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

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.
Watch the music video for blaze, lol's latest single here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppdVyhGGBbA
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.
