In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The day Meishi Smile began was when I first heard "Naughty Boys" by Yellow Magic Orchestra. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? DIR EN GREY, 鬼葬-KISOU- The Radio Dept., Pet Grief スーパーカー, Futurama The template of Meishi Smile. An intersection of sentimentality, politic, futurism, and grief. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Pond (feat. Calendula)” One of the first songs written for Meishi Smile, and still evokes a feeling of any era to me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The ability to just continue existing and connecting with new people all the time. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? The most important thing to me is for Meishi Smile to continue doing what it wants and not be limited to any genre. To stand on its own as time moves forward.
