I have become a big fan of this band since I started listening to them just a month (or two) ago. On the first listen, I didn’t really like Shukumei that much – and it was probably because I didn’t really listen 100% to it, nor try to understand what its lyrics meant. Now, this […]
I love this song. I’ve been listening to it non-stop since YouTube algorithm brought me to it yesterday. I immediately searched for the band and downloaded all of their songs from Spotify! For today, I wanted to specifically share this specific song, because it’s what introduced me to this great band. If it’s your first […]
Here’s my second Japanese romaji lyrics, another request from the brother. I am liking the Lucky Tapes and I am actually regretting not booking the first day of Fuji Rock 2019 because they’ll be playing on that day! 🙁 LUCKY TAPES – MOOD Koko made wa umaku ikite kitanda shi Kane mo meiyou mo nai […]
My brother asked me to come up with the romaji lyrics to this so I’m posting it here so that my hard work doesn’t also go to waste! Check out the song, it’s very cool and chill, too! This was a good way to review and also learn new words. I might do this more […]
One of my favorite Jpop groups is a pop rock/hip-hop vocal group called GReeeeN. I first heard of them from the Jdrama “Rookies” where they sang the soundtrack entitled Kiseki (translates to Miracle in English). If you look up the English translation of the lyrics, you will find that the song is perfect for a wedding vow. I […]
Back in high school (e.g., almost 20 years ago), it was very difficult to get access to Japanese music in the Philippines. I learned how to download music through mIRC and waited an entire night to download just 1 to 2 songs. But I was patient. In a year, I got to know JPOP artists […]
Utada’s back with 2 new digital singles – 真夏の通り雨 Manatsu no Tooriame (Midsummer Showers) and 花束を君に Hanataba wo Kimi ni (A Bouquet For You). Manatsu is the theme song to NTV’s news show, “NEWS ZERO”, while Hanataba is another theme song for a drama called “Toto Nee-chan”. If you don’t have it yet, you can […]
Perfume’s new album – Cosmic Explorer is finally out! This took more than two years to make, and personally, it does not disappoint! I liked all of the new songs, although the for the remixes, there were some songs where I preferred the original. I have been listening to the album on repeat for the […]
The other day, I tried creating a YouTube playlist of some of the more relaxing Japanese (JPOP) songs that I’ve been listening to since college – and found it quite helpful in making me sleep. The past couple of months, I’ve had a hard time sleeping at night because my brain seems to be too active. […]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV7gYf2RkrQ] The song that really got me hooked to JPOP back in 2002. Yes, I’ve heard Saigo no Iiwake and Sweet Soul Revue when I was 7 years old, but that was passing. I listened to a lot of Anime music, but that was because they were part of the anime experience. The first time […]
