Here’s my first try at a spring mix this year. I wanted to channel some sort of picopop japanese sound with some warm hues of psychedelic sound thrown in between to balance it out. Something I was trying… wanting it to sound, innocent, green and sunny. It comes very close to what I had in mind but it’s still not perfect. Might need to make a few more attempts on the spring theme until I’m completely satisfied with it.
Play it on a lazy morning while having breakfast for maximum enjoyment.

Great stuff here, Moka. I’m a bit of a Japanophile, so it’s great to hear something from Japan outside of my usual realm of Japanese Hip-hop.
YMO is always a win.
jj !!!!!!!!!!
This set surprisingly worked with a new yorker article about a couple moving back to the US from China. A funny and wonderful article, read it:

Ruben: Don’t have a New Yorker subscription :( Been seriously thinking about buying one though.
