Tokyo Love Hotel 

[Alex_1991]

They were raving about this on the Legends Only podcast, now I have to listen!

[Livin4art]

So I listened to the album , don't know didn't hear anything special , xs is good and bad friend is cute , but the rest of the songs didn't do it for me 

[Livin4art]

Has anybody heard “SAWAYAMA”because if you haven’t, yr missing out on some great music  all I can say is the album is just plain fantastic, slaying, pretty, rocking, thrilling , nostalgic, J-Pop, pop, alternative in the same time   There are confident songs like Commes de garçon (can I mention how much this song sounds like do you wanna come over from britney), who’s gonna save you know (AHHHHHHHH MY DAMN WIG), XS (I cannot  it’s too good) and dynasty.

Then it has early 2000s anime bangers like paradis’in (that’s the bomb sis ), Tokyo’s love hotel (ugh my ears) and chosen family. Guilty songs like bad friend () Sad bops like chosen family ()and plain bops and banger should like ASAKA SAD and snakeskin. Plus the album sounds sooo 80s-early 2000s (omg yessss).

Overall this album is just outstanding and deserves to get a nomination for Grammy album of the year the album also reminds me a lot of Britney’s “in the zone” albumman looking rn, music released this year is just so solid I mean we got music like future nostalgia, rare, after hours, say so and now this! I hope this year will be the revival of pop what do you guys think of SAWAYAMA? Let me know in the thread below

the album is OK, but it was like those albums that are almost perfect, the problem is the lyrics, it need to be more mature, she could reedit the album.

For example AKASAKA SAD would be SMASH HIT on she was focused on a ending of a relationship.bad friend is like cheetah girl song, who's gonna save u now would be another hit if she could worked a little bit more on the lyrics.

Thx when I basically hear about an album, that sounds good, that’s when I start listening to the record that’s how I was able to discover awesome album likes thriller, confessions on the dance floor, melodrama, balloons don’t float here (Isaac Durban), high road , future love sounds, don’t smile at me,  kid krow, Abbey road Andy so many other great albums.

No dear don’t worry I’m not lying

[RATCHET❤]

Love her since 10-20-40!! 

finally queen is getting recognition 

it reminds me so much of Brit early 00's.

People have different tastes dahling 

The album is pretty good but I'm not gonna love it after 1 play duh .... Same with lemonade I didn't love it on the first play I thought it was kind of boring/weird ....

[DarkOut]

I've heard and liked two of these songs so far. I need to listen to the rest. I've been following her on SoundCloud for IDK how long and I LOOOOVE XS. 

[quaterpast3]

I really like her voice and sound. Maybe it's just me, but she was giving me different pop queen vibes in certain songs.
Comme des Garcons - Britney
XS - Stacie Oricco
**** This World - Utada Hikaru
STFU - Ayumi Hamasaki
Love Me 4 Me - Lady Gaga-esque? So Happy I Could Die-ish? lol

XS-Me against the music

Tokyo love hotel- don’t hang up

[Urbanney]

I just started listening to this album due to the hype and critic praise. I went in without absolutely no knowledge of what it'd sound like or who the artist is. I couldn't even finish the first song. I made it through the 2nd one and stopped the 3rd 20 seconds in. I couldn't do it 

I have discovered that this is absolutely NOT my genre lol
