Ha ha! This might have something to do with it, also:

It's not the sound that's getting compared to HP. It's the lame dancing and single covers. The word is ダサカッコイイ--so lame it's cool.

A lot of Japanese H!P fans were starting to show up to Da Pump lives and it was all over twitter. It is an addicting little song. Hopefully it shows up on Apple Music next week. They are a lot of their music on Apple Music so I'm sure it will.

 

Speaking of Streaming services. Sheena Ringo released her entire discography on streaming. Just found that out today. Guess what I'll be indulging in tomorrow at work!? :DDD

I like how much of a throwback that Da Pump song is. It makes me glad an old boy group like them is getting some revival. Especially a non Johnny's one.

I will forever hold a grudge against Johnny's. FYI Da Pump isn't allowed on Music Station because Johnny's sees them as a threat.

You're welcome

There’s a group I haven’t thought about in a long time.

[JPope]

They do a song on Airi Suzuki's album. It's basically a Buono! song

Chiemi Manabe - Haato ga pi pi

It's insanely cute and catchy.

The part in the beginning sounds soooo familiar, but I just can't quite put my finger on it why...
I'm so sure I've heard a very (but not exactly) similar tune in a Japanese show or something before.

[DonJuan]

It reminds me of Moritaka Chisato's 17 sai. But generally some chiptune like opening is always cute.

That is one hell of a funky song.

The great game Yakuza 0 also has some really good power-pop songs:

I made a "highlights" version of my YouTube playlist to help you keep up with just the top artists. :)

NECRONOMIDOL's new album VOIDHYMN is out now

 

Get it, in one form or another. It's good.

[WonderBuono]

Wasuta collaborated with a teenage Spanish duo called Adexe & Nau and this might be the most interesting thing I've seen come from J-pop this year:

except the song was Spanish first so I guess it doesn't count as J-pop but whatever

 

Also I made a new Spotify playlist

[WonderBuono]

I was listening to this song thinking it sounded like a Hello! Project song, then I realized it's Tsunku produced!

Pretty funny considering Last Idol is usually produced by Akimoto Yasushi. They got the best of both worlds!

Wasei JJ Chikada has a new Serial Experiments Lain "Cyberia" album out. You can order a copy easily (3000 JPY shipped to US) and he'll even sign it for you if you ask him after ordering.

 

It's Serial Experiments Lain 20th anniversary this year, can't believe it's been this long already.

[Ap2000]

Wasei is a cool DJ in general with some nice mixes.

I thought there was a Stardust thread?

Anyway, with Chiyu's graduation Team Shachihoko has rebranded themselves as TEAM SHACHI.  I kind of love their new angry whale logo.

If you like Japanese City Pop (I think I'm the only one on this board?), this is an interesting documentary:

This took WAY TOO LONG and I have no idea if I will do it again next year but I made a video of the top 100 Asian girl groups/female soloists/mixed groups and it was supposed to be uploaded three weeks ago BUT IT'S FINE

 

Anyway enjoy. :)
