Song of the Week “OLA!!” by Yuzu
Japanese duo Yuzu is a group you will always know when listening to their music. Not a bad thing at all. They give their pop song a bit of a Spanish flair. It’s a cheerful and upbeat song that is perfect for spring and makes you (ok, me) happy when listening to it. I also like the back and forth

Happy Monday! Let’s kick off the work week with an uplifting dance song from a group belonging to the EXILE TRIBE. GENERATIONS is releasing a new single on January 28th. 「Sing It Loud」 is a great song that makes you feel good and makes you want to dance along with them. Check it out. Pretty nifty, huh? If you like

I created tons of playlists and loaded them down with tons of music. That’s me. It may be hard to believe, but I am going through and pulling out my absolute favorites from 2014. That’s a lot of music to sift through and sometimes I find myself wondering how some songs ended up on a playlist to begin with while

I’m in a Japanese frame of mind it seems. That and I’m really attracted to ballads. Makes sense given what’s happened to open December for me come to think of it. Anyways, Day 4 of the Christmas Countdown this year belongs to Kodera Kenta who is very active on YouTube. He uploads lots of covers as well as his own

It’s only fitting that the follow-up to e-girls “Mr. Snowman” is Flower’s 8th single 「秋風のアンサー」. I believe that Flower is part of e-girls. The whole Exile family gets rather confusing actually. The song title talks about autumn wind and the MV is very fall-like with its colors and tones and scenes, but for some reason I just find this fitting.

e-girls! Now this is a great jpop group, which shouldn’t be surprising since they are a part of LDH and in the giant Exile Tribe family. I ignored this song when it came out as I really wasn’t in the Christmas spirit, etc. I’m still not. That doesn’t stop this song from being good, though. Check out their song “Mr.

Song of the week didn’t sound quite right today. The songs I’ve selected to feature just really reflect my current moods and what’s going on in life. That’s one of the great things about music, isn’t? First up is Korean band Toxic’s official debut song “Lonely”. The holiday season is encroaching on us already. This week is Thanksgiving in the

Winter is already rearing it’s cold and snowy head. Nothing has managed to stick so far, but still, at times, encroaching winter can be a bit depressing (although winter can be dazzling and beautiful, it is a giant pain in the year with ice and snow removal, etc.). So…let us recall the beauty of spring and remember it’s only…about four
Read moreSong of the Week – 20 September 2014
It’s a gloomy and cold start to the week. So how about a beautiful Japanese ballad? Dream, if I’m recalling correctly, is a unit of the larger group E-girls. The song is ダーリン [Darling] from the mini album of the same name. I really do love Dream! E-girls as a whole aren’t bad, but they do more dance songs and
