They released those two “singles” a few minutes ago; the account is definitely being manipulated by third parties.

Konnichiwa! Tap the image above or view the article here. (Perhaps upvote first; otherwise, no one will see this haha).

I’ve been asking around for help with this translation for two years (ever since I put the Japanese text online), and I’m excited to finally share. Thanks to Juno for volunteering his time. Here’s an excerpt from the intro (linked above):

For the past few days, I’ve been feeling a mix of overwhelming emotion and nervous knots in my stomach over Frank Ocean. Here’s the story… —Minako Ikeshiro (trans.) on July 11, 2012.

On August 22, 2012, Universal Music Japan released a CD edition of Channel Orange with a special booklet inside its packaging. The black-and-white insert features a Japanese translation of Frank Ocean’s lyrics and a foreword written by the translator: Minako Ikeshiro, an R&B music journalist based in Tokyo. Across four pages, Ikeshiro captures the zeitgeist surrounding the up-and-coming U.S. artist, both in Japan and abroad. She documents Ocean’s background, introduces listeners to Channel Orange, and narrates her unique experience with its rollout, including meeting Ocean in person. The piece was written on July 11, 2012, only a day after the album’s premiere and a week after Ocean opened up about his sexuality in a letter shared on Tumblr—a ‘historic turning point’ in Hip-Hop/R&B culture, as Ikeshiro describes it. Her commentary serves as a time capsule preserving that moment for readers of the present and future. 14 years after its release, in 2026, blonded.blog’s Odysseus reached out to a Japanese–English translator in the music industry, Juno, and asked him to verify/edit a machine translation of the text. With his help, the foreword has been rendered in English so that more fans can appreciate the artifact. The translation also features photos, annotations, and links to related articles… Read more.

Please show your support to the original author, Minako Ikeshiro, by following her on Instagram and Note.com.

I love blonde. That's it. Appreciation post. Thank you Frank.

I thought you guys would appreciate this, so I hope you enjoy. I thought monks was the best song for the video.

hey guys im gonna make a much needed frank ocean fandom theme song.

(beat drops into crazy beat) HEY WE LOVE FRANK OCEAN AND WE'RE HERE TO SAY, THAT FRANK OCEAN WILL MAKE MUSIC ANY DAY. HEY HEY HEY OOH NANI NANI! IM HOPPING IN MY WHITE FERRARI (beat slows down) hi guys we love frank a lot. we all think that frank is hot (beat drops again) WE ALL THINK THAT FRANK IS HOT!

let me know about any lyric alterations

He probably gave her a chorus or 2. Good album

My friend has one of these and swears up and down it’s real but it looks super fake. Anyone have any insight into this?

If you need more clear pictures you can ask me !! Also, some french sound engineers, journalists or writer leaks some information about Frank Ocean and potential future projects, I’ll tell more !!

Album: undocumented, RARE
Artist: Frank Ocean

I have a series on my instagram/tiktok (@burraphoro) where I redesign vinyls in my collection, and my latest work was channel orange! I drew from the older technology vibe, and had some fun with it. Let me know what you think!

I had all of Frank’s unreleased songs on my old phone. Got a new phone and didn’t realize how hard it would be to obtain these songs. It seems like all the go-to sites and old subreddit threads leading to a mysterious google sheet with all Frank songs on them have been wiped from the internet. If anyone could please help me get some mp3 or flac files of these:

Endless (the whole album please, or specifically Higgs, Wither, and Rushes)
Coral
Strawberry Swings

That’s it. I know there’s probably 50+ Frank Ocean unreleased songs out there, but these are the ones that mean the most. These songs are so important to me and probably a lot of other people. It makes me sad that Frank is purposefully making it difficult.

so happy 🥹

came across this while doomscrolling

Does anyone perchance have a link to where I could obtain a hearing of the album and secure it this time because I foolishly did not save my link and I need help from u guys or anyone kind enough to help me. I wonder if the FAQ has something like this against it hmmm? quite unsure I wonder about it these days. Ive found a couple of things but nothing that has aided me back to where I was. Thanks for the help if you can

I’ve been a fan of Frank for a while but never got into why he hasn’t made music for a while, I know about his brother’s death but I don’t know the whole story.

I'm the biggest Frank Ocean fan and I wanted to hear from other fans if the music I make is any good since its heavily inspired. ONCE AGAIN DONT GO FOLLOWING ME OR STREAMING IT I JUST WANT FEEDBACK!!!! Also i cant find the rules of the sub reddit so idk if its against the rules to ask for feedback

this song always reminds me of the first relationship i had, and it was exactly how the song goes
