Yellow Magic Orchestra – 東風
Another one of those bands I'm surprised we haven't played.

Yuko Uebayashi – Au Delà du Temps
I've started listening to a lot more classical music in the last year*, mainly by streaming MPR's classical station. By luck, I heard this flute piece by Yuko Uebayashi and was thoroughly hooked.
*It's interesting how technology can shape our listening habits. I had been working from home on my personal laptop since the pandemic hit, but the IT department was upgrading laptops, so I finally got one. It's a big improvement for doing work (larger screen, easier access to stuff on the server), but I don't have any sort of music streaming service on it, so my listening habits shifted accordingly.
Ichiko Aoba – Dawn in the Adan
Sadistic Mika Band – Time To Noodle / Suki Suki Suki
Some hardcore funk to close out the fiscal quarter.

Please ignore the overtly racist titling in the background...
CHAI – Curly Adventure
Amusingly, I picked up this album the same day as Otoboke Beaver's album. While there are some similarities in their messages, CHAI takes a very different path to get there.
おとぼけビーバー – 脱・日陰の女
My Best of 2019 is without question Otoboke Beaver. In fact, they should be hitting the stage about the same time this video posts.
Yui – Again

This is the opening theme from the first season of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
おとぼけビ~バ~ – Love Is Short!!
This is normally outside of my wheelhouse, but I picked up their most recent and I LOVE IT!
Melt-Banana – Infection Defective
I started this post about 7 months ago and found it in the drafts. I have no idea what the inspiration to play it was...
