arcanaria « translucent girl (Translucent Girl)» – even if the musical focus has clearly shifted towards Japan and also into styles that are new to me, my preference for music outside the mainstream remains. And so I'm always happy when I can introduce a previously small and unknown band. Like arcanaria, for example, a trio that has been active since 2022 and has released 3 EPs/mini albums and a few singles during that time. They mix dream pop with typical Japanese vocals and chords, and their song “Translucent Girl” from the new EP “君と僕だけが見ている世界 (A world seen only by you and me)” is a perfect example of this. Very wonderful music!
Healthy Wills «It's a love cult!» – somehow I didn’t realize that the Swedish band was still active and even released a new single a few months ago. Very snappy music, as you're used to from the boys.
