r/Yorushika

To preface, I'm not slandering on anyone's opinion on the album. I personally love the new direction, but music is subjective, and I understand not everyone feels the same way.

But it always had me wondering, to anyone who didn't like the album when it came out and/or still doesn't like it, why?

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Just for the hell of it.

Hey all!

Our group has been working on a polished translation for the Nininshou epistolary novel that goes with Nininshou the album. In addition, given how unique the experience of the physical novel is, we've also made a web app that does its best to emulate the experience that n-buna/Yorushika intended to give through this album.

This has been in the works for a few months now and a lot of people have put in their heart and soul into this, so we do hope that everyone enjoys it! And also, if you have the means, PLEASE do buy the original if you enjoy this. It's their main source of income for this album after all.

Yeah fr why didn't they just release it in 2023. I thought magic lantern was just a mediocre album till I heard the unreleased ones. Like the unreleased ones just upgrade the entire album to a whole another level. Like idk how to describe it but like the unreleased ones make other songs sound better too when u lsiten to the album.

i just love the entirety of both hitchcock and say it. like all of the lyrics.

I put on their latest album pretty much every time I need to clean or do something that I want to feel soothed while doing. I like their old music but their latest album just stays on top right now!

Just came across some songs that I didn’t know before while looping the Yorushika playlist. Turns out there were some songs that could only be heard in the physical album but now they are all available on streaming platforms.

Maybe this exposes me as a lame fan, but I still got super excited to learn that there are more Yorushika songs I didn’t know about and I fell in love with them instantly 😍

currently playing the fifth night. there are so many instrumentals in this album and they give off such a different vibe from the rest of their tracklist. for some reason, i feel like the instrumentals in magic lantern feel heavier (in a good sense) and more suffocating and nostalgic whereas the instrumentals in dakaboku, elma, summer grass, and underdog feels more fleeting. it feels like i’m surrounded by music and for some reason makes me want to cry????

I have been listening these songs either live version or offline. Finally they release them on youtube after 3 years.

Been obsessed with goodbye molten lately. I am so happy :D
