In reference to my need to completely 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 could have been coated on the weblog already, however my hope is that it will develop into a one-stop store for anybody taken with what’s new in J-pop.
With that in thoughts, right here’s the place you are available in: I’m one individual 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 identical to I do with my opinions, I’ll wait till full variations of songs can be found earlier than posting them on this round-up. This can largely apply to Johnny’s teams, who nonetheless restrict nearly all of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited variations.

Entry – Arc Leap’n To The Sky
Entry is again! Sadly, regardless of its loopy title the music just isn’t amongst their greatest.
Ado – RuLe
Plenty of heavy hitters this week. I are likely to run sizzling or chilly with Ado’s music. This one’s somewhat chilly for me, however I think about many followers will like it.
aespa – Sizzling Mess
I wrote about this right here. I didn’t look after it.
Aimyon – Fortunate Shade
Not likely my factor.
AiNA THE END × Yuta Bandoh – Creation
Nice, however very, very sluggish. (Although it does decide up midway via)
Ayumu Imazu – The place Do We Go!
Funky and light-weight, however considerably throwaway.
BE:FIRST x ATEEZ – Hush-Hush
I wrote about this right here. I didn’t look after it.
CSR – Larger
I wrote about this right here. I assumed it was ‘meh.’
GEMN (Tatsuya Kitani x Kento Nakajima) – Deadly
That is Kento Nakajima’s first musical work since leaving Attractive Zone, and comes within the type of a collaboration. I’ve excessive hopes for his future, however this music doesn’t do something for me.
Hitsujibungaku – Burning
I like this group’s vocalist and their 90’s alt-rock sound. Simply want the music was extra memorable.
The Jet Boy Bangerz – What Time Is It?
Boring.
Key – Tongue Tied

LiSA – Black Field
A stable rock monitor. Nothing extra, nothing much less.
Mamoru Miyano – The Battle
A a lot lighter, funkier “battle” than I’d have anticipated.
MAZZEL – Seaside Story
Innocent summertime fluff, however lacks ambition.
Mrs. Inexperienced Apple – Apollodorus
A step in the appropriate route, however this band’s singles are all beginning to sound the identical to me.
NiziU – Rise Up
I could have extra ideas on this as soon as the video is launched. It’s an fascinating shift for them. A bit darker.
Official HIGE DANdism – Sharon
Related ideas to Mrs. Inexperienced Apple’s music. Sharon is ok, but it surely seems like so many different songs by the group and lacks the punch of their greatest materials.
Sandaime J Soul Brothers – Blaze
Oof. I want they’d launch one other Rising Soul or R.Y.U.S.E.I.
TRENDZ – Season Of You

TXT – We’ll By no means Change
I wrote about this right here. I assumed it was a bit uninteresting.
Vaundy – Homunculus
For many who love traditional rock.
Yoasobi – Undead (music of the week!)
Yoasobi’s music isn’t usually my factor, however I can respect what it does. And in a really underwhelming week, it is a standout. The power alone will get it over the road.
Tasuku Hatanaka – Dying Want (2020)
Tasuku Hatanaka’s full music movies are being uploaded on YouTube! I like when this occurs to nice J-pop artists. Dying Want was a 2020 spotlight and now we are able to watch the entire thing. I like the theatrical drama of this.
