Instead of exposing myself to the madness of going to the Expo 25 thing while staying in Osaka, I did the much more relaxed, cheaper and probably more interesting alternative and visited the Expo 70 memorial park. I praised the sun and marvelled at the miniatures. Recommended for everyone liking retrofuture and the time where we still believed technology is here to save the day.

The album cover for 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧 is a vibrant, retro-inspired illustration that blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with surreal elements. The central figure is a young child wearing a straw hat, sitting on a bridge and gazing at the scene below. In the background, iconic Japanese landmarks such as Mount Fuji and a traditional pagoda are visible, creating a sense of cultural heritage. Above the scene, a large, anthropomorphic sun with an angry or intense expression dominates the sky, adding a surreal and whimsical touch. The title "SUNWAVE SESSIONS" is prominently displayed in bold, stylized text, while the artist's name, "RHINOMUSICA MIDORI," is written above it. The overall color palette features warm yellows, browns, and greens, giving the image a nostalgic, vintage feel.

The album cover for 12 Bit Spit by Jazz Spastiks is a vibrant, retro-futuristic illustration that blends elements of 8-bit/16-bit video game art with a bold, energetic design. The central figure is a robot-like character with a cheerful face, wearing a helmet and holding a joystick, suggesting a connection to gaming culture. The robot is surrounded by colorful, cartoonish characters, including a pink creature and other whimsical figures, all set against a cosmic background with stars, planets, and explosions. The title "JAZZ SPASTIKS" is prominently displayed in large, eye-catching letters at the top, with "12 BIT SPIT" written below in a smaller font. The overall aesthetic is playful, nostalgic, and futuristic, reflecting themes of creativity, nostalgia, and digital art.

@mantissa the morning blur and the small size on my iPhone make the destination sign look like a retro camera brand logo. Wonder what the font is. The gray contrast between rooftop, side panel and hinge add to that aesthetic. Like a retro camera with the parts out of context or something. Had to look twice while scrolling to understand what I am looking at. Fascinating shot. #photography #retrofuturism
