RIP Junko Ohashi

RIP Junko Ohashi, who passed away from cancer a few days ago at the age of 73. In some of the city pop circles I hover around we all rightfully call her the City Pop Queen because she truly was. Telephone Number was probably her most famous song amongst most people, and is probably the first song of hers you heard:

My favorite song of hers though is Postcard Fantasy, just an absolutely insane bop and one of my first go-to examples of stuff to give a listen to if you want to give city pop a try.

Just so good, she was such an incredible talent and I'm glad the city pop renaissance meant more people go to learn about her. RIP Junko Ohashi.

Junko Ohashi: Japan's Iconic Songstress Passes Away at 73

Junko Ohashi, a revered icon in Japan's music industry and a beloved national treasure, passed away at the age of 73, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and artistic brilliance. Her journey, marked by a valiant battle against cancer, resonates deeply with fans and fellow artists alike.

Ohashi's career was a testament to her indomitable spirit. Five years ago, she was diagnosed with both esophageal and breast cancer. After undergoing chemotherapy and a period of recovery, she made a triumphant return to the stage, showcasing not only her musical talent but also her unyielding determination. However, in March of this year, her esophageal cancer recurred, halting her plans for upcoming concerts and compelling her to focus on her health.

Despite her efforts, Ohashi's condition deteriorated rapidly last week, and she was hospitalized. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her illness, leaving a profound impact on the music world. Japanese media, including "Sponichi Annex," reported on her brave fight and her eventual passing, highlighting the profound loss felt by many.

Ohashi's influence on the Japanese music scene was monumental. She rose to fame with hits like « Silhouette Romance » and « Tasogare My Love », becoming a legendary figure, especially among audiences from the 70s and 80s. Her music transcended generations, captivating hearts with her unique voice and emotional depth.

The news of her demise has plunged fans and loved ones into mourning. Junko Ohashi was more than a singer; she was a symbol of courage, a beacon of hope, and a source of inspiration for many. Her legacy in the Japanese entertainment industry is irreplaceable, and her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who admired her artistry and bravery.

In celebrating her life, we remember not just the music she gave to the world, but also the spirit she embodied – a spirit of resilience, grace, and undying passion for her craft. Junko Ohashi will be deeply missed, but her songs and the memories she created will forever echo in the annals of Japan's musical heritage.

Albums I've listened to: Winter 2022 Edition

(Just some albums from the past 10 years, plus some recent ones i've come across)

Basically albums that i associate with winter that have no reference to chr*stmas, but nonetheless have great songs for walking around in the snow, in a mall or taking the bus through the city when its pitch black and/or cold out

Artwork for my remix of Telephone Number by Junko Ohashi :D Normally I’m too lazy to make art for my remixes but this song has been stuck in my head for like 10 years and I was feeling inspired. The girl here isn’t an OC or anything btw, she’s just some random girl lol

Continue to reading to see an alt without text!

Bonus fun fact, the city in the picture there was inspired by the original album cover, which..... is a picture of the twin towers XDD
