One Of The Greatest Japanese Albums Of All Time | Part 2 

hi! i'm actually the one who wrote most of the content on the wikipedia page, and i was really surprised to see you used my article as a source. thank you for crediting it, and i hope i was able to provide good information for your video! really well done!

What's interesting is Ichiko Aoba no longer performs "Adan Shima no Tanjousai" as its own name - she calls it "Luminescent Creatures" now.

It's finally out! I was looking forward to your second video on Ichiko Aoba. She's one of my favorite artists.

dope video, totally missed all the interconnected motifs on first listen. all the imagery and context made my relisten so much better today. wish I was at the concert lol

Thank you, I was looking forward to this video so much

5:30 I want to help clarify these definitions: Shima Uta has historically been a term used on Amami Oshima rather than the Okinawan archipelago, to refer to their songs, literally meaning "Island Song". In modern times, this term was famously used and brought to broader discourse by the mainland Japanese band THE BOOM in their song, titled "Shima-Uta" which discuss themes of the tragic Battle of Okinawa. What makes this term very confusing is that the culture of Amami is quite distinct to that of the rest of Okinawa, despite having significant overlap and has historically been a strange transition area between mainland Japan and the Okinawan islands. Moreover, the term was rarely used on the "main" Okinawan islands but the use of it on the title of a song about Okinawa has led to Okinawans to begin using the term despite it being technically wrongly used, especially as the song began to receive widespread recognition. I've found that based off the research I've done on this topic, the impact of this band, THE BOOM, on Okinawan discourse is quite significant and very interesting. Perhaps that could be a topic you look into in the future!

the most ethereal sounding album i have ever heard. i wish i knew about her earlier because her tour in my country was last year

I'm very happy to have found your channel. I've been a fan of Ichiko Aoba for almost 2 years now but learning more about her and her songs was really interesting! Thank you for uploading this and the previous video

Awesome vid brah. I love seein ppl talk about my fav artists and this one really set my mood

You should make a video on album recommendations my playlist needs more peak

I fucking love Ichiko Aoba’s music! I am waiting for the time where she will perform in Poland cuz I really want to go for her live concert without heaving to spend my monthly earnings as a student!

Buen video, saludos de Chile

U.U.F.O.

I greatly dislike when RU-vidrs title music critique videos this way, I'll give it a shot later anyways, but it irks me a lot.
