Wind is one of her most nostalgic songs for me.
It makes me feel sad somehow haha. Such a good time in my life, and that feeling of discovering new things...


I don’t feel the same about her newer music as I do about her older stuff, but I really loved her work up until maybe Trick. This is more J-POP in general, though. I feel like a weird shift happened around 2009. Actually Japan itself I feel had a shift. It’s like, there was a sexiness about the early to mid 2000s and then by the 2010s it feels like a conservative movement took hold again and it was like the death of “ero-kakkoii”. But I digress...

Anyway, 2000~2006... man. So many amazing songs! Like Cutie Honey... the production value is crazy. Chase too! J-POP used to feel expensive xD (I just happened to listen recently lol)
