Form & function

The apostrophe in "4 Bonjour's Parties" makes more sense when one considers that Japanese uses the possessive for a lot of description.

What's striking for me is how the sound is freewheeling and expansive in a very restrained and minimalistic way. The music also manages to be polite, which I figure only a Japanese band could truly pull of this well.

Add on some wistful innocent melodies and you've got a perfect soundtrack to an indie flick about a little boy in a small town that manages to [insert offbeat, yet endearing aim] despite equally offbeat and endearing complications.

But all of it with much, much love.
