My mom told me today that Michelle used to be my next door neighbor! I remember having soup in her house and being in the presence of her family. I was very young so I don't have any specific memories beyond that. But I remember the warm, kind energy in her home and I feel so blessed to have experienced that! It's inspiring to be reminded that someone who grew up in the same place I did can shine so brightly and touch so many people.

[@krolsn]

For real? Michelle just radiates warmth and compassion through her music and interviews. She brings me to tears of loss and joy.

[@gustavoroman2214]

Try, try to recall memories of peaches

[@charlesjgray5799]

love it. She's amazing and inspiring.

[@jacobbrown5659]

You must Read Michelle's memoir, Crying in H Mart

[@jacksonthedoggy]

I truly wish her Mom could see all her success. She is so talented

[@mavisevelyn618]

Tactics has to be my favorite song of 2021. it's simply gorgeous and it leaves me in tears.

[@_Feyd-Rautha]

What a seriously talented human. Bestseller and some Grammy nods to boot

[@NightFlightism]

Cannot wait to see a Live Version of Posing in Bondage

[@yaolin6014]

how Michelle sings during "Be Sweet" really reminds me of the part where she sings karaoke at a bar in Vietnam in her book, maybe bc of this the song sounds a bit like Korean karaoke to me even ;)

[@josietennyson5835]

Ooh that's a cool connection I've never thought of that

[@fatha2092]

Japanese Breakfast has that vibe when you are almost falling asleep while a cold breeze goes through your blankets with your pillow on the cold side

i discovered japanese breakfast in 2017 when i was interning for a radio station that strictly plays local and foreign indie \ alt music only,,,, the soft sounds from another planet album was recently released that time.... the best memories from schooling life was discovering bands \ musicians

[@gab_a_gool]

One of the best albums that came out this year. Glad I own a copy of this on vinyl.

[@Jayinjapanese]

Listen to Tyler the creator-Call me if you get lost album

[@hawtpawkithero]

Loving the latest album, and I have to say she's really matured since I saw her in 2017 in Minneapolis at 7th Street Entry with Porches.

[@mourningdewey]

japanese breakfast has helped me through so much pain and michelle's memoir is so relatable to me as a korean american
