I don't believe in guilty pleasures because I don't feel guilty about listening to weird niche music that everyone around me thinks is beneath them.
That being said, I understand the concept and can apply it to my music library. So here's a big one.
22/7 - Hyacinth Apple Music | YouTube
I'm linking the Apple Music version not just because I think they deserve to get paid more for your stream, but in case you're a subscriber, you have Dolby Atmos turned on, and you have compatible earbuds, because the song is fucking magical in spatial audio. It's like feeding candy to your ears. The best spatial audio mastering I've heard is Tom Sawyer by RUSH. This is second best. The song feels like a tech demo for spatial audio.
For context, 22/7 (which is another way to say Pi, mathematically, and read as "twenty-two per seven") is a cartoon band, similar to HUNTR/X from Kpop Demon Hunters, except, after the anime series about them... they just continued making music. Hyacinth isn't from their anime. They even make music for other anime now. So they're a real band. Anywhere between 8 and 12 Japanese girls singing in unison in groups. For JPop/idol music, it's pretty good. You don't need to know their anime to listen to them. It was a fantasy series about a mysterious wall that would spit out engraved metal chips with instructions. No one knew who was writing the commands, but people started following it, and it told them to build an idol group and when and where to have them play. They become an overnight sensation. Eventually the wall tells them they have to disband, and after being forced to do so, they seek out who's behind the wall. It's... not very good, as far as anime goes, but the music is on point and I think it's worth watching, if you like music anime.
Pi cannot be expressed as a ratio.
I didn't think it could. And I don't trust an anime about music to teach me something about mathematics. That's just what they call it. (22 / 7 on a calculator does get you 3.14 though, and a bunch of numbers... it's not exactly Pi though.)
The incorrectness of the math just adds another guilty layer, lol.
I'm not sure math was ever the point. They aren't "math rock" (whatever that means) and if the arc of pi represents a dance move, I'd say that's a stretch. Plus, they're Japanese — at worst, the meaning or mistake is lost in translation.
