ANGERME – Bibitaru Ichigeki
This group is fairly hit and miss for me. This leans nearer to “miss,” although I like its power.
Da-iCE – I Surprise
I posted about this earlier than however now it has an official music video.
f5ve – Lettuce
This can be a re-debut for the very short-lived SG5. It’s not for me, and it’s soooo brief!
Genin Wa Jibun Ni Aru – Mania
I like this. In reality, I’ve loved their previous few singles. The guitar is a pleasant contact.
Glim Spanky – Fighter
Fiery power that jogs my memory of Superfly’s wonderful Dynamite.
Hinatazaka46 – Amegafuttatte
These Sakamichi teams simply aren’t doing it for me this 12 months. It’s bizarre as a result of their 2023 felt fairly sturdy.
ICEx – Bilimi
I actually just like the manufacturing on this one. I’m hoping an upcoming music video will assist me recognize the track extra as a result of the beat is nice.
Kamigata Boyz – Musikinin de Eejanaika Love
I can’t with this type of over-the-top Kansai sound. It’s enjoyable to see all these teams collectively, however the track is like an obnoxious comedy sketch.
Child Phenomenon – Ace In The Gap
LDH are giving these new Jr.Exile teams a ton of releases this 12 months. Sadly, little or no of the music stands as much as the debut eras of Generations, The Rampage or Fantastics.
LANA – My Life
That is the second track from LANA I’ve loved, so perhaps I must dig deeper into her work.
MAISONdes – Wannabe (ft. Hoshimachi Suisei & Sakuma)
The animated aspect of J-pop is basically a thriller to me so I don’t know a lot about any of those individuals, however the track is among the stronger choices this week. That refrain slaps.
Queen Bee – Headless Angel (track of the week!)
I’m like a damaged report, praising every little thing Avu-chan touches. However I can’t assist it that each single new Queen Bee or Ryugujo track is superior. This isn’t as on the spot as Tremendous Memorial, however I nonetheless like it.
SixTONES – Neiro
Boring.
w-inds. – Creativeness
It’s wonderful how lengthy w-inds. have been within the business and the way stable their music stays. This can be a enjoyable summery bop.
&TEAM – Possibly
Boring Pt.2, however a bit extra melodically satisfying.
Romeo (Park Jung Min) – Give Me Your Coronary heart (2012)
Romeo is a pseudonym for SS501’s Park Jung Min, and the fabric he launched below this title is absolutely good. Give Me Your Coronary heart is the centerpiece — a raging dance rock observe with a killer refrain.
