Though the ultra-catchy Fireworks leapfrogged into my top ten singles list, I like One Love One Heart’s music best when it blends their voices to … Continue reading
Now that I’ve counted down my top 50 J-pop songs of the year, I wanted to briefly spotlight my favorite tracks that weren’t selected as singles.

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
I’ve decided to kick off a new feature! In “Albums You Must Hear,” I plan to spotlight underrated albums that I think deserve a wider audience. 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
