Song Review: Miyavi – Hush Hush (ft. Kang Daniel)

Posted on April 12, 2022 by Nick • 4 Comments

Miyavi and Kang Daniel’s Hush Hush has been kicking around for a few months now, originally released as part of last September’s Imaginary album. A Korean version has also been recorded as an OST for the drama Rookie Cops. Now, we’ve cycled back to the original with an official music video! I’ve been a massive … Continue reading →

A Trio of Excellent New J-Pop B-sides!

Posted on April 6, 2022 by Nick • 21 Comments

As I’ve lamented several times already, 9-rated songs have been few and far between this year on the blog. Even many of my “buried treasures” haven’t quite crossed that threshold. I don’t often feature buried treasures for J-pop songs. There’s only so much music I have time to cover, and I know the Bias List … Continue reading →

The Top Three K-Pop Songs of March 2022

At the end of each month, I look back at my three favorite title tracks by K-pop artists. I take my own ratings into account, but there’s a bit of wiggle room as certain songs tend to grow or fade. March 2022 Overall Thoughts I’m eager to write a super effusive, super excited monthly round-up. Unfortunately, … Continue reading →

Song Review: Miyavi – Strike It Out

Posted on March 19, 2022 by Nick • 5 Comments

Miyavi’s Strike It Out premiered at the very beginning of this year, and I assumed it would remain an OST without additional promotion. I don’t often write “buried treasure” posts for J-pop, but this would have been an easy contender. All’s well that ends well, because I get to cover Strike It Out months later … Continue reading →

My Top J-Pop Songs countdown continues in its expanded format! We’ve got fifty of the best (mostly idol) tracks Japan had to offer, with many great choices relegated to the honorable mentions. Because I don’t write about all of these songs the way I do for K-pop, this is always a fun countdown to compile. … Continue reading →

Song Review: Miyavi – New Gravity

Posted on September 15, 2021 by Nick • 27 Comments

Over twenty years since his debut, Miyavi is releasing some of the strongest albums of his career. He’s found a great juncture that encompasses solo work, collaborations, Japanese and English lyrics, original songs and covers. His new album Imaginary wraps these facets in his incredible guitar work and knack for a killer melody. K-pop fans … Continue reading →

The Top 50 J-Pop Songs of 2020: 30-11

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Nick • 8 Comments

I’ve compiled a “Best of J-pop” list every year since The Bias List started, but it always came from a very narrow point of view. In 2020, one of my personal resolutions was to follow the J-pop industry more broadly and (hopefully) expand my palette in the process. So while those past lists definitely included some epic … Continue reading →

Song Review: Miyavi – Bang!

Posted on April 22, 2020 by Nick • 5 Comments

Since its release last month, I’ve held up News’ Story as 2020’s best J-pop album so far, but Miyavi’s new Holy Nights might just give it a run for its money. Album track Heaven Is A Place On Earth is worth the price of admission alone, with a final spine-tingling minute-and-a-half that may just be … Continue reading →

Buried Treasure: Kis-My-Ft2 – Freeze

Posted on May 4, 2018 by Nick • 5 Comments

Most of the time, a group’s title track is the best song on their album. But, sometimes b-sides deserve recognition too. In the singles-oriented world of k-pop (and j-pop), I wanted to spotlight some of these buried treasures and give them the props they deserve. This is probably the most “buried” of buried treasures I’ve … Continue reading →
