Don't know much of the group NATURE yet, but I just found out they did a cover of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now. Thought it was pretty good imo.




Edit:

Plus, fromis_9's cover of Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You.

SGO48 Debut after only 30 days training.
They have a lot of guitarists, pianists, drummers....etc so the talent pool is deep.
The word among my Vietnamese brothers at work is that they have big support in US and Vietnam where I think honda is sponsoring them.

Might have posted this a long while ago but Rei Kuromiya who is acting in this video by Seiko Oomori has an amazing career.

She just turned 18 and she's already got a decade in the business.



Seiko Oomori wrote this for ladybaby when Rei with in the group. Also probably already posted but who doesn't like cute girls cuddling.

best releases for me are...

Sunmi - Heroine

EXID - I Love You


Red Velvet - Bad Boy


Anda - The Open Boat


Not following J-pop anywhere near as much as K-pop, but the best Japanese song I heard was...

Perfume - Let Me Know

it's amazing that yubin, yeeun, and sunmi have all released such great solo songs after wonder girls broke up. talented group, no doubt about it.

and i wasn't ever a huge fan, but after a lot of disappointing comebacks from apink for me, I'm So Sick was definitely a great song, and in my opinion their best since No No No.

and DTNA was probably the best Twice release of the year for me too. Yes or Yes did indeed grow on me though, and i really liked The Best Thing I Ever Did too.

thanks to Produce 48 i can recognize shiroma miru in the NMB48 MV (i assume murase sae is in there too).

Twice-Candy Pop.

man, i forgot all about Candy Pop. that's Twice's best japanese release in my opinion, and was really the first one that didn't feel like an afterthought. how could i forget that crazy MV....

It was like a breath of fresh air to see Apink pull off something so different that time around. The concept and song just ended up working together perfectly.

thanks to Produce 48 i can recognize shiroma miru in the NMB48 MV (i assume murase sae is in there too).

Yup she is. You can spot Sae in around 8 secs of the video.

new from Red Velvet:

Yup she is. You can spot Sae in around 8 secs of the video.

oh yeah, paying more attention to the video now i can see her throughout.

 

[P0NYBOY]

Sae is a goddess.

New song from Apink

Wish the chorus was a little stronger, but overall, it's a good song with an aesthetically pleasing concept.
