I’ve been feeling pretty nostalgic lately. Whenever I listen to my favorite old ass J-music albums, I always get this image of me listening to all these songs on loop from my mp3 player back in high school.

I’ll use this space here to share with you the most memorable artists who, in my opinion, deserve justice and need to be remembered.
