Hiroki Kikuta: Meridian Child
One listen. Felt myself running short early on so I consciously switched where I was going, and I think doing so worked. Hiroki Kikuta’s (菊田 裕樹) “Meridian Child” is from Seiken Densetsu 3 Original Sound Version, the soundtrack for Seiken Densetsu … Continue reading

Hiroki Kikuta: Powell
One listen. Went in, wrote the below. Surprising. Anyway, I wanted to try and build imagery as strongly as I could, but that didn’t work well. I started thinking too much about what it was that I was writing and … Continue reading

Tamba 4: Iemanjá
One listen. Went in, knocked it out, didn’t think too much which was good. I think the result could be stronger, but I also think it works really well. Perhaps not in terms of accurately representing the song, but at … Continue reading
Ayako Saso: The Forgotten Village
One listen. I think I could’ve said a lot more about atmosphere and painted a strong image. Didn’t, which is okay. Just could’ve done more. Ayako Saso’s (佐宗 綾子) “The Forgotten Village” (“忘れられた村”) is from the soundtrack for Folklore (aka Folks Soul … Continue reading

Yoichiro Yoshikawa: Invitation to the Underwater World
One listen. I’ve listened to this album a few times now, and I’m not sure why but this track caught me off guard. I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting it to be what it was, but I think that … Continue reading

Yoichiro Yoshikawa: Castle Nixe
One listen. Heard this song a few days ago, queued it up. Getting back into the swing of things (I hope), so need to get back to working on being on top of everything. And it is work, but I’ll … Continue reading

Kyojaku.: The Philosopher’s Refutation
One listen, though had to start again about a minute in. I tried to just talk about what was going on and I think I did well enough there. Could’ve used fewer words. Maybe. Kyojaku.’s (虚弱。) “The Philosopher’s Refutation” (“哲学者の論破“) … Continue reading

Quruli: Sea Silent
One listen. To be honest, I was thinking this would be something a bit different to what it is. Don’t know why, but I was. I think misplaced expectation helped, however. I’m not quite able to switch off at the … Continue reading
The Goslings: Windowpane
One listen. Went in, did it, got out. Bit loose, bit uncertain, but I think I did well here. The Goslings’ “Windowpane” is from Grandeur of Hair. Heads up: if you decide to listen to it, it’s an intense listen. I … Continue reading

Quruli: Army
One listen. This is a song I’d describe as being highly emotive, and it is. I tried to get some of that out but I feel I was unwilling to go far enough. Quruli’s (くるり) “Army” is from The World is … Continue reading
