So, I won’t lie. Sometimes I really don’t like what kpop artists do in Japan. To me it seems that their Japanese singing skills are sometimes very awkward. For Korean artists who are more popular in Japan than Korea and have more experience singing in Japanese, that isn’t necessarily the case. I also think that some of the problems lie

Finally! Tokuma Japan has released the full PV of D=OUT’s “Music Nippon.” While it is pretty standard fare for a visual kei PV, I still really enjoyed it. The fan bit at the end was really cute and Kouki in a … was it a yukata? … totally LOVED it! Although, I am not sold on him and black hair.

Aoi from ayabie and Ryohei from Megamasso are collaborating again! I liked their last single Monochrome. The song for this teaser sounds pretty good. It is odd to see Ryohei with short hair for once. His hair is usually long. It does make him look more mannish, but let’s face it, Ryohei still looks very feminine. I am not sure

Rather, I am attracted to music that interests me, plain and simple, however I come by it and whatever genre it may be. Generally, I prefer music that

Got to love getting free music legally, ne? It’s not a big surprise, but I love Misaruka. They have an interesting sound and their lyrics are quite nice. They are providing another new single download of a new song. Yay! This reminds me that I do need to update their artist profile with their new releases. I give big props

It’s coming! Anyone else looking forward to it? Tokuma Japan just released this TV spot on YouTube today. I get excited whenever LM.C, Alice Nine, and the GazettE especially come out with new albums. The only thing that could make this upcoming release better would be if you could get the album cheaper and easier than importing it from Japan.

This is a Japanese band signed to A-Sketch and managed by AMUSE. I generally like the artists signed under A-Sketch as well as the artists [actors/singers] managed by AMUSE and Hello Sleepwalkers is no exception. They debuted in October of this year with the single “Sentimental Syndrome.” The band is a little different in that they have three guitarists versus

Alice Nine is coming back in 2012 with a new album! The news was announced just this past weekend. How excited am I? The new album will contain their singles since their last album Gemini was released, i.e. 「Blue Flame」, 「Heart of Gold」, and 「Niji no Yuki」. The title of the new album is 9 and is slated for a

Ok, well, not exactly a Christmas song, but I never claimed to be doing straight up holiday music, did I? SPIV STATES has released a winter single “WGMM Noise.” I like Jun and miss Iori [wishing him a speedy recovery]. Only 4 more days until Christmas. Excited yet? Any big plans? This song doesn’t have an official PV, just various
