This past month saw rock songs topping my list of favorites, thus the title of this post. I’m getting sick of saying Asian music recommendations every month, so trying something a lil different as with March Music Madness last month. I won’t be covering every song on this playlist, just my top faves that I absolutely must mention. Other songs

I had no idea Thai rock band Instinct was collaborating with Japanese band WEAVER again. How exciting! I really enjoyed their first collaboration “Light” and can’t wait for the full release of this song…which is either May 7 or July 5. I never know which way dates are being used. So 07.05.2014 could be July if the month comes first

It’s not quite the most recent news as it was uploaded to their official YouTube channel on April 17th, but I haven’t been very good at keeping up with new releases as I wish I was able to. 4 member visual kei group landz. is releasing their 4th single on May 21st entitled 「Alice in Wonder landz.」 It’s funny as

I was thinking long and hard about which song to choose for this week’s Song of the Week. It is a toss up between two very different songs. The first is a rock ballad by visual kei group Alice Nine “SHADOWPLAY” and the second is “Find the way” by Bii which combines English and Mandarin along with a Korean rap.

Japan is on the other side of the world. That means it’s like half a day ahead of where I live in the States, which means Matsushita’s “Slow Dancin’” was already available there yesterday since yesterday was today…sort of…because of that I did check last night to see if it was in the US stores yet, but it wasn’t. I

On his official YouTube channel, Matsushita Yuya uploaded a video announcing the release of a new single on April 25th. There will be two tracks “Slow Dancin’” and “She’s A Liar Remix.” I already bought his single “She’s A Liar” which was released in February…but I could easily be persuaded to buy the remix version even though I am definitely

I was seriously thinking of featuring the song “Everything Changes” from Bii & co.’s Imperative 2 album, but it almost seemed superfluous what with them being my top song pick of March in my music recommendations yesterday. Then the first song I heard today (that was from the Imperative 2 mini album) was a song from Matsushita Yuya’s digital album #Musicoverdose.

I have actually been listening to older songs or just obsessing over albums from the beginning of the year or later (*ahem* totally had Activity’s EP on repeat DAILY). Plus, spring is slowly making its way in and I’ve been having less time to explore or discover new music thanks to work and life and maybe even a lack of

I may or may not have made it obvious because I don’t post a whole lot about this particular artist, but I’m a HUGE fan even though his is a genre that I’m not completely enamored with. I remember when he played some anime con in the US one year and was interviewed by Tokyohive…or some such website and he

Um…how did I forget that I managed to snag like the SOLE album available for ViViD in the US? Oh, sure, you can buy their imported CDs which…yeah…will break your wallet, but I do try to buy digital music now for the fact that I’ve kind of run out of room for physical books, CDs and even DVDs. I get
