J-pop Videos

It's been a while since I've done an all J-pop post, so today I'm featuring some Japanese music! :)

 

Note: Avex videos are blocked from being shown on third party applications. If you click on the videos, you can watch them fine on YouTube. :)


FlowBack- Dramatic Lover

First up is Dramatic Lover by FlowBack. They are a Japanese boyband formed in 2013/2014. They first auditioned in 2013 and took part in the final audition in 2014. The group consists of 5 members- leader Tatsuki, Masaharu, rapper Judai, Reiji and Mark. 

FlowBack debuted in September 2016 with the single Come a Long Way and their first studio album Versus in May 2017. They have released several more singles including Heartbreak, Booyah!, Always, Fireworks and without you; a demo CD and the EP Shake the World. Their latest album is Do Not Hesitate (2019).

Dramatic Lover was released in May 2020. It's from Connect, their 2020 collaboration album with fellow boyband Da-ICE. (Or I think so according to Google Translate!) This is the official lyric video. :)

lol- endless journey

Next is endless journey by mixed gender group lol. (Both the group name and song name are written in lower case). It came out in February. 

I think the song is about going on a journey towards your dream.

FAKY- little more

This is little more (all lower case) by girl group FAKY. It was released back in November. I think that this song is also about moving forward in life and believing in yourself.

WARPs Up- Pleasure

Finally, here is Pleasure, the latest single by WARPs UP. They were just known as WARPs when I first came across them, but are now called WARPs Up. Also, SHO RI left in November, so they are now a 4-member group.

Pleasure came out in April and is the theme song to the latest season of the TV anime Fruits Basket. The song is the group's first ballad, and the message is that we all have the power to create our own future, no matter our circumstances (which actually reminds me of the Law of Attraction!). I also just realised that I've shared three songs with similar messages about moving forward and going for your dreams!

WARPS UP  are also releasing a mini album containing songs previously released only in China, and Pleasure will be on it.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
