hallo, just listened to listened to Hiroshi Yoshimura's Green . very calming, very relaxing, just what i needed to get through work in the dead of night. it's 45mins and the time passed by really fast. i didn't even notice the music turned off until 5 minutes later because i was so in the zone. it's stimulating but not distracting. good for background noise. if you have the attention span » Continue Reading
had this come on my youtube suggested feed today, immediately felt calm within the first minute of hearing the nostalgic sounds of nature. Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆) - Blessings Of The Forest (森の恵み) (199X) [Full Album] . drinking a cold cup of green tea and listening to this on a hot summer day is really giving me a much-needed refresh this weekend. nothing else to say other than everyone » Continue Reading

They seemed to be on the brink of disappearing, and even went on hiatus in 2023, but have had a comeback by "[entering] into ... » Continue Reading
hallo, i finished binge-watching the Steven Universe series (og series, movie, and future) a few weeks back, and I still can't stop thinking about it. It's such a precious, well-aged show.
