New(ish) J-pop and K-pop Videos

Since I'm a fan of both J-pop and K-pop, I thought today I would do a post featuring new videos from both genres. It's been a while since I did that, not since my 2019 round-up, I think! I've called it New(ish) because (like last year's New(ish) J-pop Videos), some are older. Includes double features for a couple of artists! :)


RIRI- Wheel of Fortune

First up is Wheel of Fortune, by Japanese singer RIRI. The title refers to the Wheel of Fortune tarot card and how it represents a turning point, and having the power to create your own destiny. RIRI was inspired to write the song after the recent changes in the world, which have led her to believe that we are in control of our destiny.

Wheel of Fortune is an English language song (there is also a Japanese version) and was released in May.



Watch the video for the Japanese version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXe4gd7vCDw


RIRI- Luv DejaVu

And here is RIRI's latest single Luv Dejavu which came out on 21st July. It's a summer song about staying positive despite still being under lockdown restrictions. Check out the info box on YouTube to read more about the song. :)

This is the English version but there is also a Japanese version.

BM- 13IVI

This is 13IVI by American rapper BM (real name Matthew Kim) from the Korean co-ed group KARD. It's from his digital triple single THE FIRST STATEMENT, which came out on July. THE FIRST STATEMENT is BM's first solo release, and also contains the songs Body Movin' and BROKEN ME.

The video was uploaded on 2nd July.

CAMO- Wifey

Next up is Wifey by South Korean rapper CAMO. Her real name is Park Chae-ryeong (or Chae-ryeong Park in Westen terms) and she is originally from Hong Kong, according to Kprofile. She debuted in March 2020 with the EP Ice and released her latest EP, Fragile this May.

Wifey came out in January.




CAMO- Fragile

And here is the music video for the single Fragile, a chilled R'n'B/rap song. It was released in June.

MONSTA X- KISS OR DEATH (preview)

Finally, this is KISS OR DEATH, the latest single by Korean boyband MONSTA X. This video is a preview that's only 1.38 minutes long. The full video is only on the Korean app/platform UNIVERSE, which is a shame. :( I believe the app is not available in the UK as yet, or quite a few other countries either. 

Reminds me of how the Japanese record company AVEX (whose artists include Koda Kumi and formerly Namie Amuro) often doesn't release full music videos online, to encourage you to buy the CD/DVDs. But in that case, you can usually buy them on YESASIA.

The preview was released on 26th July.

 


Update 16/12/21: The full version of KISS OR DEATH has just been uploaded on YouTube! Here it is:

 




Hope you liked the post! I plan to feature more Asian music soon, probably K-pop first. :) What are your current favourite J-pop and K-pop songs?

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
