It's All About JMusic: COLOR CREATION

Whenever I think about listening to this album I am like, naaahh this wasn't that good but then I listen to it and I love it so much each time. I don't know why I always think this way, maybe because Sakurada Dori will always be more of an actor then a singer to me or maybe a little bit because this cover looks so not like an album cover. However that doesn't matter because the songs on this album are amazing and I love that the style of music is very versatile. You will get everything from a slow songs, to a rock songs, to a song that gives happy summer vibes, to a badass song and more. I can't even name a favorite this time, I love the songs equally.

Super Dragon - 2nd Emotion

This is probably the album I listened to the most this year. After I went to two of their concerts of the Emotions tour back in March, I couldn't stop replaying this album for a long time. The songs on this album are seriously so good. My number one being 'Paya Paya' also because I love the dance but all the others are so damn good too. I even love the remixes and I uselly don't like remixes a lot. If you haven't listend to it, you should do it soon.

AKLO - REGULAR

I was so excited when AKLO announced to finally release a new album this year. I dig his three albums he released before as well as the collaboration album with Jay'ed so much. To be honest it took me a little to fully appreciate this album but I do now and if you like Rap you will love this as well, thought I would always recommend his older work more over this one. It's a great album anyway. My favorites are definitly 'Addicted' and 'WFN'.

INTERSECTION - INTERSECTION

I love these guys music since they released their debut song 'Heart of Gold'. They have the typical boy group sound, with some nice voices and addicting beats. I love singing along to their songs. When this got released I didn't expect to like all the songs on the album but I was so wrong. Each and every song on this got me so bad. All songs have this super addicting part that makes you want to sing along so bad and you will get them stuck in your head many times. Absolutly recommended!

Chanmina - Never Grow Up

If you like her music and style you will most likely love this album too. I especially love 'Call', 'Never Grow Up' and 'Like This'. To be fair I don't love all the songs on this album but most of them are really good so I decided to post it under the albums too.

DEVIL NO ID - Devillmatic

Red Lights by KAZ on Spotify

This album is so different to what I usually listen to. This whole album feels so messy but it works so well as a whole and even though all the songs have their specific sound it doesn't feel like one is sticking out more then the others. I don't know how to explain the music these three girls created. I just now I very much enjoy it! Give it a try if you haven't listend to any of their songs and if you might not like a song try out another one because they are quite different from each other. By the way I do love all the songs on this album.

Besides the new songs my new discovery of this year is "Official Hige Dandizumu". They are an indie rock group and their music is amazing. I bought three of their albums on itunes and so far I do enjoy them a lot. Another group I discoverd is "Novelbright", gosh they are awesome too, they are also an indie rock group. Besides these two I got very much into the group "NORD". I don't like all of their music, some is just too messy for me but I love some of their songs badly, especially the song 'Mirai'. Then I got more into the music of "CUBERS", I don't think the songs are super outstanding but they are really nice listening to and whenever a song of them get's played when I use the shuffle mode, I am very plesantly supprised to see it's on of their songs.

What are your favorites of 2019? Did you discover any groups you didn't knew before?

My favorite JPop songs of 2018 Part 1

Today I want to share my favorite songs of this year. There will be no ranking/order because I love all of these a lot and I am not able to put them in a ranking/order. There have been so many amazing songs being released this year and so many songs I deeply love, therefor this list is going to be pretty long and I will sepperate it into two parts. I hope you listen to the ones you don't know and maybe you will fall in love with them as well.

Let's start of with not just a song but a whole group and that is INTERSECTION. I love all the songs they released this year so freakin' much and I had all their songs on repeat a lot. If you haven't checked them out jet please do so.

The solo song of KAZ is extremly awesome as well and also one of my favorites of this year. Sadly there is no video for it but you can listen to it for free on spotify.

Next up is a girl group I like a lot and with their "Who We Are" they gave me goosebumps. I am talking about Faky, who bearly disappoint with their releases. "Who We Are" has been on repeate on my Ipod for very long. I am not only stunned by their beautiful voices but also about these amazing lyrics that have been translated into dozens of languages by fans. Here it is.

Next up is "Shake Your Body" by ReN. I came across his music this year and by now I am deeply in love with his beautiful voice. While I do like his song "Aurora" too (which was released this year as well), it is "Shake Your Body" that got me press the repeat button the most.

Next up is the most talanted and awesome Rapper ever....... AKLO!! I love his music a lot and I am glad to know he is writing his song on his own. My favorite of his songs this year has been "Under The Cliff feat. JAY'ED". His collaborations are always lit. However there is more that I count to my absolute favorites of this year. One of them being "Super Chingon", gosh damn it it's so freakin' nice listening to him rapping in spanish. Here are all the songs he released this year that I couldn't stop on listening to again and again.

