#MusicSky #音楽 🎙️松田聖子 [Seiko Matsuda] 💿A Girl In The Wonderland (2013) "Growth", "evolution" and "variety" are often demanded of artists with long careers. In Seiko's case, I like the fact that I can pick any of her 50+ albums and get my necessary dose of Candy Pop to get me through this harsh world.

Like everything #KylieMinogue does, this is one classy documentary. The tone is just right: not too guarded (a first for Kylie), but not too indulgent either. Most fans will ugly cry during the last 20 minutes (I did), and that sudden cut to the credits is exhilarating. Long live the Goddess of Pop!

I'll always be in the trenches for this one! #ToriAmos

Speaking of rewatching things, I've got the excellent #Charmed remaster on Blu-ray. Pure comfort TV: that first season is even cozier than I remembered! No wonder Shannen Doherty was immortalized by it: she did 66 episodes, a number that most shows now rarely achieve with their short seasons.

I was watching some video essays on #LOST Again, getting older made me realize that each character's spiritual journey was indeed way more important than the sci-fi answers my frustrated younger self wanted so badly back then. I need to do a proper rewatch in the near future.

Congratulations to @toriamos.bsky.social and Fontana Records! 'In Times of Dragons' has entered the UK chart at #13. You have to go back to '98 and 'From the Choirgirl Hotel' for a studio album that charted higher! 👏👏 There's around 100 copies of the blu-ray left > bit.ly/4cp4GLO

#NowPlaying 🎙️ 山本達彦 [Tatsuhiko Yamamoto] 💿 突風 [Sudden Wind] (1979) What a beautiful, classy and warm debut. It was love at first listen. There's a Nick Drake aura on those songs in terms of melancholic beauty that naturally overflows from them. Perfect for a quiet morning. #MusicSky #音楽

[Most streamed artists - April] A clear sign of middle age is the fact that my tastes are practically crystalized by now. I've already found my core interests, so I'm always listening to my favorite artists instead of keeping up with whatever Gen Z is doing. The generational gap is real. #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️ Madonna 💿 The Confessions Tour (2006) 20 years of one of Madonna's best eras/concerts. In my humble opinion, the definitive versions of Like A Virgin, Let It Will Be and Erotica come from this live performance. Mandatory Record Store Day purchase for me. #vinyl #MusicSky

I don't know about you guys, but I woke up today in this tragic world feeling that my existence makes a little bit of sense. This happens every time #ToriAmos releases a new album, of course. I love how her peculiar worlds/words feel so familiar to me. Welcome back, Mother Dragon! #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️ Melanie C 💿 Northern Star (1999) The eternal Sporty Spice is releasing her 9th solo album this week. I felt like revisiting her debut this evening. Be The One, Closer and I Turn To You (both versions) are still my favorites from this solid record. #Vinyl #MusicSky #SpiceGirls

“Tori Amos at her most Tori Amos – ⭐⭐⭐⭐” Myths, muses, lizard demons, and a parable for Trumpian times - Tori Amos continues to enchant on remarkable 18th album, In Times Of Dragons. Read MOJO’s review and the tracklisitng in full...

#NowPlaying 🎙️ 松田聖子 [Seiko Matsuda] 💿 2020/2021 Japan, stop making my wallet scream! This glorious Super Deluxe box set [2LP+SHM-CD+Blu-ray+giant booklet] collects Seiko's 40th and 41st anniversary albums on #vinyl Both are titled after the perfect numerical match of their respective release dates.

This is exactly how a #ToriAmos album should be summarized. Love her mind!

A gentle reminder of how streaming services suck and how we must not take physical media for granted: at least ten albums by one of my favorite Japanese singers, 山本達彦 (Tatsuhiko Yamamoto), vanished from the platforms overnight. Sayōnara, dear playlists! Good thing I bought them on #vinyl last year!

#ToriAmos for novices in a nutshell. Always an intelligent and creative force for the greater good. I never get tired of saying she's my favorite artist on this planet. youtu.be/t28KHlJ5g7s?...

