The Top Three K-Pop Songs of April 2022

Posted on April 30, 2022 by Nick • 39 Comments

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. April 2022 Overall Thoughts In a paradoxical trend, the average song rating on this blog has … Continue reading →

Song Review: Naniwa Danshi – The Answer

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Nick • 4 Comments

Naniwa Danshi are back with their second single, and it’s a huge switch-up from the cotton candy catchiness of Ubu Love. That song has enjoyed great longevity on my playlist. It delivers pretty much everything I want from its (admittedly niche) style of J-pop. But, things can’t always be sunshine and rainbows. The Answer acts … Continue reading →

The Bias List’s Favorite Korean and Japanese Dramas of 2021

Posted on December 30, 2021 by Nick • 24 Comments

As I was looking back at the dramas I’ve watched this year, I realized that many of the ones I stuck with weren’t even from 2021. Overall, my taste continued to veer toward Japanese series. They just feel quirkier (and shorter!). Rather than try to rank dramas that are so different from one another, here’s … 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 →

Grading the J-Pop Agencies 2021: JOHNNY & ASSOCIATES

Posted on November 22, 2021 by Nick • 28 Comments

I’m sure many Bias List readers are like, “Johnny what?!?”, but I’ve decided to branch out this year and offer my thoughts on one of J-pop’s biggest agencies. I mostly want to do this because I think they’ve had a great year worth writing about. As usual, the thoughts are my own and aren’t privy … Continue reading →

Song Review: Naniwa Danshi – Ubu Love

Posted on November 13, 2021 by Nick • 18 Comments

The emergence of a new Johnny’s group will always be exciting. It was exciting in January 2020, when Snow Man and SixTONES made a dual debut, and it’s been even more exciting watching these groups go on to dominate the idol industry and usher in a new era for Johnny’s. When Naniwa Danshi’s debut was … Continue reading →
