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 some other new J-pop tracks you’ve loved within the feedback so we are able to get a fuller spectrum every week.
2023-2025 Index
2026 Index: Dec 28 – Jan 3 // Jan 4 – Jan 10 // Jan 11 – Jan 17 // Jan 18 – Jan 24 // Jan 25 – Jan 31
Ado – Angelseek
I suppose I missed this final week. I’m not her audience, however that is superb.
Da-iCE – Strive&Groove
I attempted. I didn’t actually groove.
Fantastics – Finale (music of the week!)
That is Fantastics’ greatest single in ages. I’m so pleased to listen to them again on this slick EDM sound.
Kana Nishino – Kiminosei
Sprightly indie pop.
Lil League – LILMATIC
That title…
Anyway, that is too reliant on its interpolation to work for me.
MAZZEL – Banquet Bang
The title of this music intrigues me. Sadly, the precise music has a predictable Okay-pop sound. The refrain is first rate, I suppose.
MYERA – Crushproof!
I just like the message of this and in addition benefit from the music’s slight rock influences.
ØMI – The Fusion
I’m not likely into the refrain, however I just like the verses. A powerful electro thump is all the time appreciated.
Rol3ert – Savior
This has a pleasant driving vitality.
Rosy Chronicle – Miracle
It’s just about what you’d count on from a Good day Challenge single. I admire the drama, although.
Ryugujo – The Embers
I’m not likely feeling the brand new songs on the deluxe model of their EP, however that is probably the most melodic so it’s my favourite for now.
SixTONES – Ichibyo
A wonderfully serviceable, effusive rock monitor.
SKE48 – Sandarudaze
I benefit from the chugging, celebratory vitality of this, even when the music is one thing we’ve heard many instances earlier than.
Snow Man – Stars (music of the week!)
I’m not a sports activities man, however sports activities associated themes are all the time good. This can be a sturdy entry from Snow Man.
Sota Hanamura (Da-iCE) – Me.exe
Loads of pomp and circumstance, however the music does nothing for me.
Takase Toya & Fumiya Sato – Please Miss Me (music of the week!)
This has a continuing sense of construct that I completely love. Higher but, it pays off on the promise of that construct through the refrain. That is nice!
Teddyloid (Altervoice) – Rider, Rider
I’m undecided what’s up with the “Altervoice” a part of this, however the music is enjoyable.
WATWING – Nani Wana Be
The skittering percussion is sort of attention-grabbing however in any other case this isn’t for me.
WEST. – Kore de Iinoda!
An excessive amount of mugging for me to take pleasure in.
