I also want to feature new track Faust as one of my two b-sides of this week. I already featured Queen Bee’s Mephisto as my b-side of the week, and now it has a music video! I love it, though the audio distortions in the video don’t work for me. Queen Bee – Mephisto / Faust (b-side of the week!) It’s got that anthemic, apocalyptic metal-dance sound down. I loved it, and it’s one of my singles of the week!įans of Dreamcatcher should love this one. Its breezy, synth-kissed groove feels perfect for summer. This is my favorite I Don’t Like Mondays song in a while. This is giving me early-2000’s hip-hop and I love the swagger.Ītarashii Gakko – Seishun Wo Kirisaku HadoĪtarashii Gakko are really making waves this year and their take-no-BS attitude is very much appreciated.Ī nice, upbeat rocker with great energy and a timeless sound. This will mostly apply to Johnny’s groups, who still limit the majority of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited versions.Ģ023 Index: Feb 1 – Feb 18 // Feb 19 – 25 // Feb 26 – Mar 3 // Mar 4 – Mar 10 // Mar 11 – Mar 18 // Mar 19 – Mar 25 // Mar 26 – Apr 1 // Apr 2 – Apr 8 // Apr 9 – Apr 15 // Apr 16 – Apr 22 // Apr 23 – Apr 29 // Apr 30 – May 6 // May 7 – May 13

*And just like I do with my reviews, I’ll wait until full versions of songs are available before posting them in this round-up. With that in mind, here’s where you come in: I’m one person with one set of musical preferences, so please embed any other new J-pop tracks you’ve enjoyed in the comments so we can get a fuller spectrum each week. Some of these may have been covered on the blog already, but my hope is that this will become a one-stop shop for anyone interested in what’s new in J-pop. In connection with my desire to fully keep up with the J-pop industry, I’m planning to do a weekly round-up of any new releases that have caught my ear.
