A teenage girl with low self-esteem who prefer to spend her days playing games with her two best friends Tarou and Fumitake. She’s kind but a little absent-minded and this tend to cause trouble for her every now and then. Overall she’s content with life, but she’s feeling boxed in and wishes that there was something more beyond the daily routines. A mistake and a chance encounter forces her out of her comfort zone as she tries to make amends. In the end she finds herself part of a band with people she doesn’t know, with a goal to play the music festival that occurs every year in their city. The Wildfire festival. During the course of the game Hanako find her old preconceptions challenged as she gets closer to the other members of the band and learns more about them. She also learns more about herself as she has to handle various crises that occurs along the road.Over time she learns how to handle problems instead of running away, to voice her own opinions and that her thoughts are not inherently less worth than those of her peers.

I think this one's barely 20th century (like 15 years old), but I guess it counts. And it's hard to argue, particularily with this live performance it's quite lovely. I, on the other hand, have more fun than I've expected with Sakura Fujiwara's bootleg American folk. It somehow cracks me up that this kind of music is made in Japan. ^^

I found some that exist in podcast format, but I made one on a discord server c: Idk about others tho I'd recommend this podcast to listen to, I like it a lot! besides, it's one of the only that is still running, oof-

Today I stumbled upon this song (I heard it on internet radio): Love it That such songs are still being made in 21st century is why I fell in love with J-pop I know it is very formulaic. It's just that J-pop formula resonates with me really well.
