J.A.M. - Jazzy Joint Ft. Jose James

To all jazz fans out there: Is this piece amazing or what?

MISIA - Never Gonna Cry (DISCOTHEQUE ASIA Live Version)

Another amazing MISIA clip, Never Gonna Cry.....such a timeless classic... <3

MISIA - Sukoshi Tsuzu, Taisetsu ni (2009 Arena tour version)

Here is an amazing video of MISIA performing her newest track, Sukoshi Tsuzu, Taisetsu ni....during her 2009 Discotheque tour. She sounds a bit exhausted and scorched in this performance...but since this was the last song performed on the tour it is understandable....it shows how much she belted out during all the songs she performed previously <3

Shiina Ringo - Shun

Extremely excited about her new album coming up on the 24th. This will be her first original album under her own name since KSK; Heisei Fuuzoku wasn't really totally an original album to be honest. Anyways there is much speculation as to what the new album will sound like. However, judging from her latest PV "Shun," it may well be a bit more mellow than her rockier albums.

The song itself is mellow and beautiful, especially the ending with the piano lines.

Onitsuka Chihiro - X

Wow I totally need to get back to this >_<

Onitsuka Chihiro's new single after her rumoured temporary recovery from her illnesses, it titled "X/Last Melody." X is quite a rocky track which is rare for Onitsuka. The PV is quite engaging, especially the dance moves....however she looks horribly skinny and worn out....wondering if she is still struggling with her health. Hope a full recovery Oni-san

Mr. Children - ESORA

Oh my goodness

I have not updated this for so long >_<

First of all I would like to say Happy New Year and wish 2009 will be a peaceful and healthy year for everyone!

Let's start off the year with a cheerful song from Mr. Children (featured on their newest album SUPERMARKET FANTASY). I saw the PV for Esora for the first time when I spent my Xmas in Japan last week. I love the colours used in the PV....everything looks so elegant yet down-to-earth at the same time. the song itself is wonderful too. I bought this album because of this song, along with HANABI and GIFT. So here is the Esora PV!!!

PS: The PV is so nice all the booklet images from the album come from this PV:

Hirahara Ayaka - nocturne

After a mediocre single, Hirahara Ayaka has returned with a new song called Nocturne. This song is 100% English (which I feel that I am violating my own rules because this is a jpop blog but what the heck!). Check this song out. It's an amazing ballad!!! <3
