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 […]
May has been a good month for KPOP! There were a lot of comebacks from well known groups/artists so I thought of listing down my top 5 favorite releases of the month (excluding Unnies – Right). 5. iKON – Bling Bling iKON is finally back, with a new image and even new names for some […]
I have been watching a Korean reality show called Sister’s Slam Dunk (S2) and last week, the Unnies were finally able to release their debut single entitled “Right”. After seeing them struggle through practice and recording, I am really proud that they made it this far. The show is about to end soon since they have already […]
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 […]
“All for You” is known to many international KPOP fans as the soundtrack of Reply 1997, what was then a successful breakthrough drama concept. The drama was so successful that it was followed by 2 more installments (Reply 1994 and Reply 1988). For most of us KPOP fans outside Korea, we are used to this version […]

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 […]
This is probably the saddest day for Blackjacks around the world. It’s all over the Internet today that Minzy is no longer renewing her contract with YG and will be leaving 2NE1 permanently. I’m sure Minzy has her reasons, but it will just never ever be the same without her. With this, here are five […]
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. […]
Four days left till the relase of Blue Neighborhood – in the mean time, enjoy the latest lyric video from Troye. This is one of his new songs from the new album – Youth! I personally love this song, it’s very catchy and overall just a feel good, chill song! I discovered Troye from a […]
