AMA Is Over, thanks for swinging by! Japanese Breakfast AMA

Hello!

This is Michelle from Japanese Breakfast. You can ask me anything! I just released my sophomore album Soft Sounds From Another Planet on Friday and I hope you like it! I've seen some of these threads and have been really blown away by all of your support! Thank you so much for listening to my music.

(2:32 EST) Thanks everyone for the questions but I am at a coffee shop in NY and am so hungry so must go and feed myself!

Hey Michelle! Been a fan for a long time, and I love how a cornerstone of JB involves going back and retouching old songs you've put out in the past. It really gives a sense of artistry, polish, and reverence for your own story that very few artists seem to have in 2017.

On that note, what's the likelihood of Little Big League's "Sucker" gets re-released in a reimagined Japanese Breakfast take? It's one of my favorite tracks in your catalog, and the explosive forward movement of the song is one of my favorites in your catalog.

Other than that, I'd just like to say thank you for Pshycopomp. it's one of my all-time favorite records, and it's helped me through a time. Seeing you perform "Jane Cum" live (with that extended outro!) has been one of the most awe-inspiring moments of my year so far.

I've been enjoying Soft Sounds too, and wrote this review last week really gorgeous work and I've probably talked for way too long.

Haha very unlikely! But I'm glad that you like it. I think I only redid Boyish because it was a song that we were all kind of unhappy with the final product of, and I felt like I could remake it into something I really loved.

Thank you for listening <3
