That was such a great read. Loved hearing about your connection to her music through her various projects. The story of how you ended up meeting her at what seemed to be quite an intimate show was lovely as well. That's so rad that she recognized you, those are memories to cherish now!
Looking forward to digging into the music too! I'm especially intrigued by Sebastian X as one of the songs embedded ("Yeah") slightly reminded me of Passepied. It seems to be giving a similar vibe as other Japanese acts I was big into in the mid 10s, so it's making me quite nostalgic!
Thank you so much for your kind words Alexandra! The 10th solo anniversary compilation albums that Ms Nagahara is currently releasing every week are definitely a comprehensive place to start with her music, as they contain songs from across all her past projects!
Passepied were one of the first Japanese bands I got into, too! Now that you mention them, I think they may have also played a role in how I eventually discovered Ms Nagahara’s music!
I’ll be attending her birthday live show this month, which I’ll be posting about on SNS as well as documenting for a future article and video! I look forward to sharing that experience with everyone!
