lost in blue
nightmare, 2008
recommended for martin & coer
it’s an alt-rock, visual kei song with a deep emotional meaning, portraying numbness, fake smiles, and the invisible walls that can make someone feel trapped while the world keeps moving. it’s also the opening theme for mōryō no hako, and i think martin might really like it; i’d recommend it to coer who are into this kind of music too.

my favourite midwest emo album. people who love this genre are probably already aware of this one, but those who aren’t should check it out. it’s beautiful

funny games
michael haneke, 1997
recommended for james
yufan is a huge cinephile and has recommended movies with similar genres, this one is extremely psychological!! the type of movie that makes u feel intentionally disgusted. the 1997 version has interesting filmmaking techniques, i’m 100% sure that if yufan hasn’t seen it yet, he would love this one. he seems like the type of person who enjoys being intrigued by movies…

shelly, 2025
recommended for seonghyeon
you cannot convince me seonghyeon isn’t clairo. all jokes aside, he already listens to steeeam by shelly, just think this would suit him well.

homesick
wave to earth, 2023
recommended for james
whenever i listen to homesick (and holyland, also by w2e) i always think of james because daniel kim’s voice has a similar tone as james, which i love bc they’re both amazing. i think the lyrics of homesick resonate with james’s story, at least to me :)

bentobox
me and my sandcastle, 2021
recommended for keonho & seonghyeon
i like to describe this type of music as sunny indie, and whenever i think of something like that i think of keonho :) 09z in general, actually. i know they have different tastes, but i think seonghyeon would like the production on this song as well
beautiful thang
shybully, 2026

niche artist with a really chill laidback vibe. definitely a late night drive kind of song.
appetite for destruction
guns n roses, 1987
recommended for martin
martin is usually into rock music and many type of rock bands. i never heard him say that he likes to listens to gun n roses but i think he might like it bcz of his personality and taste in music.

trátame suavemente
soda stereo, 1984
recommended for martin
soda stereo is my favorite latin rock band, and whenever i listen to them i always think martin would really like their music, especially songs like “de música ligera” and “en la ciudad de la furia.” their gentle but passionate, deep lyrics feel so much like his style, and i can honestly imagine him as our gustavo cerati of this time.