Next up is another Rapper but a female one. Chanmina is an rising star and I hope 2019 will be an awesome year for her. In 2018 she sadly didn't release much. The one new song of her I absolutly love is "Pain is Beauty". It's a beautiful and very emotional song and the video for it was done very well too.

Next up is a taiwanese group releasing music in Japan and Taiwan. They are called noovy. I didn't knew them until this year. However I am not to excited about most of their songs. They do have some nice songs but I honestly prefer their taiwanese music more. However there is one japanese song of them I just can't stop listening to and that's "Singin' For You". Such an addicting, cute and beautiful song!!!!

Next is Mukai Taichi, who already got his place in my heart with releasing so many good songs and his unique voice that get's me melting. I love his music style a lot and 2018 was a great year for him. He released an mini album, as well as a full-lenght album and a few digital singles. Here are my personal favorites of his 2018 releases.

Malibu on Spotify

Furusato on Spotify

Agony on Spotify

When Color Creation released Canvas, I once again fell in love with their stunning voices. It's my favorite song of them so far. The solo parts of Rioske still gets my heart flutter, whenever I listen to the song.

Another song I had on repeat countless times is "Yo Quiero Vivir" by WASUTA x Adexe y Nau. This song is extremly addicting!

As for the next group, I can't believe that they are still so underrated. I am talking about Doberman Infinity who deserve so much attention, especially outside of Japan. Their music is very good, the old and the new stuff. When it comes to 2018 I love their Off Road album and the singles they released this year are gorgeous too. My favorite song of them and the one I had on repeat the most is definitly SUPER BALL.

The only co-ed group on this list is lol. I am not too excited about their releases this year but there is two songs I absolutely love. So here are my two favorite songs of them in 2018.

Playback on Spotify

CRAZYBOY's "Loco" was definitly one of my most played song this year. I always get a good mood listing to this but also his "U.N.I" is pure love. I am already looking forward to his releases next year.

U.N.I. on Spotify

The next group is HONG¥O.JP. I like their releases quite a lot, especially "Just Do It", it's always stucking in my head after listening to it. Another song I call my favorite is "One Road".

One Road on Spotify

I listend to a lot of songs by DUAL MASK this year, sadly they released only one song this year. The song is called Always and is awesome. It breaks my heart that they are still so unknown. They are extremly talanted and their music is honestly so good. Please check them out if you have never heard of them.

Always on Spotify

Do you know these songs that are used in dramas and the more they are being played in the drama the more you love the song. "Sayonara Elegy" by Suda Masaki is one of these songs for me. Thought I did knew the song before I watched "Todome no Kiss", I fell much deeper in love with it because of the drama. His voice is beautiful and I LOVE the lyrics a lot. Definitly check it out and if you like dramas check out Todomo no Kiss as well.

The artists I listened to the most this year is by far Hirai Dai. His latest albums is really good and I love his old music too. His voice is very soothing to me, he transfers so many emotions with his songs. I became a huge fan of him this year and I am looking forward to more awesome songs of him next year. Here are my favorites of his 2018 releases.

Sounds Like A Love Song on Spotify

Beautiful Lane on Spotify

I will post the second part after christmas!

My recent JPop favorites from 2018

Today I want to show you my personal favorites of songs that have been released this year. These are just my personal favorites that I love repeating. There are other great songs but these stick to me the most. They are in no particular order.

ANTIME - Number One

This group gets me really excited. I think they are really talented and their music turns out really well most of the time. I am sure they will have a bright futur ahead and I hope for more awesome music with the years coming. So this particular song came out in February and is the main track to their first album "VISION" which is also their first cd to be sold in stores. Number One is a fun song that get's me in a good mood whenever I hear it and it makes me want to sing along. Kauan's vocals always stunnes me. All their voices are great but his one is the most outstanding for me. Also songs about friendship are always awesome.

MADKID - Summer Time

Like the titel of the song indicates this song has a summer feeling to it and since I am a summer person and LOVE summer songs I already had the feeling I would love it before I actually listend to the song, so my expectation was really high. However I didn't got disappointed. This song really has an amazing summer feeling to it. The rap parts are amazing as always and I love the singing parts of You-ta soooo much!! His voice is so nice to the ears.

Shimizu Shota - Friday

OK I just have to love this 'cause it's a song by Shimizu Shota my absolute number one. However besides me loving him so much, this song really is so good. I tend to often hum it whenever I am alone with my thoughts. This song always stucks in my head for a long time after listening to it. The refrain is so extremly addicting. ~Friday I don't care about anything~ ❤❤❤

COLOR CREATION - CANVAS

If you have been on my blog before you might already know that I LOVE this group. All the members and all the songs they released so far and I was extremly excited when they announced to have a their major debut already. CANVAS is an amazing major debut song because it shows off their amazing vocal skills. These 5 boys are so extremly talented, especially Takuya, Rioske and KAZ. Damn it I love their voices so much but Junpei and Yuuto have great voices too. I can't wait to recieve my copies of the single to listen to the b-side tracks.

