CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE!   THE ARTIST   Taiga Lain is one of those artists whose name is also the band's name. He's a guy - a multi-instrumentalist and arranger - but also a rotating cast of instrumentalists and singers. Taiga has a record of rearranging 20th century japanese folk music and nursery rhymes, with influences ranging from Haruomi Hosono to Ichiko Aoba. Their discography isn't big as of yet, but their releases are certainly interesting and warrant some listens if you haven't done so yet. Since most of Taiga's music are rearrangements of popular nursery rhymes, I'll also listen to other renditions and list those here in case you want to check them out!   I:  赤い靴 (SINGLE #1)     Renditions listened :  C hiemi Hori, 1992 : The most melancholic, only vocals and a solemn acoustic guitar.

Lyrically, it's interesting but not particularly impressive. " Like a homeward demon bi...

Well, me, I wasn't even in my father's balls yet. But I was there for the worldwide phenomenon known as " Undertale ", a Post-Homestuck, Post-Yume-Nikki quasi art game that dared ask you to think of the slimes you were slaying in Dragon Quest. Undertale was the first internet bandwagon I was old enough to jump on thus it holds a special place in my heart, even if I fundamentally disagree with a lot of its design ideas. The most interesting about it nowadays, to me, is the fact that it was made by a bloke who was primarily a musician. Following in the footsteps of Touhou Project's ZUN, Toby Fox (aka Radiation) was notable first as one of the composers for Homestuck, who despite not being responsible for the best song s in the series, was talented enough to eventually buil...
