World of Echo Modern take on techno kayō (which as you guessed, means it's a bit vaporwave adjacent).

ただすけ Sivutieという傑作を生み出した後にどんな作品を発表するのか気になっていた。肩にチカラの入っていない、健やかな楽曲群であった。彼女が作り続ける限り、こちらも聴き続けていきたい。谢谢啦 Favorite track: 風在吹.

about

Tokyo is big. Tokyo is messy. Tokyo is futuristic. Tokyo is everything all at once. It’s this image of Japan’s capital that Noah draws inspiration from for her latest album, Thirty.

From the sweeping, mystical feel of the intro – like a portal into the world of the city – to tracks like ‘メルティン・ブルー’ that clank deliciously with ‘80s Hong Kong pop minimalism, Noah’s tracks also feature a mellow Chinese taste.

Following a trip to Chinatown, she noticed the bustling feel of the place, its life and its noise, and for her it became a microcosm of Tokyo: an associated image. Thirty is named for the age around which Noah was making these tracks and is a culmination of three years living in Tokyo.

Noah is originally from the snow and ice of Hokkaido. Tokyo is another world for her, somewhere that clinks with decadent vaporwave majesty and glitz, but equally somewhere cluttered with people and their dreams. Urgency runs through Thirty, whether it’s the panic of ‘愛天使占’, the analogue electro-disco feel in ‘像自己’, or the rapid-fire hi-hats that typify many of the tracks, sufficiently summoning city life.

But, like the faded neon of the past and vaporwave of inspirations, the draw to Noah’s Tokyo is idealised, both in its grit and in its glamour—take the late-night romance of ‘夢幻泡影’, for example, or the slow, decayed collage of beats and synth in ‘風在吹’.

With her ghostly vocals weaving their way through everything, Noah tells us the story of the Tokyo she wanted to inhabit with a diary of lo-fi, synth-soaked songs pockmarked with drum machines and all the chaos and nostalgia the city has to offer.

I blame this album for making me love 30's music. This album does an amazing job at telling a story with only music. It's pure art. Nooahtroll19

Water Memory / Mount Vision
by Emily A. Sprague

supported by 8 fans who also own “Thirty”

This album (& Hill, Flower Fog) sound almost like someone just kind of deedling around with synthesizer settings - a big wash here, an oo-OO pulse there - and suddenly you've lost all sense of time and the album is over and you're putting it on again. Effortless effort. (Synth 1 cannot be selected as a favorite track, which is a crime. It hits like a tidal wave.) Mister Meows
