probably the most proto-earthbound i've heard from suzuki's previous work

this song by miki nakatani and ryuichi sakamoto has a certain ethereal earthbound-y quality, i think

oh, that's blocked for me but now I'm curious. I love that first nakatani album that sakamoto produced. which one? "chronic love"?

oh that's annoying, this one should work

song in question is track 2, 雨だれ ("amadare" ["raindrops"])
i think this is her best album, futuristic micropop w/ impressive production work from sakamoto and nobukazu takemura. love the peak y2k aesthetic / gen-x soft club cover art

^Excellent pull, has both the longing sweetness of something like "Smiles and Tears" AND a touch the weirdo electronica that soundtrack does so well. Also thank you for making me aware George Riley has a new album out!
