My photo will fail to do it justice.
I have always loved this city, and this week (I believe my 12th visit here?) only added fuel to that fire.
Whether it's hanging with my people here
The food (can't recommend Kyube enough -- I've posted about it here before)
The sheer volume of amazing record stores throughout the city
Or little back alleyways that yield surprises, mom and pop shops you've never known about
Or the city's parks which are so serene
Tokyo in the fall is like NYC in the fall
One of the world's best places
Showing her best side during the finest time of year.

after a week in tokyo you will yearn for some trees - families will be picnicing and the autumn atmosphere will be healing,, there is a Β₯500 enterance fee but it is worth it... (i broke down in tears when i saw everyone so happy in the sun)

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnβt violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canβt wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! β€οΈ
