Why am I so late in seeing this!?!? I'm glad I finally caught it while going back through the thread lol, I love it! I love upbeat hip-hop too.
Really liking that new Taka Perry track with JP THE WAVY too.
I saw akai ko-en is finally releasing a new single. Super excited for it!
lol
I recently discovered his stuff, he has some pretty good songs. Reminds me of early Kenshi Yonezu. He is also part of sajou no hana, which I also really like.
His stuff wasn't even streaming in Japan until today so that's a megaton.
He got an Apple Music radio show as well. He also launched an Instagram account ( @iamgenhoshino) that features English translations of his posts so I'm guessing we'll see more content for international fans! Great news.
EDIT : he's just announced a show on November 25 in New York, with Mark Ronson.

So good. I think PULSATE and this might be might favorite indigo la End "era".
Saw Ame no Parade at Tsutaya O-East with fellow J-pop lover PK Strawstorm.
What a great show that was, I'm actually impressed by their energy. I thought they were mostly doing chill shows but they've got some very interesting live arrangements to make people dance a little bit. Still got their fair share of moody songs and all of course, but it's way more fun than I expected. Dos Monos came out for a remix of Hometown that was lit. So happy I got to see them, they're my fav rap act right now.
So yeah, it was awesome.

Has someone posted about Ironbunny before? I'm sure they're gonna blow up soon. They're very anison, and considering Showtaro Morikubo is in the group, that's not a surprise. Also, highly inspired by 80s metal. God, I love his tokusatsu outfit. Funny that there's a handsome, famous dude under the mask with a fake name. It was a good idea for him to add three ladies with good voices to his act, because I don't think he'd become to popular doing solo, like he started out.
Look at their promo images!
Edit: Their mini-album just dropped on the 28th.

That's stalking www By the way, I always wondered this but the artist that are very famous tend to wear mask outside?
I only saw the guitarist from The Birthday doing this but he was entering the live house when people were waiting.
bad. how tall is that one girl though?
did Meirin straight up get yakuza to appear in the video?
Be sure to check out Daichi Yamamoto's album that just dropped
This is brilliant. The concept for the song is interesting, too. I love weg so much. He was the one who got me into experimental music after having to watch Kuuki Ningyou for a uni class and loving the soundtrack.
Man his sophmore album is shaping up to be really good. I've been impressed, especially after his reebok song collab with Sirup.
Woah, 1 year after the audition we finally get to see the remaining new Sakamichi members. Guess we'll get to know their groups pretty soon.
I wonder if they'll be treated as entirely new gens, or as Nogizaka 4th gen/Keyakizaka 2nd gen/Hinatazaka 3rd gen like the other new members. I assume it's gonna be the former?

they recently finished recording a new full album, should hopefully be out by the end of the year! Before Chibagin leaves the band in January to be a family man ;_;
this track was released digitally a few weeks ago.
Keyakizaka46 are switching to a traditional senbatsu format for their 9th single (to be released this winter).
The 17 members have been revealed, with some surprises.
3rd Lane
Habu - Watanabe Rika - Inoue - Harada - Seki - Uemura - Fujiyoshi
2nd Lane
Takemoto - Sugai - Morita - Moirya - Satou
Front
Kobayashi - Matsuda - Hirate - Tamura - Watanabe Risa
7 second gen members, Suzumoto and Koike not making it... My 2nd gen oshi Matsuda right next to Hirate... Didn't expect that.
Excited to see where they go from now, even the members were implying that the senbatsu system was something the group needed.

This is good news.
I wasn't too excited when they announced that :(
Thanks for posting Ray. That's good stuff. I don't see anywhere on their site to buy their music, though?
This is really good, wow. Honestly I've been so out of the loop on the 46 and 48 groups for the last few years. Who are the big groups now? What have been the biggest singles from them?
Random, but someone posted MY FIRST STORY earlier in the thread and I listened to more of their stuff today, I really like them.

It's all about the three "Sakamichi" groups now : Nogizaka46, Keyakizaka46 and Hinatazaka46.
Hinatazaka46 are the newest group that debuted this year, though they were originally a division of Keyakizaka46 since 2016, known as Hiragana Keyakizaka46.
As for the biggest singles hmmm it's a bit hard to tell since every single (generally) outsells the previous one lol
For Nogizaka I guess I'd say Influencer, Synchronicity, Kaerimichi Wa Toomawari Shitaku Naru.
Keyakizaka -> Fukyouwaon, Kuroi Hitsuji, Garasu wo Ware, Ambivalent.
Hinatakazaka only have 2 singles out : Kyun and Doremisorashido (though you can check the album they've released as Hiragana Keyakizaka)
Here are some of my recs. Kuroi Hitsuji might be the most incredible idol MV I've ever seen tbh, I remember being in tears the first time I saw it lol

Youtube recommended me kobasolo / harutya (コバソロ / 春茶) so I thought I'd share.
Together they have almost 3 million subs. It amazes me how far you can go by just covering songs. I'm a fan of Chatmonchy so this is right up my alley. Only Japan can produce melancholic but still upbeat light rock.

I loved that Shishamo song posted above. So happy and perfect for the end of Summer. Also really liked that Miyuna song you just posted Kurita.
Checked out more 46 songs, I was into Nogi like 3-4 years ago but I like a lot of their newer stuff too, "Influencer" and "Against" are my favorites so far but I have a lot to listen to as well. Loved "Kuroi Hitsuji" and "Gasaru Wo Ware!" I also loved what I heard from Hinatazaka46 too.
So much good music.

One of the GOAT Keyakizaka songs
I saw them live at Rock in Japan Festival this summer, they opened the 2nd day and their set was one of the hypest things I've ever witnessed.
