Asuka/Veny, who is a fan of 80s Japanese pop star legend Akina Nakamori, posted a video of the idol covering roller skating boyband (the blurry kids in sailor suits behind her) Hikaru Genji’s 1987 hit “Glass no Juudai” on Yoru no Hit Studio to her Instagram Stories.
And I, a fan of both artists, am using this as an excuse to post this video here.
Glass no Juudai was released in Japan on November 26, 1987 🛼🎉

[ more jasmine music hcs below the cut! ]
Nostalgia being a big component on what makes Jasmine, Jasmine, she prefers songs from decades past. She almost exclusively listens to ‘oldies’ in her spare time, usually through a portable cassette player or her record player at the Lighthouse.
Because Johto for me correlates so closely with Japan/Japanese culture, I also correlate the music of 70′s/80′s Japan to be the equivalent genre to her preferences. Thus, this playlist encompasses that sound.
Keywords that best describe her tastes: romantic, nostalgic, familiar, summery, dreamy, yearning, warm.
Jasmine doesn’t really collect memorabilia, but she has a rather large record collection. She prefers the lossless sound of records over compressed ‘files’ any day. Which is perhaps the only “snobby” trait she possesses!
She has an absolutely stunning singing voice, as heard by both her Pokemon as well as several of the sailors that frequent the Lighthouse. Not many else know of this talent of hers.
Despite her preferences for older music, she is a fan of nearly every genre, as globe-trotting brought her in contact with various different styles. She enjoys rock music, as well as jazz.

*this is perfect because I envision this to be her image song, actually.
**this is more of an interlude: no songs beginning with ‘x’ exemplify Jas or the vibes her tastes in music give off. But, I didn’t want to cheat!
***another image song! A must-listen to understand the vibe of her muse. It was also featured in Kiki’s Delivery Service, so if that doesn’t convince you enough to give it a spin, I’m sure nothing else will!
