マサ子さん - つちのこ男爵


okay, so here's another album by the always wonderful マサ子さん. this is probably my favorite album by them, as is the most concise and consistent in sound and quality. it's a beautiful masterpiece of kawaii~ chaos. this is the album that really defines マサ子さん for me, and was the very first album i ever heard by them, annnnnnd it's the album that solidified them as my favorite nagomu related band. they are the perfect combination of punk, pop, and new wave, and i don't know why i haven't spoken more about them, to be honest.

this album is fantastic from beginning to end, but the tracks that i replay the most would have to be "雨にヌレテモいーや", which is a really strange "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" homage, and "PSYNOMEY" which is just a really fucking catchy song. it kinda sound sinister, but not in a really threatening way. more in a cute way? i dunno, it's hard to explain.

anyways! grab this album ASAP, because it's one of my favorites.

  2. Love this!
    Could totally pass for a soundtrack to a children's TV show from the 80's. Far less chaotic and far more cutesy, accessible kiddy-pop than, say, your typical Picky Picnic release.

  3. i had a bit of trouble identifying this on itunes.

    couldn't remember what i downloaded, and whenever i would search for the kanji it wouldn't appear. had to look through my itunes library for masako-san (i don't know how to read kanji, so i was very confused. but they were the only new artist). identified the artist by the songs, which were mostly gibberish.

    recalled what i downloaded by googling the album name (which was on the file). lead me back to this page.

    TL;DR : i'm so glad you post the names of the songs. :)
