fam has there ever been a musician/band whose music u genuinely disliked at first, but through repeated exposure, u got brainwashed into being hella down w/ their stuff

that was literally me and pastel*palettes lmao. theyre all close favorites behind afterglow as characters, but real talk... my ears got dislocated from trying to escape when i heard shuwarin dreaming the first few times. but now it’s lowkey a banger. u know what isnt a lowkey banger tho? fuwa fuwa time, which is a highkey banger. that song has like the coldest ending in the entire game and the clapping at the start gets me instantly hyped

then they got the yura yura ring dong, this extra intense idol electronic ballad w/ chisato and her ol thug head singing. and can we talk about wonderland girl, that song is secretly my jam when no ones around. sobakasu is just oozing w/ swag meanwhile lol

idk what it is with this group. the pastels’ music is hella lit and cute at the same time. their style is so confident + well put-together & eventually they just won me over. i wont lie, every time a pastel song or cover gets added lately, i get super excited to hear it
