In reference to my want to totally sustain with the J-pop business, I’m planning on doing a weekly round-up of any new releases which have caught my ear. A few of these might have been coated on the weblog already, however my hope is that this may turn into a one-stop store for anybody concerned with what’s new in J-pop.
With that in thoughts, right here’s the place you are available in: I’m one particular person with one set of musical preferences, so please embed another new J-pop tracks you’ve loved within the feedback so we are able to get a fuller spectrum every week.
*And similar to I do with my evaluations, I’ll wait till full variations of songs can be found earlier than posting them on this round-up. It will largely apply to Johnny’s teams, who nonetheless restrict the vast majority of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited variations.
**Since that is the primary version of this function, I’m going to incorporate songs launched since February 1st.
BE:FIRST – Growth Growth Again
I believe that is the primary BE:FIRST single I’ve related with. The funky, early-00’s hip-hop vibe is absolutely enjoyable.
Daichi Miura – ALOS
Daichi’s again with a track that’s not a ballad! (Although it practically is, tbh…)
I at all times get pleasure from his music most when his voice blends with evocative synth soundscapes.
Fantastics – Panorama Jet
I like Fantastics a lot, and I used to be excited when this track dropped out of nowhere. Initially, I used to be bowled over by the sheer bulk of prolonged notes within the refrain, however now I look ahead to them. It’s so upbeat and joyful! Will we be getting an mv?
Generations – Wanderlust
I despise music movies shot in iPhone decision, however the track itself is an excellent burst of vitality.
Genic – Taste (choose of the week!)
I wrote about this one right here. I liked it!
KAT-TUN – Fantasia (album)
I wrote concerning the title observe right here. I preferred it!
However, the album can also be tremendous good. It could lack the standout classics of previous triumphs like Kusabi and Come Right here, however the tracklist is bulletproof. I’m embedding the opposite promotional observe as effectively, together with a b-side I actually like and the sampler for the usual version of the album.
Masaki Sato – Ding Dong
There’s one thing so old school concerning the melodies on this track. It’s fairly charming, particularly should you’re searching for a extra nostalgic sound.
NMB48 – Completed
I don’t understand how I really feel about this one but. I’m undecided this model of manufacturing actually matches this group, however I admire what it’s attempting to do.
The Rampage – No Gravity
I wrote about this one right here. I liked it!
Sakurazaka46 – Cool
This track and its a-side Sakuratsuki are among the strongest work this group has delivered in awhile. The video could be very cool, too.
Snow Man – Tapestry
I wrote about this one right here. I liked it!
XG – Left Proper
I wrote about this one right here. I assumed it was okay.
Zipang Opera – Kaminari Taste
I personally choose the opposite two songs Zipang Opera launched just lately, however this one has a pleasant refrain.
CODE-V – Impulse (2015)
A refrain this superb deserves all of the success on this planet.