#NowPlaying 🎙️大貫妙子 [Taeko Onuki] 💿Pure Acoustic (1996) [Reissued 2020] Most Western audiences restrict themselves to Onuki's infectious songs linked to the so-called City Pop genre Those are great, but I urge them to dig deeper into her more poetic, introspective works as well. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽

#NowPlaying 🎙️Roberta Sá 💿Quando O Canto É Reza (2010) Roberta's third album is an homage to songwriter Roque Ferreira and to Brazil's rich cultural tapestry. The superb Trio Madeira Brasil provides their intricate guitar arrangements over some amazing percussion. #vinyl #MusicSky #BrazilianMusic

#NowPlaying 🎙️ #ToriAmos 💿Abnormally Attracted To Sin (2009) The Goddess is on tour, and it's nice to see some tracks from this very underrated album popping up. 'Fire To Your Plain' and 'Give' have been played recently and the magnificent 'Lady In Blue' graced her latest live album #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowPlaying this one again. One of the best Pop albums of the year, certainly got me shook! Loved when people said she came to take the helm while Carly Rae Jepsen is on maternity leave. Haha This is a high compliment as far as I'm concerned. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️Garbage 💿Anthology 1995-2022 Such a satisfying compilation. I revisit it all the time. So nice to have '#1 Crush' mingling with the big girls, where it belongs. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️Madonna 💿Erotica (1992) I haven't been posting much lately due to a planned low-buy year in music and reduced screen time. But today will be full of house chores, so let's start things up with this top 3 #Madonna album filled with the finest 90s beats and moods. #vinyl #MusicSky #マドンナ

One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever read on Tori's creative force. That intro alone is worth millions. Well done, Sir!

#NowSpinning 🎙️松田聖子 [Seiko Matsuda] 💿Bible -pink & blue- Special Edition (2023) Seiko-chan has released more than 50 albums! But fear not: this 3-disc selection covers the first half of her catalog. 57 songs encompassing singles, b-sides and essential album tracks. A Bible, indeed! #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Tension Tour Live (2025) I'm still playing this one incessantly. A killer setlist with perfect transitions between songs. One of the best catalogs in Pop music. And the physical release is absolutely stunning! #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️山本達彦 (Tatsuhiko Yamamoto) 💿Alive And Well (1987) A lively concert centered on some of his most up-tempo and rock-oriented tracks. Japanese music from the 80s just has a magical, glittering feeling to it, doesn't it? I never get tired of it. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Body Language (2003) The furthest thing from being 'Fever Part 2', it took me years to properly digest the sound of this record In retrospect, it was a bold move that still feels unique in her catalog. 'Slow' is, of course, a quintessential Kylie track #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kylie Minogue 💿Fever (2001) I have vivid memories of Kylie becoming one of the biggest Popstars in the world when this album was released It's always a pleasure to revisit its sweet electropop goodness and massive singles. 'Love At First Sight' is my absolute favorite #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowPlaying 🎙️今井美樹 (Miki Imai) 💿Smile (2026) Imai returns with her 21st studio album of new material after eight years, celebrating her 40th anniversary. The first-press limited edition comes with a full concert from the 2023 tour on Blu-ray disc. #MusicSky #J-Pop #音楽 #CD #CompactDisc

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿Ray Of Light (1998) Let's cut to the chase: this is one of the greatest Pop albums of all time. 'Nothing Really Matters' is probably my favorite Madonna track. Its crowning as the lead song on the Celebration tour felt like divine justice. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️中森明菜 (Akina Nakamori) 💿Complete Single Collection: The First Ten Years (2009) Every single and b-side by the queen of tragic love during her iconic imperial phase in the 80s. 4 discs, 56 tracks. #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Hilary Duff 💿luck... or something (2026) Duff is almost 40, and this low-key, surprisingly great Pop album is the ideal entry point to a new adult audience who, like myself, won't necessarily backtrack to her early teen music. A perfectly executed return/rebranding #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tori Amos 💿Strange Little Girls (2001) Tori is my favorite artist. A legendary singer, songwriter and piano player who is also a master in turning any song into her own thing. This album of covers is an essential part of her canon, finally on vinyl. Highly recommended #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿Bedtime Stories (1994) Such a good album for laying back and chilling. Love the cool, bass-heavy songs and the overall mood of this record. 'Human Nature' remains one of her most iconic songs. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽 #マドンナ

February on #streaming stats. I finally took a deep dive into Seiko Matsuda's 50+ studio albums!!! More on her soon #松田聖子 #HilaryDuff did a hell of a career reboot. The album is very good! The rest is my usual mix of classic Pop, Standards, Brazilian music and Japanese favorites. #MusicSky #音楽

