Song Review: Ae! group – 《A》BEGINNING

Posted on April 16, 2024 by Nick • 3 Comments

I don’t know if there’s actual correlation between the two, but ever since Johnny’s Entertainment rebranded into Starto Entertainment, I’ve had a hard time falling in love with their music. Maybe it’s an A&R thing, or maybe it’s simply a symptom of a changing industry environment. Whatever it is, recent songs by some of my … Continue reading →

Song Review: Kis-My-Ft2 – Loved One

Posted on April 12, 2024 by Nick • 1 Comment

The music video for Kis-My-Ft2’s newest single has been out for a few days, but I’ve been holding off on writing about it because I honestly couldn’t decide how I felt about the song. For those who have never heard of this group, they boast my favorite J-pop discography, largely due to songs like this … Continue reading →

The Top Three K-Pop Songs of March 2024

Posted on March 31, 2024 by Nick • 28 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. March 2024 Overall Thoughts Okay, this year’s already a little weird. We kicked off with an … Continue reading →

Song Review: Travis Japan – T.G.I. Friday Night

Posted on March 18, 2024 by Nick • 1 Comment

I wouldn’t consider myself the biggest Travis Japan fan overall, but their single Candy Kiss was one of my favorite songs of last year. They excel when given old-school funk beats and an uncomplicated, upbeat sentiment. Someone in the agency must agree, because new single T.G.I. Friday Night feels like a natural extension of that … Continue reading →

Song Review: Snow Man – Love Trigger

Posted on January 5, 2024 by Nick • 2 Comments

Every once and awhile, a favorite act releases a song that simply lands with a thud. For me, Love Trigger is that song for Snow Man. I’m a big Snow Man fan. They often appear near the top of my year-end J-pop lists and I find the group endlessly entertaining. Their musical output has been … Continue reading →
