ENJIN – One Snow, One Love
I beloved their single final month. This one’s a festive vacation monitor, which limits its enchantment.
GPP – Convey It Again
What’s up with that dangerous inexperienced display screen and loopy digicam angles? This has a lot potential. I like listening to a lady group sort out a excessive vitality EDM sound. Sadly, a number of the vocals are fairly tough, however I’ll be conserving my eye on them.
Hyeuk – SEISHUNRIDE ON!
Snuper alert! That is ex-Snuper Woosung’s solo undertaking and it’s bought a few of his group’s retro parts. I’m lacking Sweetune’s manufacturing aptitude, however this isn’t dangerous.
I Don’t Like Mondays. – No Unhappy Love Songs
This can be a very good, shimmering mid-tempo pop monitor with nostalgic synth.
IS:SUE – Section
I really feel like they hold relegating their finest songs to b-sides whereas releasing fashionable, unexciting tracks like this as singles.
Keita Tachibana (w-inds.) – Please
A bit of too repetitive to work, however I like the final vibe.
The Rampage – Break It Down
This can be a collaboration with wrestlers, of all issues. It really works in that discipline however the tune is a a lot less-effective model of significantly better Rampage tracks.
Ryo Suzuki – Want (tune of the week!)
This has such good chugging vitality. I’ll at all times take pleasure in an upbeat pop/rock monitor of this type.
TORINNER – Prime Tier
This can be a fictional band from an upcoming Japanese drama about Okay-pop, so it’s carried out in Korean. That’s a bit complicated and doesn’t essentially match on a J-pop round-up, however I’m keen to observe the drama. The tune is simply okay. Fairly bland and generic.
UNIS – mwah…
The outline of this tune says “Japanese model,” however until I’m lacking one thing there’s no different model out there? It ought to most likely keep in Japan, truthfully. I don’t suppose a lot of it.
VAUNDY – Zutto Love Tune
This has such a throwback sound. I just like the verses rather a lot and it’s good to listen to one thing extra upbeat from him.
White Jam – Development Breaker (tune of the week!)
That is fairly an fascinating sound. I’ve at all times wished to get into this group since I’ve beloved the songs they’ve written for different artists. Perhaps that is my cue.
22/7 – Inochi No Tsuzuki
It’s arduous to evaluate this as a tune as a result of most of it’s lined with speaking within the mv. It’s an… fascinating selection?
