie rock/folk influenced album one day

[jvcx]

Wondering if the RINA LP reissue announcement is still happening this month or if it's been delayed to next year

[lamms]

so i finally came around to listen to the album and feel like the biggest clown for not doing so earlier

my favourites: xs, stfu! comme des garcons, akasaka sad, who's gonna save u now?, chosen family and the rest is just as good

[AKASAKA SAWAYAMA]

not gonna lie, lucid has kinda grown on me. it's like a wine that was made with some rotten milk. it aged well.

Rina Sawayama Does It All, And Now She’s Ready To Do More

Well fuck, when Kylie went to Nashville she recorded her worst album by far and also this...

 

Quote

But ‘Lucid’ was weird though because I was a bit hesitant to release a song that was so pop and dance. I thought ‘oh all these alternative people love my music’ or whatever. But, looking back, I’ve set a nice thing for myself because I’m doing so many different genres.

People don’t expect anything from me, which means I can give them everything.

 

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls]

Take Me as I Am is pop perfection holy shit 

[Heartmachine]

**Lucid intro intensifies**
 

“HUUUUHH-uhhh!”
 

(You know lately...)

 

“HUUUUHH-uhhh!”

 

(I’ve been dreaming... dreaming about you)

Bees & Honey is so good... 

It deserves to be longer than it is

It truly disappointed me, expected something different, either way I'm super happy you enjoy it and yeah, it's more like an interlude than a full track

[Glitter Boy]

I don't know but I've been bopping to Lucid lately, despite first hating on it  

Also, is she already working in another album? Restless queen!

right.. the screaming part could've easily been a bridge and then having a final chorus after it, would've been a solid 2 minute song

 

but the song is so fucking good like wow

Good idea! I'll try to extend it

It's crazy to read the first few pages here and seeing the uncertainty around SAWAYAMA before its release. She delivered one of the best pop albums in recent years...

Does anyone have links to her unreleased tracks like Terror? I can't seem to find them anywhere. I only have her standalone singles, the RINA EP, and the SAWAYAMA Deluxe (+ Tokyo Takover). Basically, the ones on streaming.

Rina and Clarence decided to scrap '6°' for good since they disliked the final result.

'How We Were Then' is definitely coming on a future release. It was even on the final tracklist draft for her debut back then, but it was ultimately scrapped.

how we were then is LITERALLY so good omfg

Thank you so much for the masterpost!

I HOPE. Knowing she said it would be released, I really expected it to be on the Deluxe . . . would've made perfect sense then. Leads me to believe there might be one final follow-up release - perhaps right before tour? - but IDK if she'd resurrect it for RS2? 

 

We'll see
