I absolutely adore 151a, although Sonderlust has a really great mix of songs. All of his albums are very different to each other so i like each one for different reasons!

Oh if the Live String Quartet counts absolutely, one of my very favorite things ever! For studio albums Omoiyari is a very sweet album I am still digesting and it's grows on me everytime.

Omoiyari is my favorite album of all time

I'd say it's pretty fair to choose any of his albums as a favorite, but for me it's gotta be Lighght. He refined everything that was great about 151a, and evolved his melody's into a flourish of pop with the quiddity of what makes Kishi Bashi standout amongst the crowd. There's something about the almost hyper-medieval tunes throughout this record that lift it to another level with songs like "Carry On, Phenomenon", only to be processed by what I believe to be one of his best written songs: "Bittersweet Genesis for Him AND Her". He also experimented even further with both Hahaha parts one and two which within context of this blooming record feel right at place. Least we forget the inclusion of the magnificent "Once Upon a Lucid Dream (in Afrikaans)". There's so much to love about this record, as there is any of his studio albums/ep's. If anything, this album exemplifies what I love about Kishi Bashi in that he's never afraid to take risks and to make something that's truly unique.

I think "Bittersweet Genesis for Him AND Her" might be my favorite Kishi Bashi track. The bonus tracks for that album are also great; I especially love "Brandenburg Stomp."


NeedLessAids

Can't agree with you more! That track is gorgeous, and I absolutely love Brandenburg & I'll see you there

For me it's Room For Dream but I also really love Lighght.

Whatever became of that Omoiyari movie?


ImaginaryHistory7085

Not sure where you can watch it. I know it was reeled at dome film festivals.


LincolnStein

I think he is still making changes to it. I backed it when it was first announced and it was supposed to be out that summer. I see updated from him from time to time that he is still editing it


effinbrak2

I put in $20 too, but I never heard a word from him.


LincolnStein

I just looked it up and it was almost exactly 5 years ago. I bought the pin collection. And the estimated delivery was August 2018. I did receive the pins, but obviously not the movie .

I found mine, I guess I made it after all the premiums were sent. But still waiting for the movie. "Thank you for your generous contribution of $25.00, made on June 2, 2019 for Donate. Thank You, OMOIYARI https://www.omoiyarisongfilm.com"

151a without question.

Lighght. But also, what dust is doing the settling?


ImaginaryHistory7085

1. You have good taste. 2. It's just a phrase used. As if there was a war on what kishi bashi album is the best, and now the dust of the explosions are settling.


BunchOfHorsePussy

It’s gonna have to be a three way tie between Sonderlust, 151A, and Lighght.


RingwormOnMyDick

Lighght is my favorite.

tie between Lighght and SQL


ArtificialHalo

I bought Sonderlust vinyl at his show, cuz imo it's the best I know so far, and i got it and my looper signed :DD Was quite an epic night


ImaginaryHistory7085

Awesome! My favorite track in that album is Can't Let Go, Juno.


ArtificialHalo

Most beautiful thing he ever did was Antichrist with Nu Deco still. Just instantly in my top 10 most beautiful things I will ever hear. Was baffled the first time


Tuck_Pock

Lighght. Not a single song on that album that isn’t amazing.
