I just want to note that, while I am willing to engage with most of you and follow some of you, it will most likely be through my personal account @akiko.social, as this account will strictly be posting updates as they pertain to the Lunar/Shift project, and only following members and collaborators.

It's Bandcamp Friday.

That means if you support my music today, I get a bigger cut that normal. Of course, you can also download for free if you like any of my songs.

Thanks for any support, as always 🫶

I would appreciate it if people kept their frivolous drama-baiting AWAY from my projects in the future. All of them.

I'm a trans musician (@lunarshift.bsky.social) writing lyrics about the LGBTQ+ experience, mental health struggles, and relationships. I consider my lyric style to be "uplifting emo" and my genres range between rock, post-hardcore, and metalcore depending on the song. I hope you can enjoy my music!

If you didn't see the show last night, catch the VOD here.

I don't make guest appearances often. I gave an extensive look at my history that I haven't shared with my audience before in such depth, including influences, more about @lunarshift.bsky.social, and a brief history of being a virtual idol.

Just for fun, here's a mini bass cover of one of my favorite こすもぽりたん songs, YIN&YANG. I'm a out of practice if you can't tell, but please do enjoy.

It's not often I show my playing. I opted for a lot of down-strumming because it sounds awesome with my current bass setup.

First I want to share this about my song:

Although it may mislead you, Monochrome isn't a song about lovers! It's a song about mental disorder, identity, and self-acceptance.

誤解を招くかもしれませんが、モノクロームは恋人たちの歌ではありません！これは精神障害、アイデンティティ、自己受容についての曲です。

Listen again with this in mind and you may hear it now.

Reminder: I'm still looking for vocalists to feature on my upcoming album. We're delaying it because I want to find a perfect fit for each song. Please respond to the post I've quoted if you're interested in singing on Lunar/Shift's full-length album!

Calling all bsky #youtaite
I'm working on my debut album and would like to feature you on a track *if one of my songs suits you*

I have worked with a number of other amazing talents in the past, including the incredible 0P2C. If you have the pipes for a rock/post-hardcore song, show me your work!!!

"Sketch" and "Monochrome" should be reappearing on Lunar/Shift's digital streaming pages very soon ❤️‍🩹

Sorry, my old distributor was incredibly horrible about handling their shutdown and just about everything else they ever did...
so it should come as no surprise that we have to start over from zero.

Sketch and Monochrome will be temporarily unavailable on most or all music services. This is pending resolution now and should be fixed in a few weeks at most, hopefully sooner. The old distributor did not give me a good timeline for when my songs would be pulled, so I wasn't able to plan ahead. 😭

Akiko Kumagara 「熊柄秋子」💜🐻 @akiko.social · Nov 27

Finally got my remaining songs set to move to the new distributor... what a pain. Took about 45-60 minutes to get to this point.

Should work out without issue but it's a bigger effort than one might think to migrate things. The old distributor finally issued takedowns for my songs so I can't delay.

My favorite song from the new "sprite best PLUS (2011-2022)" compilation album. The chorus is so very catchy, and the song feels almost like some Garupa songs I like from Afterglow, interestingly, especially in the chorus.

Anyway, this is really a great song and a fantastic CD. Highly recommend it.

As well as us not having guest vocalists prepared to feature on our new and re-imagined songs yet. But don't fret, the delay won't be for long if it does come to pass! We'll keep our heads high and get this music delivered as soon as we can. Just keep in mind that I am only one very busy person!

Lunar/Shift @lunarshift.bsky.social · Nov 20

While nothing is official (yet!) it feels more and more likely with each passing day that we won't be meeting our Dec. 2024 deadline for the new album release. This is because things such as our old distributor shutting down has forced us to reallocate some time into fixing our digital releases...

There's no proof that I (akiko, hikari, reina) interacted with offending content because I never did. The whole thing is a massive joke, and that the list creator is trying to iterate on this thing still is infuriating. Bsky moderation staff needs to nip this in the bud before more damage is done.
