sounds like KAZUO HANZAWA THE SIMPSONS. super carnival chromatic but in the BEST way. atonal, bizarre synth sounds, 90s. nice gflitchy start and end. i think the first time i heard this i didn't really conceptualize that the start had an actual meaning, of like a guy trying to learn to play this weird song on the guitar, starting and stopping that cassette tape, that's so cool. and then the song starts 'for real' and it's like you're in his dizzy dream

this song reminds me a lot of this very strange youtube video of a song that is not really what it says that it is but is still extremely cool

hmm as SUPER MIKUMO BROS. [FUKUDA REMIX] goes and continues to go; it keeps adding and developing more layers, and i really appreciate the segueing transitions between these different realms. we have the ICY 90s bell sounds tethering it all together, but its like the train track taking you around the dizzy crazy hellscape non-euclidian backwards realm where there are the evil upside down head guys who laugh at you when you are confused in their maze.

god 3:45 is so funky somehow..

i have said this on board 8 before but i'm not sure if ever in place's presence. which is that i have a tendency to associate these dark and sorta goofy chromatic songs as being like a waitress on roller skates at a diner and the floor is pink and blue checkerboard square tiles infinitely but it's like...they are falling over because they slipped on a banana peel, aand the visual style goes for unsettling angles, unrealistically wide camera lenses, seeing this checker pattern distort (Actually what i am imagining essentially is scenery in The Brave Little Toaster that is almost exactly like this environmentally, just without the people in it)

ioh ok i should explain why this reminds me of Norio Hanzawa; i said "kazuo hanzawa" which was the WROG name (it is essentially now known to be a mistranslated name) . but i said "the simpsons" which was right but also sort of wrong because the real thing this sounds like, both compositionally AND timbrally is The Stretch Panic original soundtrack. here is the entire soundtrack if you would like to play with that

but i guess i should link a The Simpsons song too so here is one of that for you as well

honestly I never bothered to get a sense of how cool Jun Fukuda specifically is. I fixated mostly on Masafumi Takada directly when i was going through all of his work in the past which i mentioned earlier in the topic. and most scenarios with jun fukuda it's not even necessarily disambiguated so i didn't get a sense to see what this friend of his was like, but this remix makes it pretty clear that SOMETHING adventurous is going on in this guy's mind

overall a track bursting at the seams with interesting ideas rhythmically (i didn't even mention the fading in and out triplet secret that you don't notice because it is so 'subtle') and tonally (crazy chromatic carnival) and instrumentally( every sound and sound 'desig'n in this song is so brilliantally crafted just like an evil castle dungeon. this really feels like a trippy artsy adult cartoon that represents "hell" that i would accidentally see when i am 6 that i am too afraid of and become traumatized by how scary that is
