Notes

Quite a slim playlist and post today because work is in the final stretch for the event we are organising for. Multiple meetings and briefings take a lot out of me, and sometimes you do not feel like listening to music.

However, I did find a pocket of time where I started to delve into the new Japanese music from the 70s and 80s again. Somehow, it brightened the mood with a sort of hopeful charm. There is a certain excitement that there was something new in that era of popular music, and it really rubs off on me more than 30 years later.
