Astro were one of my first musical obsessions after creating this blog. Their debut year delivered pop classic after pop classic, only to culminate in the brilliantly bright, brilliantly melodic Dream Part One album in 2017. Can you believe there was a time when both they and GFriend were reliably releasing Iggy/Youngbae-produced bangers? I miss … Continue reading

Reviewing Every KIS-MY-FT2 Single: Fire Beat & Inori
In honor of Kis-My-Ft2’s complete videography being uploaded to YouTube (in edited form, of course…), I can’t resist writing about each single. To put this in context for Bias List readers, Kis-My-Ft2 (or Kisumai, as they’re often known) are my J-pop version of Infinite. That’s how much I love them and their discography.

Buried Treasure: TXT – Thursday’s Child Has Far To Go
A K-pop act’s title track isn’t always the best song on their album, even if it’s the one most people will hear. Sometimes, b-sides deserve recognition too.

Song Review: Naniwa Danshi – The Answer
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
Song Review: RoaD-B – Nonstop
Sound the alarms! We have a K-pop emergency. Sweetune – yes, the Sweetune – have returned. They’re hunkered down in a bunker so nugu I didn’t even find them until the song was brought to my attention on twitter. But, they’re back nonetheless and RoaD-B’s Nonstop has raised my K-pop spirits just when they needed … Continue reading
