Oh god, I fucking love Jun Togawa. Most people know her from her most popular songs, Suki Suki Daisuki and Sayonara wo Oshiete, which itself expresses plenty of her avant-garde tendencies such as her vocal range and how willing she is to explore it, but she's a pioneer of anti-idol music and has had a load of more experimental/avant-garde shit, like her project Guernica which follows a concept of the wartime period of WWI and WWII in Europe and Asia. Even her more "mainstream" music is weird as hell, though, in the best possible way. Her debut solo album Tamahime-sama has some sick ass tracks, like the title song and Konchugun, but one of my personal all-time Jun favorites is her cover of Angel Baby on the Suki Suki Daisuki album. The way she uses her voice in her music is so incredible, she has an unbelievable amount of talent with it, a prime example of it, I think, is her song Densha de GO. It's not just the music alone that makes her such an amazing artist, she's also one of the greatest performers I've ever seen. If you find recordings of her performing Tamahime-sama or Barbara Sexaroid live, she fucking owns that stage, she's so goddamn weird and I live for every moment of it. I cannot recommend her music enough. She also has some more somewhat mainstream stuff that she did with her band YAPOOS, resulting in probably my favorite song of hers ever, NOT DEAD LUNA. It means the world to me.

A pixel art drawing of the Sword of Dios from Revolutionary Girl Utena. It is a fencing sword with a gold hilt that wraps around the knuckle, the grip itself is black with a gold spiral going around it. The top of the hilt has a rose. The text above the sword, which is laid horizontally, says TAKE MY REVOLUTION! and is followed by a small pixel rose. On the underside of the sword is a star design that reads meoware. End ID.

Flaming text that reads "I USE SHE/HER FOR JAKE ON PURPOSE".
