Great way to start the new year with some announcements : new Hitorie album on February 27, and new Sumika album on March 13. Excited to listen to both. Sumika's latest single might be my fav song by the band.

Keyakizaka's Glass wo Ware at Kouhaku was great. Yuipon looked like a boss as the center during the whole thing.

Yuipon looked amazing. Wonder if she actually did shout "HIRATE" or not when she was in the middle of the of the circle.
Risa taking the lead for the CDTV appearance was great as well!
Quite enjoying the rotation system. Getting to see slightly different versions of the song each time...
Couldn't really hear what she was yelling tbh, but it was still great. I like that the backdancers were here too.
Risa's performance was cool too, I think everyone's stock went up thanks to the rotation. Who knows what they're going to do for the 8th single. Hirate is my favorite member but I'm sure it'd be beneficial to everyone to shake things up.
And apparently Koike took on different positions on each of the previous performances with different centers... that can't be easy... whoo.

I'm back from my ban. I got a name change. >.>
I changed the banner. Let me know what you think.
A lot of really great releases out of Japan in 2018 - too many for me to listen to/rank, so I'll probably spend the next month catching up.
I'd say Haru Nemuri's record is probably in my top 3 albums of the year, maybe new MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS, too.
I also really liked all of DIMLIM and Kizu's output this year for some visual kei/metal flavor -- they just feel a cut above the rest when it comes to stuff coming outta that scene.

Bump of Chicken are doing the theme song for the Japanese remake of The Good Wife, which means they now have 9 new songs since their last album. If we don't finally get a new one in 2019 I'll be veeeeery pissed.
Looking at you too, Sakanaction.
Their latest song for the Lotte short animated movie was also great.

I am not going to lie. I have listened to this song on repeat a little too much. I hope it gets an official release.
Love Crystal Lake and that's an awesome track. Psyched for their new album.
This is absurd and I love everything about it.
（；¬＿¬)
I just got into HAMIDASYSTEM and TTT was looking pretty interesting as well. What a great start for the year...
Kanji vs Hiragana March Single Showdown!

Anyone else listening to the new Spangle call Lilli line? Giving my first listen, and it's good so far.
Also, new Maron!

I'm finding it a bit underwhelming tbh. It'll probably be a grower.
Yeah, I'm loving it. Need to give it a couple more listens to really soak it in, but I`m really enjoying red, so as not to and sai (aside from the last 3 that I already knew I liked due to the MVs)
is this why they made an Orchestra clone? is GP going to be bad now?
is 2019 the year of me giving up on caring about Wack groups? it's been a "good" 8 years I guess

I was listening to the Idol Is Dead LP while in the launderette earlier, still sounds fuckin great where did it all go wrong grumble grumble old man yells at Kenta
Got the physical copy preordered.
I'm surprised they went with this (great) song as the lead track for their major debut, since it's a fairly old unreleased tune (pretty sure it was when they were still called Srv Vinci).
No doubt they'll be the breakout act of 2019, they've already got a drama theme song for a show that starts next week.
EDIT : yeah, Slumberland is a reworked version of Srv Vinci's PPL (so not unreleased)

I think they have less mainstream appeal, they might be closer to Suchmos (and Yonezu Kenshi's success is just on another dimension haha, doubt anyone will equal him for a while)

Band-Maid have confirmed another world tour for 2019. Hoping they get a slightly bigger venue for London this year as I'm sure they could fill it.
My favorite rap album of 2018 was by WILYWNKA
Kid Fresino is also a breath a fresh air in the sea of trap bullshit
And they announced their 3rd album is coming out March 22nd. Super excited, I've been liking the singles released so far and Dance Founder was great.
Kind of a bummer to hear no new members yet. They also need to get on Keyakake / Hiragana Oshi stat.!!
