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 D...

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) 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 Pushpha 2...