The best part of doing a low-buy year in music is finally having the time/urge to revisit and listen to box sets in their entirety. I'm on a vintage Japanese Popular music kick, having a blast with these multi-disc collections. #MusicSky #音楽 #ユーミン #今井美樹 #雅夢 #松山千春 #来生たかお #CD #CompactDisc

#NowSpinning 🎙️松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutoya) 💿ユーミンからの、恋のうた (2018) [45th Anniversary Best Album] Her discography is so massive that another 3-disc box set was released with 45 songs that didn't make it to the previous one. Combined, they offer 91 tracks to both diehards and newcomers. #MusicSky #ユーミン #音楽

Oh, the memories! Disc 2 definitely made me a fan back then. Three of my all-time favorite songs are on it: あの日に帰りたい (Those were the days) 海を見ていた午後 (One afternoon by the sea) シンデレラ・エクスプレス (Cinderella Express) *Titles in English are official adaptations used on streaming services.

#NowSpinning 🎙️松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutoya) 💿日本の恋と、ユーミンと。(2012) (40th Anniversary Best Of) This wonderful 3-disc compilation was my first contact with her music. Sentimental value aside, it still holds up as one of the best curated and sequenced selections from her catalog. 46 tracks. #MusicSky #ユーミン #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Madonna 💿Like A Prayer (1989) Madonna isn't just a singles artist. There are too many excellent album tracks and overlooked minor hits that even her best compilations can't truly do her catalog justice. Each album should be savored in their entirety if you ask me. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Norah Jones 💿Not Too Late (2007) My favorite Norah album. Melodic, political and poetic. Songs such as Sinkin' Soon, My Dear Country and Wake Me Up are sadly more relevant than ever. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutoya) 💿YUMING BANZAI! (2022) Yuming, as she was affectionately nicknamed, had 39 studio albums to celebrate with this 50th Anniversary compilation. An impossible task for a 3-disc box set, but it does provide a good glimpse of her unique, massive catalog #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Kate Bush 💿Lionheart (1978) Kate's magical music needs no additional commentary at this point. Let me just say that I never get tired of looking at this beautiful Japanese pressing. The design of that obi is a chef's kiss. #vinyl #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Ella Fitzgerald 💿Twelve Nights In Hollywood (Recordings: 1961, 1962. Released: 2010) This essential 4-disc set captured peak Ella during relaxed and intimate performances at the Crescendo club. A broad selection of 77 tracks, not a single overlap. Mama worked HARD! #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️今井美樹 (Miki Imai) 💿Colour (2015) Easy Listening and MOR music are SO valuable for language learning. Imai's melodic, "easy to follow and translate" songs have been around me since my beginner years of Japanese. Track 1, Anniversary, was the first Japanese song I learned! #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Mariah Carey 💿Daydream (1995) An album that changed Pop music forever, with its elements still being reflected 30 years later even after the end of monoculture. Just listen to 'Fantasy', 'Underneath The Stars', 'Always Be My Baby', 'Long Ago' and 'Looking In'. #vinyl #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Tori Amos 💿Under The Pink (1994) I'm still counting the days 'til Tori's new record on May 1st. A perfect excuse to keep (re)playing her classics in the meantime. Rhino delivered a very good pressing/mastering with this 2LP pink #vinyl edition reissued in 2021. #MusicSky

#NowSpinning 🎙️Roberta Sá 💿Que Belo Estranho Dia Para Se Ter Alegria (2007) Roberta's sophomore album earned critical acclaim and commercial success, making her an established Samba singer in Brazil with a promising long career that came to be. A beautiful reissue 🪷 #vinyl #MusicSky #BrazilianMusic

#NowSpinning 🎙️キリンジ (KIRINJI) 💿Town Beat (2026) Takaki Horigome's one-man band is back with a new studio album (his 17th), with references that range from Motown beats (hence the title) to Caetano Veloso's 1997 album 'Livro' on the excellent track 8 ベランダから (The View From Our Balcony). #MusicSky #音楽

#NowSpinning 🎙️Björk 💿Biophilia (2011) And this is probably the Björk album I play the most. I'm fascinated with the universe to the point of reading astronomy books for fun! My love for Björk and the cosmos in one place? Perfect. #vinyl #MusicSky #ビョーク #レコード #音楽 #宇宙 #天文学 #本
