Someday (1982) by Motoharu Sano (佐野 元春) is the perfect city pop album. From beginning to end, the songs entertain you and make you feel a melancholy vibe mixed with rock & roll and the typical pop rock of the 80s in Japan.
The record has no bad song. On the contrary, each piece has a meaning within the puzzle of the album and is essential. “Sugartime" is very fun track which has some nice pop components and easy but addictive lyrics. Its counterpart, "Happy Man", follows the same style but adding rock elements, executed in a sublime way. "二人のバースディ" is a simple birthday song where Sano shines vocally to the rhythm of a piano accompaniment which is subtle but works perfectly. The title track, “SOMEDAY”, has a perfect melody: mellow piano playing accompanied by the ambiance of city traffic, reminiscence of the past, English interpolations within the song... A city pop classic. “I’m in blue” is a triumph within the record, due to its coming-of-age and being in love all the time lyrics. I also want to mention my personal favourite, "Vanity Factory", a very raw rock piece with a glam twist and a Bruce Springsteen vibe, followed by "Rock & Roll Night", a track of almost 9 minutes that reminds of the best moments of Billie Joel.
With an eclectic production and sound, but fitting very well, combining various genres such as rock & roll, glam or pop rock with synthesizers, Motoharu Sano has created one of my favourite albums of the 80s, easy listening, fun and memorable.

6. Story with the most:

Bookmarks: do you see me now, goncharov? (9)
Comments: do you see me now, goncharov? (19)
9. Work I’m most proud of (and why):
you were the song stuck in my head. i was experimenting with a slightly different style and i really, really liked how it came out. and i felt like with it, i made my return to more emotionally charged, angstier fics—the fics that i started out in this fandom with.
also, i’m quite fond of i’m half-doomed, you’re semi-sweet. i just really liked the atmosphere and the dynamic i established in so few words. there’s a hell of a story there that’s begging to be written too, but it also suits them as it is.
10. Work I’m least proud of (and why):
got me running from the daylight. i wrote it in weird chunks, very close to the deadline, and i Know that the concept was strong and fun and could have been a much better fic. but i was pressed for time after procrastinating and had to resort to making it a collection of slice of life vignettes. still fun, and my giftee enjoyed it, but i know i could have written it much better.
11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:
from i’m half-doomed, you’re semi-sweet:
Suga turns his cheek and catches Semi’s mouth in a bruising kiss. Suga kisses like he belongs onstage himself—determined, fearless, demanding of both himself and everyone around him; and yet, like he’s got all the damn time in the world. Semi leans into it, melts into the shape of Suga’s mouth, licks the taste of the cigarette from behind his teeth and kisses him full of something new, something sweeter. Not that Suga needs extra sweet.
and i’m also fond of the phrase “some insignificant capillary of a street” from and there will be no tenderness.
12. Share or describe a favorite review you received:
my favorite comment was on and there will be no tenderness. they said “it just stabbed me five times in the gut and then put a little kiss on top of my hair” and that just got me
13. A time when writing was really, really hard:
most of the year, actually. last year was kind of a lot—ended one relationship, started a new one, traveled a lot to see my partner, had family issues, got COVID, changed jobs, went through the law school application process...it all just didn’t leave me a lot of spoons for writing. i played a lot of video games to relax last year and i just didn’t write as much.
14. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:
sylvain, in and there will be no tenderness. he’s a character i’ve always Liked but honestly this fic alone made me absolutely adore him. i had initially just set out to actively make him a foil to felix emotionally, but he ended up leaping out as this man who so clearly has feelings that run deeper than this arrangement should allow, someone who despite being so rough with felix, truly cares for him underneath it all—someone who knows, truly, that felix won’t ever return those feelings, yet continues to go back to him over and over again. AH it was really fun.
15. How did you grow as a writer this year:
i think i’ve gotten quite good at the whole ‘show, don’t tell’ concept. i do feel like my writing style is rather...observational, so i really enjoy writing out how characters show their emotions and motivations.
16. How do you hope to grow next year:
i want to try (key word: TRY) to not leave as many WIPs dangling out in the aether. i want to plan my fics out better so i don’t post one chapter and then leave it for years because i don’t know what happens next.
17. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):
my friend enno @sugaandyams! even though i didn’t write as much last year, enno was always down to talk headcanons, AUs, elaborate RPs, all of it.
18. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:
so confession, i’ve been writing some personal experience into my smut lately~
19. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:
uh, i think one of the biggest things i learned this year is that it’s okay (and even fun) to change up your style. try something new! what’s the worst that could happen, you don’t like it so you don’t do it again?
20. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:
the priority WIP i really am aiming to finish this year are: bound for i don’t know where, bit your heart and released, crosswalks and crossed hearts, and you were the song stuck in my head (every song that i’ve ever loved). and i’m also excited to keep progressing with my 100 kink challenge!
