New & Noteworthy J-pop of the Week (April 13, 2025)

In connection with my desire to fully keep up with the J-pop industry, I’m planning to do a weekly round-up of any new releases that have caught my ear.

Song Review: XG – In The Rain

Posted on April 11, 2025 by Nick • 13 Comments

XG fans are spoiled for choice, as it seems the group are constantly releasing new material. They’re currently on their world tour — a fact I only know because every website I visit seems to be advertising this to me. In the midst of this, they’ve also released new single In The Rain. This track … Continue reading →

Song Review: XG – Is This Love

Posted on March 10, 2025 by Nick • 12 Comments

The music video for XG’s not-quite-new single Is This Love was delayed to improve quality, only to have fans calling out its use of AI transitions. I don’t really have a horse in this race so I’ll bow out of the controversy, but I am always interested in the music. Thus far, XG have swerved … Continue reading →

Song Review: Genic – It’s Showtime

Posted on January 20, 2025 by Nick • 5 Comments

Mixed-gender group Genic have been one of my favorite J-pop acts for the past few years, and last year’s N_G album only cemented that. Unfortunately, since then I haven’t connected with any of their singles in the same way, making me worried for their upcoming album If. However, the splashy It’s Showtime gets us right … Continue reading →

Song Review: XG – Howling

Posted on November 8, 2024 by Nick • 12 Comments

XG are back with their second mini album, building on the success of earlier 2024 singles Something Ain’t Right and IYKYK. Those two songs touched on the dancier side of their music, so it makes sense that Howling would move back into hip-hop. These seem to be XG’s two musical modes, with a healthy dose … Continue reading →

Song Review: Sooyoung (SNSD) – Unstoppable

Posted on October 29, 2024 by Nick • 10 Comments

SNSD’s Sooyoung actually started her idol career in a short-lived J-pop group before eventually debuting in Korea. It’s funny, then, that it took this long for her to release a solo single in Japan. Better late than never, as Unstoppable recaptures some of the magic from SNSD’s discography while showcasing Sooyoung’s own charisma. A song … Continue reading →
