Best-Of J-Pop Round-Up: January 2021 Edition

Posted on January 30, 2021 by Nick • 3 Comments

I’m back with more J-pop b-sides and singles that never received a full Bias List review. This round-up covers material from October 2020 to January 2021, and I hope you find some treasures to add to your playlist! SixTONES – S.I.X / Special Order SixTONES released their first full-length album earlier this month, and it’s … Continue reading →

Best-Of J-Pop Round-Up: October 2020 Edition

Posted on October 3, 2020 by Nick • 2 Comments

It’s been awhile! As I’ve started covering more J-pop singles on the blog, there haven’t been as many tracks to feature in a J-pop round-up. But, one of the purposes of this feature is to unearth buried treasures. The seven songs below are a mix of singles and b-sides that have caught my attention over … Continue reading →

Best-Of J-Pop Round-Up: 2019 Catch-Up Edition

Posted on June 15, 2020 by Nick • 13 Comments

After starting this feature in February, I hoped to post a new J-Pop round-up every month or so. But, the Covid-19 pandemic put a halt on Japan’s music industry, with very little material coming out since early April. There just hasn’t been much to write about. So, instead of featuring strong b-sides this time, I’m … Continue reading →

Song Review: Bullet Train (Choutokkyuu) – Stand Up

Posted on May 2, 2020 by Nick • 4 Comments

It’s been quite some time since I’ve written about a new Bullet Train track. To be honest, their music just hasn’t been the same since vocalist Koichi left. That’s no dig on the group’s remaining vocal Takashi, who has really kept their sound afloat. But, there’s just so much more you can do with two … Continue reading →

Best-Of J-Pop Round-Up: April 2020 Edition

Hey, I kept my promise! After February’s maiden voyage, I’m back with the second Bias List J-Pop Round-Up! This is the place where I get to recommend Japanese tracks or albums that I’ve been into over the past few weeks. Like before, this won’t be a place for Japanese songs by Korean artists. Those will … Continue reading →

Song Review: Bullet Train (Choutokkyuu) – Jesus

Posted on July 11, 2018 by Nick • 1 Comment

It’s pretty ballsy to title your new pop single “Jesus,” but then again Bullet Train have never been lacking in nerve. They’ve built their sound on a fusion of straightforward dance pop and experimental (sometimes abrasive) production flourishes. Jesus represents a mid-point between the two, surrounding its catchy chorus with a boisterous blend of influences. … Continue reading →

Song Review: Bullet Train (Choutokkyuu) – A Kind Of Love

Posted on March 10, 2018 by Nick • 3 Comments

With the departure of founding member Koichi, Bullet Train’s already unique configuration has become even stranger. The group had previously utilized two vocalists to support their five dancers, but now they’re down to only one. That position is a tall order for the group’s youngest, Takashi, who is now responsible for carrying every note of … Continue reading →

Song Review: Satori Boys Club – Help You

Posted on January 2, 2018 by Nick • 3 Comments

As often happens this time of year, I’ve been poking around East Asian music from outside the k-pop industry. With new releases slowing to a trickle throughout December, it was as good a time as any to check in with Japan. And one of the most reliable providers of quality j-pop over the past few … Continue reading →
