To: Crecente From: Bash Cleaned out a bunch of CDs this morning. (CDs, I know!) Found a bunch of old UA discs. Back when we were dating, Mrs. Bashcraft gave me a couple of UA’s [[link]] CDs. I always feel tremendous gratitude when someone introduces me to music I end up loving and cherishing.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); UA is an Osaka-born (Suita City!) popstar — but she’s not quite pop any more and has become increasingly experimental. For my money, she’s hands down the most interesting Japanese vocalist of the past twenty years. She’s a powerful voice that can handle pop, R&B, jazz, children’s songs, whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rM5zJrxvTM Her song “Taiyo Te ni Tsuki wa Kokoro [[link]] no Ryote ni” is fantastic. The CD Mrs. Bashcraft loaned to me so many moons ago is AMETORA. The entire album is stellar, but personal favorites are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khgqYZQi6gU “Milk Tea” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms3XnJv2XM0 …and “Oyako basha basha”. Her new stuff is fantastic as well. Terribly sorry for sharing like this! Was feeling rather sentimental today, and whenever I hear these songs, it reminds me of my early days [[link]] in Japan.
