I had the giddiest time in 2024 listening to Fujii Kaze live in Manila. He played all his hits, and I was really waiting for ‘grace’ and he played it and wow wow wow, I’m a fan for life. (Kimmee has video proof.)
Okay, Goodbye is part of Prema – his newest album – and while most albums need time to be fully digested, I knew immediately Okay, Goodbye was the song I loved most from first listen. Immediate combustion.
Also, doesn’t it remind you of Ariana Grande’s ‘thank you, next’? Content-wise, anyway.
He said at Coachella that Okay, Goodbye was his ‘favorite song off his favorite album 😬’ The sound he makes after saying “favorite album” made me laugh. Commercial artists being commercial artists, am I right?
I love how his music is floating around our world today. If you haven’t already, please listen to this cool cat (who, in my opinion, is just a ball of joyful energy and stubborn hope).
What a beautiful man!
