In reference to my want 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 might have been coated on the weblog already, however my hope is that this may change into a one-stop store for anybody concerned about 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.

Bestted – CLIPPING!!!
Who doesn’t like a bit of recent jack swing? I don’t know who these guys are however the tune is enjoyable and the vocals are surprisingly robust. One of many higher debuts I’ve heard these days.
Boku ga Mitakatta Aozora (BOKUAO) – Kairo ni tsuki
A candy, surging sound.
Bullet Prepare (Chotokkyu) – Actual
A bounding electro dance observe. I prefer it!
cosmosy – Physics
Very loungy dance music. Not my factor.
ExWHYZ – Remorse (tune of the week!)
An enormous, satisfying EDM observe.
Fujii Kaze – Casket Lady
This has a pleasant groove however I prefer it lower than his previous couple of singles. I like how he’s persevering with to advertise this album, although.
INI – U Mine (tune of the week!)
That is tremendous fairly. The tone jogs my memory a little bit of TWS’s Final Pageant (as filtered via 90s-style manufacturing), although the tune isn’t as robust. The vocal-led refrain could be very hanging, although.
Kira (Girls²) – Fairly Boss
Sigh. Extra sing-talk posturing. What number of of those songs do we want?
NiziU – Fairy Magic
Because the title suggests, that is ultra-kawaii sort idol pop – colourful, frilly clothes and all.
NiziU – Villain
This unit observe is of a distinct style than their standard materials. Not a fan of all of the sing-talk, although.
Nogizaka46 – Yumenonioi
They’ve filmed a whole lot of music movies for this spherical of promotions! This one’s a solo ballad. It’s fairly boring, sadly.
One N’ Solely – Experience
A nice tropical sound.
The Tremendous Fruit – Welcome To Our World
It’s been awhile since we’ve heard from these guys. That is enjoyable and jaunty, simply as you’d hope.
Takase Toya – Climber (tune of the week!)
A pleasant piano ballad that turns right into a thumping anthem. Don’t flip this off earlier than the switch-up.
Tomohisa Yamashita – The Artist
This rock sound matches him surprisingly properly.
Yena – Star! (ft. Hatsune Miku)
Followers of her quirkier aspect will in all probability love this. It’s a bit too chirpy aegyo for me.
