New J-pop and K-pop Releases

Sorry the post is late this week; I planned to post yesterday but wasn't feeling well. :)

Today I thought I'd share some new J-pop and K-pop songs/videos.

First up one of my favourite Japanese singers Namie Amuro has a new single called Hero. It's for the Olympics, it's the theme song for the Japanese broadcast. Seems weird that it's 4 years since the last Olympics in London!

This is a nice song. :) The video is the short version (just over 2 minutes).

Update 16/3/19: The original video was gone so I replaced it with a new version.


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



                                

Namie also has another video for the song Show Me What You've Got (from the Hero single). Unfortunately they won't show it on her YouTube channel; they sometimes make them unavailable for certain countries. They do have it on DailyMotion though, so if you can't view it in your country check it out here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4m9ycu_amuro-namie-show-me-what-you-ve-got_music



And then Korean American rapper/singer Jay Park has a new single with Korean rapper Ugly Duck called Ain't No Party Like an AOMG Party. (AOMG is their record label). It's on Jay's EP $cene $tealers (Scene Stealers) which is out now.






He also has a new song called I Don't Disappoint which is from his upcoming Everything You Wanted EP. This is just an audio and is my favourite out of the two songs.

Both songs are explicit. :)




Do you like the new songs?


P.S. I'm planning to do a post on C-pop (Chinese pop) because I haven't posted much about that so far. So look out for that. :)

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...
