[2026] REIRIE - Under A Cherry Heaven (BLR)
As you all know I love everything Japan, although I have an aversion to the whole Idol School J-Pop thing. It's just too twee, formulaic and plastic. I get it, and understand it's popularity but it's just churned out like fast food. Rei and Rie are different because they broke the mould in LADYBABY with one of the first Death Pop bands. Sure it was manufactured, but it was noise instead of the usual saccharine cutesy pop. They then morphed into more adult pop in The Idol FormerlyKnown As Ladybaby before splitting. Rei went onto a Punk band with her sister called Brats and Rie went into a more Alt Pop sound with trolleattroll and ilie. They reformed a few years ago under the name REIRIE and have been doing live shows and releasing music regularly since then. This collects all their releases. I love it, and if you do go and buy their records, but fair warning they are not cheap.
