We celebrate a thing! Hello and welcome back to a very special J-Music Exchange/Rate review! In case you're new here and/or don't know what this is about: this is a segment I do with my good friend/fellow Japanese music fan Leap250 where we pick out an album from our respective libraries, exchange and listen to them, and later give our final thoughts on our own blogs. May 2020 is when we restarted this whole project, and 74 reviews later (!!!), we're still going strong. And not only do we intend to make these album recommendations to each other, but we hope that you, the reader, are able to find some cool new music or artist to listen to as well.
