I learned about Doji Morita today
#As reductively as possible
#Doji Morita was an underground singer/songwriter who made music from 1977 to 1983
#They released 8 albums during this time. Creating music that went completely against the trends of the time
#which was uplifting jpop and romance songs
#Doji Morita was deeply affected by the death of a friend which lead them to creating their music
#Until 1983 when they announced their retirement and disappeared
#Nobody knew who they were or what their real name was or anything about them
#Doji Morita wanted their music to speak for itself and for decades their music is all we ever knew about them
#Until 2021 when a prolific author requested a book he wrote be published after his death
#In the book we learned a little more about who Doji Morita was as they had passed away in 2018
#Officially from heart failure although most likely due to broken heart syndrome following the death of their husband
#However despite us knowing their real name today
#Doji Morita is still most commonly known by their stage name
#And their official name isn't even listed on their wikipedia page
#Doji Morita is a rare person who despite a sad end to their life
#lived their life on their own terms
#Avoiding any fame or personal recognition and known only for their music
#Retiring after falling in love and wanting to live a normal life
#Which is exactly what they did
#Their music is tied deeply to their personal feelings and their sadness
#and has connected many people to this day by being an honest expression of these feelings
#Which is deeply appreciated especially at the time when many young Japanese people connected to it
#more than they did the rising popularity of Jpop idols
#Anyway I recommend Sakura Stardust's video on them as she did a lot of research
#But I am just happy to enjoy their music in the way they wanted
#to just enjoy it on its own and let it speak for itself
