Song Review: One Love One Heart – Yell For You
A good portion of my 2023 has been spent listening to and learning about co-ed J-pop group One Love One Heart. They scored two spots in my top ten J-pop songs of 2022 and have released my favorite album of the year so far, which I wrote about in detail here. If you haven’t yet … Continue reading

What I’ve Been Listening to During K-Pop’s Boring Months (aka: Some Epic Music to Add to Your Playlist)
As I mentioned during yesterday’s monthly K-pop round-up, the past two months haven’t been exactly thrilling when it comes to K-pop. So, I’ve taken the time to dive back into some old J-pop favorites and discover some artists I’d never listened to before. I tend to embark on these deep J-pop dives each winter as … Continue reading
Albums You Must Hear: One Love One Heart – LOVE1

I anticipate these will mostly be J-pop since almost all K-pop albums now enjoy a wide global reach. I’ll try to feature albums that are easily available on streaming … Continue reading

Song Review: Solidemo – Taking Off!!
Sometimes a song’s title tells you all you need to know. How could something called “Taking Off!!” (with no less than two exclamation points) not have anthemic heft to it? J-pop act Solidemo have been on my radar for years, but I haven’t often connected with their music. They’re a straight-down-the-middle pop group, with a … Continue reading
Song Review: BuZZ – Sun and Love
Some melodies are so instant and insistent that you come away from the very first listen with the hook rattling around in your head. This is often referred to as an “earworm,” and Japanese group BuZZ’s Sun and Love is the mother of all earworms. These guys have been around for a few years, but … Continue reading
