Ichiko aoba is so masterful with her lyricism and melody writing, it all ties together cohesively into an image or story or whatever sheās conveying. this new album of hers is genuinely one of her bests (along with qp). I feel like Iām swimming with jellyfish and glittery sea stars, or Iām walking thru a post-apocalypse world alone.. delicious delicious delicious delicious

this video is incredibleā¦ god it makes me want to sob until my eyes bleed because of how beautiful it is. first off, ichiko aoba is one of my favorite artists ever. although i dont understand japanese(and therefore do not understand what she is singing about a majority of the time), her musical arrangements and melodies feel like ten soft fingers massaging my brainfolds like UGHFHHHHHHhhā¦. her music is just mesmerizing. anyway, this music video seems to be the visual first teaser among three singles preceding her upcoming album āLuminescent Creaturesā. the shots are so masterfully curated, every one earning its own artful moment in the video. the colors, the grain, the cuts, the camerawork, the visual effects, the song, everything hits extraordinarily i canāt recommend it enough.

this is one of my favorite albums ever ā very lush and vivid, yet also sparse and delicate at the same time in keeping with aobaās usual style. lots of gorgeous field recordings (yay ocean sounds!) and sweeping orchestral arrangements
if i recall correctly it was conceived of by aoba as a soundtrack of sorts for a (fictional, non-existent) film about a girl with psychic powers who gets exiled to the island Adan. the wildlife welcome her but then die because they have such short lives. she also soon dies but gets reincarnated as multiple different creatures. very interesting and beautiful stuff
