the production is extremely creative. the seamless blend of heavy metal and early 2000s pop is excellent. the lyrics and topics discussed were also refreshing in general. it‘s just amazing to see someone achieve such a cohesive and layered sound for their debut album.

there's obviously the whole culture and fandom and the ways people characterise the characters themselves, which is a whole other matter (gotta stan KAITO, what a dork) but even just from a music perspective, i've been listening to so much of it again lately (my thirteen year old self would be delighted to hear it) and people are so creative i love it! there are so many really talented producers and project sekai has been somewhat of a gateway into me finding new ones (like the producer r-906 and the song heat abnormal) :)

Self produced maximalist masterpiece from one of Japan’s most respected female musicians. It’s not that weird a rec I guess, but I never hear anyone talk about her, and for western standards the production is pretty strange. I wouldn’t know what genre to place it in, and I love that about it.

a bubbly, girly, japanese synthpop album from the early 80s that wasn't on streaming until very recently! it's a little goofy sometimes but all in good fun and sonically it's very unique.
Ryuichi Sakamoto of Yellow Magic Orchestra had a big hand in the production and actually got married to Akiko Yano a bit after the album and they were together until he passed in 2023.
