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.

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

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 ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
