Although I spend a decent amount of listening time on Japanese music, I’ve always felt that I don’t really have the ability to actually critique their music (it’s complicated), which is why I don’t have any favorite Japanese artists.
It will change in the future, though!
- Favorite tracks:
- Inside Mr.Bin by Cá Hồi Hoang
- The Veldt by deadmau5 ft. Chris James
- Alice in 冷凍庫 by Orangestar w/ めありー
- ハルカ by 36g.
I’d say these 3 tracks represent most of my music taste. Alternatively, you can check out the list of music tracks I like on my Featured tracks page.

Made-up questions
Q: Do you just not use any kind of social media?
A: Somewhere in 2021-2022, I quit using Facebook because I just felt like it. I have never used any other mainstream SNS platform other than Facebook and Twitter. Currently, the only SNS platform that I am actively using is Mastodon (see Fediverse).
Q: How did you quit Facebook?
A: I quit because I just hate people on there and it is time-consuming.
Q: Where are you on the political spectrum?
A: At the center or nowhere at all. I enjoy being able to criticize all sides.
Q: Are you a weeb?
A: Unlike most weebs, I don’t really have great interest in the Japanese culture and media. I also don’t blindly worship Japan and hold quite a lot of negative opinions on various aspects of Japan.
I do have a great interest in anime-styled illustrations though, but I’d consider that as appreciating art and nothing else.
Support
I have a Liberapay account in case somebody wants to offer me financial support.
