I adore Higedan. They're one of the few Japanese bands I still avidly follow and continually get impressed by. Their ascent into super stardom in their home country of Japan has been nothing short of incredible and with songs like Pretender, Yesterday and Stand By You, it's hard not to see why. The groups unique … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Laughter – Official HIGE DANdism
It's been a while since I've talked about a new Japanese release. But if there is one song that demands it, it's King & Prince' incredible Mazy Night. Ever since my dive into the world of Johnny's Entertainment in March, I've been falling further and further down this particular rabbit hole. Not only is the … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Mazy Night – King & Prince
For the first time ever on this blog, we've got a double song review! Of all my music discoveries this year, Leo Leiri has got to be near the top of the list. She's got one hell of voice and thankfully her music is equally as enjoyable. While I haven't explored much of her back … Continue reading Double Song Review: Answer + Mikansei – Leo leiri
When compared to last years more restrained release schedule, BTS have been utterly prolific this year. Stay Gold is the groups 6th!! music video this year and it's only June. Looking at it in perspective, the group have pretty much released one mv per month, a staggering feat in itself. However, with this much material … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Stay Gold – BTS
Year released: 2009 Although I've fallen in love with many Johnny's entertainment groups over the past few months, the group that have probably struck me the hardest are Kat-Tun. Not only do they have an incredibly consistent yet varied discography, but their incredible vocal blend is enough to make almost any song transcendent. Even though … Continue reading JPOP HALL OF FAME: Rescue – KAT-TUN
Although I adore Jpop I've rarely been attracted towards the world of super large girl groups. There isn't really a particular reason for this but I've always found the work of soloists and boy groups much more appealing to my ears. Though they each have some incredibly strong singles, groups like AKB48 and Nogizaka46 have … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Relationships. No way way – Morning Musume
While SEVENTEEN have been releasing some of K-pop's strongest singles in their homeland of Korea, their Japanese work has been much more scattershot. Other than their brilliant high energy 2018 debut, Call Call Call!, they've embraced a much more moody and dark sound. This has impacted both their recent Korean material, as well as their … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Fallin Flower – SEVENTEEN
Well this is one long overdue review. I've known about SixTONES and their long anticipated debut Imitation Rain since its release all the way back in January, but I never really found the time to give it a proper listen. The shortened music video also didn't help my cause. But ever since the Covid-19 outbreak … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Imitation Rain – SixTONES
Recently, I've begun to dive deeper into the world of incredibly large Japanese girl groups. Of these, Nogizaka46 is probably the one that I've taken the most interest towards. Not only do they have some of the strongest j-pop singles of all time up their sleeve, but their discography as whole is incredibly solid. This … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Anastasia – Nogizaka46
Over the past few weeks, I've had an almost unhealthy obsession with the works of OT5 TVXQ. The addition of the majority of their discography back onto Spotify certainly helped, but even before this I've always believed that their work as a duo never came close to their work a quintet. Not only did they … Continue reading SONG REVIEW: Brava!!Brava!!Brava!! – Kim Jaejoong
