Ado – Monstruo (track of the week!)
An attention-grabbing twist on her sound. The vocal is intense as common. I really like the brass breakdowns. The manufacturing will get extra insane because the track goes on in the absolute best method.

Artistic choreo. Dangerous track.

That is like an previous KinKi Children track. I recognize the nostalgia.
I.ADORE – Idolize
It’s all the time attention-grabbing when voice actors get into the real-life idol sport. This track’s simply okay, although.
INI – Past The Sky (track of the week!)
I’ve all the time beloved the rock sound for them. They’re having a powerful yr.
izna – Dumb Scorching!
Yawn.
JO1 – Sakura
I feel their complete US EP is produced by Dem Jointz? It simply makes them sound like everybody else, which is miserable.
Lil League – Bokuwosagashiteta
An uncharacteristic ballad from them.
ME:I – Flute
It was all I might do to not flip this off instantly when that annoying flute pattern got here in. The remainder of the monitor is just not significantly better. Terrible “refrain”.

This has a very nice groove to it. Nice background/temper music, if nothing else.
NAQT Vane – Breathe
I wrote about this just a few weeks in the past and now it has a music video.
Queen Bee – Suspense

A candy, surging summer season monitor.
STARGLOW – GOTH
There’s nothing goth about this, however no matter.
TAKARA – Time Is Cash
Yeah… it is a no.

A bit too muted for my style, however I like the general indie rock sound.
