Hello hello, welcome back to this week's edition of Sunday Chillin'! Lots of wild stuff going on all over the world, hope everyone is staying happy and healthy.
I've recently been listening nonstop to Fujii Kaze, a new Japanese artist who fuses old-timey beats and lyrics with unique melodies and modern production. I've had his songs on repeat for the past week or two and wanted to share them to spread his name far and wide. [1]
Be sure to check out his live performances at the YouTube links below. I'm not sure that I've ever heard anyone sound better in a live recording, it honestly sounds even better than his studio recordings most of the time.

See you all next Sunday!

Here are Spotify and YouTube playlists with all the songs so far.
[1] There may only be 42 of you but if each of you introduces the song to 42 more people and then each of those people introduces it to 42 more who then...well you get the idea. If this happens (and I have great faith in all of you), we would introduce this song to 5.4 billion people in just 5 iterations! The Power of Friendship™ is truly a thing to behold when combined with the exponential series 42^x.
[2] The astute among you (i.e. the ones who watch the videos) may notice a very interesting detail about these live performances: no one in the audience is on their phone! Turns out that phones are not allowed at concerts in Japan so audience members never see a glowing screen as they try to enjoy the music. I for one think that all countries should follow Japan's example and ban phones in concert venues. I didn't pay to see the concert through your 6.1 inch iPhone 14 Pro screen, Kathrynne or whatever your name is. The only acceptable situation is if you're using your phone as a calculator during the performance. For everyone else, you better put it away.
