I don't know much, but I'm learning.

Today's Mori Music Find is Celtic Women. This performance group from Ireland is made up of various talented women, who sing, dance, and play various instruments. Together they play beautifully made versions of various Celtic sounding songs. The group cycles through members and as such have had many different members over the years. Although I'm less of a fan of their newest works, they've still remained one of my favorite groups of all time. I was lucky to be able to see them in concert a few years ago and the pure beauty and excitement they brought to the stage was amazing. I smiled so hard my cheeks ached! Have you ever heard of Celtic Women? If so, how did you like them? If not, I hope you enjoy! Happy listening!

Hello, my deers! I know I often say that I don't really watch many movies, but I still have a few more recommendations that I've been meaning to share for a while now. So, here is another one for you today! Today's Mori Movie Find is The Secret World of Arrietty, a Studio Ghibli film. While Studio Ghibli is very well known for its films such as My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle (among many other amazing animated titles), I have found that most people are unaware of this little gem that the studio produced. The movie is based on a book series called  The Littles  by John Peterson. Growing up, I was a big fan of the tv series based off of these books and I watched almost every episode. So this movie had a bit of a nostalgia factor for me, and I was delighted to see this fantastical world come to life in a new and enchanting way. The movie's plot is charming, and the scenery, as in any Studio Ghibli movie, is absolutely beautiful. I'd highly ...

Today's mori music find is Agnes Obel. She tends to be a rather popular artist amongst mori and dark mori folk. Her work has a very soft and dreamy feel. Usually, she bases her music around piano, cello, and sometimes violin, using her voice and harmonies to create a haunting effect. Have you ever heard of Agnes Obel? If so, how did you like her music? If not, I hope you enjoy! Happy listening!

Today's post is going to be a little bit different, but it is something I have been meaning to talk about for quite a while now. It's probably something you've noticed too, although most likely subconsciously. That something is the cluttering of the various mori related hashtags across the internet. Specifically, today I want to talk about the case of Instagram.  Around a year ago, I began to notice a growing trend of non-mori related content being hash-tagged with either mori kei, mori girl, or even 森ガール. It started gradually, but over time it has grown to almost consume the tag entirely. If you're like me, you may find yourself wondering why this is the case, and maybe even feeling frustrated to see the tag so cluttered like this. So, I wanted to take a look at some of these posts, and discuss why they bother me. Now, I'm someone who values privacy and respect, so just to be safe I edited every picture to remove account names and covered up faces as...
