[@rockomax2732]

Japanese summers are bad. Air sticks to you and humdity is off the charts. Disliked them since I was 5 which was the first i time I went to Japan to visit family. August and Spring is actually the best season and time to go imo. It's like Los Angeles during winter. Nice and warm, but cool and snowy. Just be warned to get vaccinated while going their in any season except summer. Influenza easily spreads because of the small housing plots.

[@chickenwings4910]

Junko Ohashi was my musical juggernaut, when I was 13 I use to put on this very song everyday because I couldn’t get enough of it, I vividly remember rewinding this song numerous times to the point where I would never get to the ending because every point of this song was beautiful to me. Her music would always get me through different points of my life even if I was mad at the world and not happy with my current state of life, I’m now a sophomore in high school and seeing her death also pulled the plug on the music side of my life. I hope you are resting in peace knowing you made people smile with your music. Even through death your essential soul will live on and your essential music. Whoever is behind this account, thank you for helping making this women known, you are deeply in my gratitude

Her music greatly impacted my life, as well. She brightened up my days whenever I felt sad. I’m so happy she blessed the world with her talent! RIP Queen!

Her voice perfectly captures the emotion displayed in the lyrics and matches the musical tone so well. Quickly becoming one of my favorite singers.

[@mauriciohiure2192]

this one is definitely Junko's magnum opus, literally never get tired of listening to it, especially 2:14 onwards, used to go to school "trying" to sing that part lol

[@josscasuan8064]

Necesitamos más música con sentimiento en el mundo...

[@joseferrer3738]

I remembered something i read on the original post of this song it said something like "imagine driving on a bridge on your car listening to this while the sun is just coming out and you feel the fresh air on your face" i feel it everytime

Dude, I didn't know she died recently. I began listening to her music at the start of November 😭

[@Leviathan762-zh4lq]

[@pastaman64]

I love the seamless transition from vocal to saxophone!

[@TripleBeppo]

One of my favorite tracks of all time. i've been listening to this album since I was like 13. Time sure flies, huh?

[@mitchellbenbrook2041]

Rest in peace Junko, your artistry will live forever

[@cleclecle7]

The Japanese funk songs are really underrated, I wish more people listen this type of music :(

[@queuedjar4578]

Matsubara Miki's song Stay With Me went really tiktok famous and got #1 trending song on lots of music streaming services. Tons of people are listening to city pop now.

[@Yuhyeauhuhsurebuddy1]

I got into it because of sampling music. I listen to the tracks normally before thinking abt samples, and Japanese city pop is a genre that stuck with me after this song specifically. This song is definitely one i think abt alot lmao

[@alanbareiro6806]

Funk as a whole is underrated

[@CrisisMoon7]

It’s really popular rn in internet circles

[@arthurfawkes1728]

I tried searching the album online and couldn't find it anywhere, seems rare as fuck lol.

[@yuri0_187]

Azer Co. this specific album isn't available for download there. I've already checked and asked numerous places for a link to the full album. the closest I'd be able to get with listening to the full thing is if I were to buy the vinyl for 260 dollars on discogs :(

[@youngthomasyorke4074]

This album was only ever available on vinyl, and it is rare, $100 in Japan. 10/12 of the songs are on other albums, Tasogare and Tea for Tears, which are available on the website linked above.

[@youngthomasyorke4074]

You can also find a ton of her stuff on Apple Music Japan, you can get a subscription even without being in Japan.

[@HadyGallaxyz]

some way to find this song or telephone number in another album?

[@mmmbrunommm3]

Well, it's hard to find even on streaming apps like spotify. It kinda amazes me considering how good this sounds, it's a shame it's no easily available.

[@Disco-Mike]

I cant believe... she died one week ago. This song is even more bittersweet than it already have been.

[@rollinsjp1]

I love Ohashi Junko's soulful vocal so much! And this tune is just sublime.

[@jwizdum2103]

I swear the basslines from Japanese artists in the 80's completely nailed the simplicity is key aspect of Bass. Such unbelievably clean, easy to follow basslines. So good.

Yeah. The same happened to me so i figured i would reupload. Despite it getting content ID'ed I left it monitized and let the owners of the content get the monetization. Honestly I would rather let all of us experience this music for free and allow the rightful owners to get their rightful money for the usage of the audio. At least they didnt strike it down.

"This song is simply amazing! I can't help but feel so happy and upbeat whenever I listen to Junko Ohashi's "I Love You So". The catchy tune, combined with her sweet and infectious vocals, just gets me moving and singing along every time. The lyrics are so simple and sincere, and they really hit home for me, reminding me of the beauty of true love. Overall, this song is definitely one of my all-time favorites, and I can't get enough of it. Thank you, Junko Ohashi, for sharing your talent and creating such a timeless classic!"

[@payaparapasu]

No lo tengo muy claro, pero un día en medio de la cuarentena o soñé con esta canción sonando y luego desperté, o solo desperté y se apareció esta canción en mi cabeza. Recuerdo que ya en ese momento, que debe haber sido en junio-julio de 2020, la recordaba como una canción que hace tiempo no escuchaba. Fue una mañana alegre. Más tarde, si no me equivoco ese mismo día, partí a tratar de tocar los acordes en guitarra. Para mí representa en cierta medida un punto de inflexión en mi vida por razones que serían difíciles de poner en palabras por su naturaleza inclinada a lo abstracto. Fue un buen día. Tengo la intención de nunca olvidar eso y nunca olvidar esta canción.
