They've just announced a new tour, so you can expect some material coming soon.
Aimer releasing two albums on April 10, Sun Dance and Penny Rain. 10 songs each. I've reaaaaally enjoyed Hanabira no March from her single that just got released, this will be the year I finally get into Aimer for real outside of a couple of songs. Looking foward to these.
They've got 32 concerts announced right now, for their 20th anniversary. 1.5 million persons if every show is sold out (and you know it's gonna happen).
Nuts.
Holy shit!!!
That is the best reunion announcement in such a long time.
Been listening to him for over 10 years, and I'm planning to see him live in the next couple months. Definitely a great artist.
Hmmm, interesting formation for Keyakizaka's Kuroi Hitsuji : Ishimori and Saito front row , Suzumoto 3rd lane.
"7" sounds like a city pop jam and I was taken aback that they're doing an acoustic/stipped down version of ミドリ .
I'm not really knowledgeable about that band sorry so I have no idea why. Looks like it was a physical release first in 2018, for what it's worth the digital version isn't out in Japan either yet.
Really looking forward to the new Frederic album, really like this single as well.
I like the song as well, but I kinda wish they made more music videos for their songs that aren't in this style. They've got a lot of more chill, experimental tunes that won't reach the ears of people who just watch their videos.
Absolutely, even just comparing their first single Light to the new one if you gave someone both tracks and they weren't familiar with Frederic you almost couldn't tell the songs were made by the same band.
Gonna be honest, I was legit crying while watching it. Incredible.
I am definitely ready for Hiragana's song tonight to blast me with some happy aura...
I miss going to Japanese concerts. I wish I still lived in Japan :(
Hope I can move back soon...

It was filmed quite nicely. Some cool long shots.

Speaking of Hiragana I'm surprised that Joyful Love isn't on the single, I'm starting to think that it won't be available until a new Hiragana album

Song is used for the live action movie Kingdom. Ancient China + modern pop-rock 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Cool song tho
Taka is also featured on the new KOHH album which got a surprise release today. They have a special event in front of Shibuya 109 where you can watch their collab music video in VR.

I'm still legit shook by Kuroi Hitsuji's music video. I had it in the corner of my mind the whole day but I'm like too scared to watch it again. What the heck.
Crying Hirate is just haunting me.
I also wonder why they didn't upload it on Youtube, just on their website.

Holy crap this MV... Mii-chan holding her wrist in a bathtub crying sends shivers down my spine. She has seemed quite depressed lately judging from her variety appearances (her talk with the mama-sans during the adult location shoot) and blog posts. Hope she gets better soon.
I really like to see her in the front row. She and Hirate are such mysterious idols, I love them.
Now that you mention the bathtub scene, they might avoid Youtube so that the the video doesn't get an age restriction or something since the whole video is pretty dark?
Could be totally wrong and they might just want traffic on their website or something, but hey.
It's possible...
And I know alot of people seemed to be concerned about Neru lately too.
Sure hope they keep an eye on everyone to make sure they're doing fine...
Hey, first time posting here.
Not sure if it's been posted before, but I think the best channel I've found for Japanese music at the moment is the Spincoaster / スピンコースター channel with its Music Bar Session videos. It's got Tiny Desk Concert vibes and almost everything is great. It's got a real mix of artists from different genres, even dipping out of Japan with a Liverpudlian band and a Korean duo playing in two of the latest videos (obviously not Japanese music, but just showing the variety they bring in).
Standouts for me are:
Ohira Mizuki - Mienai Ito ～Never Be The Lonely One～
Anly - DREAM ON
CICADA - screen
Kan Sano - DT pt.2

Visual and covers for Kuroi Hitsuji. I wonder what the KEYAKI HOUSE bonus footage is. If it's a parody of Terrace House it could be hilarious.

Costume is kinda wack but but the sleeping faces are great. Again, Keyaki juxtaposes perfectly the members' vulnerability and their resilience. Sleep has been used as a symbol for escaping reality in many Japanese media I've seen, this is good design for this song.
Having rewatched the MV many times I really think 'Black Sheep' is a masterpiece in MV directing.
Kinda feel for Techi always portraying the image of being alienated by others though...
This is pretty neat, thanks! Has some of the same vibe as videos I remember from the Sofar Tokyo series, but with better production values.
They usually have more dynamic/upbeat songs (I kinda feel like they're the spiritual successors to "fun and playful" hip hop acts like Rip Slyme) so it's pretty surprising to hear a track like this
Kinda wild that Youtube automatically uploads official tracks just like that now
