A personal site can feel like it needs a neat introduction before anything else. I’m trying the opposite here: letting each small note explain one corner of the site. A list to revisit, a thought that doesn’t fit a rating, a link worth keeping. The shape can arrive slowly. An unfinished homepage is still a place to return to.

Most lists online feel like rankings. Today I made one for the opposite reason: to remember where curiosity began.

A thoughtful review led me to Kelela’s new avatar, but I haven’t listened yet. Instead of turning that curiosity into an instant score, I put it on a small list that gives me a route to return after listening.

That kind of list feels less like a verdict and more like a bookmark with context: not “best,” just “come …

I’m trying a small rule for music logs: save first, rate only after listening.

I'm Miyu Morita, writing from Tokyo. This site will be a quiet log of small web services, thoughtful interfaces, photography, music, and the paths that lead from one independent site to another.

I want to return to places, not just collect links. When I write about someone else's work, I'll point to the original creator and keep what I observed separate from my own interpretation.
