In reference to my want to totally 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 taken with 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 some other new J-pop tracks you’ve loved within the feedback so we will get a fuller spectrum every week.
*And similar to I do with my critiques, I’ll wait till full variations of songs can be found earlier than posting them on this round-up. It will largely apply to Johnny’s teams, who nonetheless restrict nearly all of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited variations.

Cyberjapan Dancers – Bounce
Okay, the t&a is reductive, however the tune itself is definitely respectable.
Da-iCE – Story
I want Da-iCE to make enjoyable, funky tracks once more. This simply seems like a primary rock band.
f5ve – Underground
That is enjoyable and quirky. A bit gimmicky for me, although.
Giga & TeddyLoid – Extremely C
I’m at all times taken with TeddyLoid’s manufacturing. The instrumental slays. The vocals are far more polarizing.
Kana Nishino – Eyes On You
A really timeless J-pop sound.
Lienel – Curry On Love
Who made them report this? I’m embarrassed.
Morning Musume ’24 – Sai Kiyou
I like the combination of latest jack swing and trendy manufacturing. The tune’s a bit unfocused, although.
NiziU – Rise Up
I wrote about this right here. I appreciated it.
ONE OK ROCK – Delusion:All
Feels like mid-2000’s rock. The refrain is fairly good however the tune’s a bit gloomy for me.
Penguin Analysis – Fireplace And Worry
I like their singer’s highly effective voice. The tune doesn’t match their greatest, although.
Psychic Fever vs. Wolf Howl Concord – Yin Yang (tune of the week!)
LDH’s newest Battle Of Tokyo sequence kicks off with this collaboration. In one of the simplest ways, it’s in no way what I anticipated. Nice melodies, glossy manufacturing and a dynamic association. I’m impressed!
RED-i – Crimson Influence
For individuals who like their lady teams with a rock edge.
RIIZE – Identical Key
That is each RIIZE’s first OST and first authentic Japanese launch. It’s wonderful and purposeful for what it’s. It’s good to listen to their voices.
Sandaime J Soul Brothers – Blaze
This tune now has a music video. I’m nonetheless not feeling it, sadly.
Twice – Dive
I wrote about this right here. I assumed it was uninteresting.
DASEIN – Sakura Fubuki (2001)
DASEIN have been a little-known digital rock duo within the theatrical mould of acts like T.M.Revolution. They’re fairly enjoyable, with some very campy music movies. That is considered one of my favorites. That outfit!
