First, I have to say that I am sorry for not many updates. I do not know if I will continue to update frequently, but maybe so often~
I have noticed that been listening to 10000x more Japanese music lately than normal. I guess during the korean music slump I have found some really good Japanese music that I like. I have always been fascinated by the Japanese language, as it just SOUNDS so good. Having the poetic japanese language in my music just increases my enjoyment. It is not that I have abandoned Korean music -not at all-, but I have increased my breadth of enjoyable music to my ears. Everyone likes to find new music that they like.
Some of the artists that I have found have good beats (they use more beats and instruments than the -usual- Korean r&b beats).
BoA – I have been listening to her for a long time, but more so recently. Her Japanese albums are so good. In her recent (leaked – I could not help myself T.T) album, my favorite new song is ‘ギャップにやられた!’ {Victim of Fear!}.
Jyongri – a zainichi [koreans who live in japan] or least part zainichi. She has Korean heritage, but she speaks Japanese and English. Her style is kind of like upbeat pop. I recommend ‘Kissing Me’ or ‘Romeo & Juliet’.
NEWS – Their songs are upbeat, but I can only take so much. I like a few select songs, but those select songs are really good. I recommend ‘Taiyou no Namida’ or ‘Sayaendou’.
Tohoshinki – What else should I say? I have been introduced to them, and glad I have been. I cannot wait for Junsu’s single ‘Rainy Night’.
