In reference to my want to completely sustain with the J-pop trade, I’m planning on doing a weekly round-up of any new releases which have caught my ear. A few of these might have been lined on the weblog already, however my hope is that this may develop into a one-stop store for anybody fascinated by what’s new in J-pop.
With that in thoughts, right here’s the place you are available: I’m one individual with one set of musical preferences, so please embed some other new J-pop tracks you’ve loved within the feedback so we are able to get a fuller spectrum every week.
*And similar to I do with my critiques, I’ll wait till full variations of songs can be found earlier than posting them on this round-up. It will largely apply to Starto teams, who nonetheless restrict nearly all of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited variations.
