I don't expect to make a full-time living off running this newsletter or anything, but the support does help a lot, especially because finding work has been slow for me. There's a monthly donation option if you really want, but even a one-time is appreciated. Thanks for enjoying my work. 💜

My latest blog post is on track to be my best performing self-published piece to date, so I'd like to mention: I'm committing to post at least two per month from now on. They take a lot of time and effort and I won't ever paywall them, but if you wanna support me I have a Ko-fi page for donations!

Hello. For my newsletter, I wrote an essay about the compilation that got me into Japanese new wave. Tokyo Mobile Music is an imperfect package with a spotty history surrounding it, so I went ahead and filled in the gaps and wrote some liner notes for you myself.
