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! :)

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.

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...
