Luna's Ongaku Go For September 2022!
/With the fall leaves coming upon us, a brand new Ongaku Go has arrived. We at OTY would like our readers to know what was filling our ears for the past month. Each track is available across all digital music streaming platforms with Apple Music featured on this site.
“I Just Wanna Say” by Mime
Mime is such a phenomenal artist and their latest track “I Just Wanna Say” is another showcase of that with its unique chill beats with HIKARI’s vocals bringing it all to life. The beats in “I Just Wanna Say” have this funky fresh feel that you can either relax and chill to or you can get up and dance too. The opening is what caught me immediately as the beat caught my ear right away. HIKARI’s voice sounds slightly deeper in this track, I don’t know if it’s the composition, but I love this type of sound from Mime. They always know how to bring a sexy new track.

“Always You” by milet
I finally got around to listening to milet’s newest single “Always You” and it became an absolute hit. milet’s vocal’s are pleasant and strong as always; the lyrics are very cute and romantic, and it has a nice theatrical composition that fits with milet’s vocal style. “Always You” does feel like a typcial milet track but if you are a fan of her, you will enjoy it. The composition fits with her vocals, which are very smooth and doesn’t sound as deep as they usually do. “Always You” has been a nice uplifting track for me that has kept me going throughout a stressful month.

“Unleash!!!!!” by BAND-MAID
Lately, I’ve been on a alternative and metal kick, so obviously BAND-MAID was in my playlist. Their latest EP did not disappoint. “Unleash!!!!!” was released as a digital single last month as promotion of their upcoming release and it has been in my ears all month. I love the heaviness of the guitars and drums, SAIKI’s vocals are perfect, and the composition is just what I needed. “Unleash!!!!!!” may seem like it starts off rough for some, but it caught my ear immediately and going further into this track, I fell in love with it even more. This got me excited for their new EP which also uses the same title.

“TOKYO 4AM” by CHANMINA
I watched the premier of this music video and waited for the track to drop on iTunes and it is well worth it. “TOKYO 4AM” is such a fun song in so many ways, from the lyrics to the composition. CHANMINA relies more on her vocals than her rap and I always enjoy hearing her use them. This track feels more like a something you’d blast in your car or you’d karaoke to. I love the chorus as it gives the feel that CHANMINA has her all entourage singing with her in that part, you get that full feeling that this is a part you’d want to sing with all your friends. I love that this feels more like a chill R&B-pop track at first then when it hits the chorus, it picks up both musically and vocally, giving a more poppy track while the versus’ take that slower beat and vocals.

“Ano Emi (That smile)” feat. ano by AAAMYYY
I recently discovered AAAMYYY and ever since then I have been addicted to her muic. “Ano Emi” has a heavier sound to it and that is what initially pulled me into it. I’ve been listening to heavier music lately and “Ano Emi” displays this in its composition quite a bit plus mixed with AAAMYYY’s light vocals it makes for the perfect mixture. “Ano Emi” gives the feeling of alternative meets electronic style of music, which gives me that mystifying feeling. The way this track starts off, it sounds like AAAMYYY is going to drop a sick hip hop album, then the guitars hits heavy and you don’t know what type of song this will be now and I love that it takes you on a ride.
