When SWEETUNE Went J-POP: A Look at a Truly Underrated Discography

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Nick • 9 Comments

If you’re anything like me, you’re very upset that legendary production team Sweetune has been sidelined from the K-pop industry for the past year or so. I’d kill for some new Sweetune music in 2020, but for now we’ll have to settle for past glories. I’ve combed my archive to bring you some Sweetune tracks … Continue reading →

The Top 20 J-Pop Songs of 2019

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Nick • 11 Comments

Despite its title, I’m quite confident that this list does not represent the “best” J-pop tracks of the year. It’s a much more filtered list than my K-pop countdowns, because I just don’t keep up with J-pop as strongly as I’d like to.

Song Review: Goo Hara (Kara) – Midnight Queen

Posted on September 26, 2019 by Nick • 6 Comments

Among other things, 2019 has suffered a distinct lack of Sweetune-produced tracks. Their work has been relegated to severely under-known boy groups and idol band IZ, with none of their songs making waves outside of small fan bases. So, when I heard that former Kara member Goo Hara would be returning with a Sweetune-penned Japanese … Continue reading →

Song Review: Thunder – Sign (ft. Goo Hara)

Posted on December 8, 2016 by Nick • Leave a comment

Thunder (whose moniker sounds more like a stripper than a k-pop star), is branching out on his own with his first mini album since leaving boy group MBLAQ in 2014. To help him in his solo efforts, he’s enlisted Goo Hara, who’s also a former member of a group (this time the disbanded Kara). They team … Continue reading →
