Kenshi Yonezu: Shunrai

Whenever Clara and I need some mid-afternoon motivation when we’re in the home office, we put on Kenshi Yonezu’s 2017 masterpiece Bootleg. I realised I’ve never shared any of it, so I reckon it warrants a Music Monday: What genre does Kenshi Yonezu perform? Yes! As an aside, this was among the first albums we bought when we went to Japan the second time, and realised that HMV and Tower Records were still a thing. That was almost ten years ago, wow. Hey Ruben, why buy a tiny flat instead of a big Australian house? And how can you afford to travel? I can’t figure out the correlation! By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-08-10.