FAKY - Who We Are

I fell in love woth this song as soon as I first listend to it. This is such a beautiful song not only vocal wise but also the lyrics or especially the lyrics. This song is about being true to yourself and to not care about what others say. The song has been translated into various languages by fans (Faky asked for that on their twitter, that's also where you can find the translations). I love when songs have such important and strong messages and the way the girls sing this song makes it feel even more honest. Their vocals are stunning as always, definitly still one of the best girl groups I ever listend to.

lol - ice cream

This is another extremly addicting song. The beat, their singing and the rap part making this song so extremly good. I am following them for so long already and I am not always extremly excited by their songs but this one definitly got me. I can't even count how much I already listend to this, it really is this good.

AKLO - Dirty Work

So first of all I need to tell you guys that I love this man for already uploading the full song to Youtube even befor it is being released on itunes. I love his music a lot and I am so much looking forward to the music video for this song but so far I am just enjoying this awesome song on it's own. His rap is the best!

Swimy - Tenshi to Akuma no Uta

Also as three members Swimy doesn't disappoint. This is one awesome song that always get's me sing along (as much as I can). Both vocals harmonize well and all their solo parts sounding great too. I love this group for their music and I hope they keep on releasing good song like this one.

WHITE JAM - Amaoto

I am always stunned by how easy it seems for them to release a very good song one after the other. This is once again a song of them I deeply fell for. The reason for that may be their amazing vocals all three of them have awesome voices and I always get goosebumps listening to them. Amaoto is a beautiful song full of emotions that they transfer easily. It is once more a well done song by them.

CRAZYBOY - LOCO

I am so much in love with this song, especially the last few days. This has been on repeat for so many times and I am not getting tierd of it. I love to turn up the volume whenever this song playes. It's one of these songs that make you dance and singe along unintentionally. I really love the solo music by ELLY and think it was one of the best decisions he ever made. This song is definitly my favorite of his releases but if you never check out his music I absolutly recommend checking out all his other songs too.

What are your favorite songs of 2018 so far?

Songs I recently can't get enough of...

Today I wanna share some songs with you that I listen to a lot lately. I love each of these songs a lot and hope you like at least a few of them as well.

[Hirai Dai - Story of Our Live]

Gosh that song is so extremly beautiful and stucks in my head for hours. I know the singer for some years already but never really liked his music but gosh this song... honestly it's SO good and even the other song of his new album he released a video for is very good. I am seriously thinking of buying the new album. *0*

[Touyama Mirei - Negai ~ anogoro no kimi e ~]

Again I know the artists for quite a while but even thought I like her voice a lot and some of her older songs are good, I never stuck to her. However Negai is an extremly beautiful song about Love, how it comes and goes. She delivers the emotions of the song very well. Besides I also really like the music video, it's as beautiful as the song and each compliments the other.

[EBiSSH - Koi wa Timing]

To be honest I didn't expect to like this song so much but after I listend to it the first time I couldn't get this song out of head. A lot of times I randomly start to sing the "kimi ni mu chu" part. This is definitly not the best song I ever heard, also because I still think they have to improve a lot, but the song is addicting and I started to really love it.

[Starmen KiDS - STAR★MEN SUMMER DAYS!]

OMG this song is so damn addicting whenever I listen to it I have to repeat it at least once. I really badly want to have the single so I can listen to this endlessly... XD I love the rythem of the song. It has this amazing summer feeling and their voices, while quite untrained, are still extremly cute and kind of nice to listen too. I really love this song! ^0^

[Chotokkyu - Gr8est Journey]

Chotokkyu really have some of the best songs for their fans. I love the message of this song, it showes how important their fans are and how much they appreciate them being with them. They sing they are going to take you with them on their way to their dream. I love that. It's a super powerful song with an awesome uplifting feeling. Besides that the song is also encouraging thinking about yourself. It has the message that you can achieve what you dream of. I really really love it. Despite the lyrics I also love the vocals of Takashi and Koichi in this song alot and the rythem of this song so damn good too. Absolutly recommended song.

[PrizmaX - Orange Moon]

I love the mysterious feeling this song has, the english the use in it and the amazing refrain. This song is pure love and the video, even though really simple, is perfect for the song. I am addicted to this song and I can't wait for the b-side tracksof this single. On a side note there is one part in the sing I always have to cring at. It's the part where Tim sings "Sexy finger dance". I always think about "the spirit fingers" (from bring it on). XD

[Color Creation - Waiting for You]

If you follow this blog you might already know that I love this group a lot and their debut song is just so good. I listen to it really often and never get boring of it. Especially the vocals of Rioske make me melt. I like all their vocals but he has such a smooth and powerful voice and stands out for me a little. I wish I could see them live one day.

[White Jam - Millionaire]

I really love the music of this group, most of their songs are so perfect. Their music is pretty different to the typical jpop music. You can hear that Shirose (who writes and composes these songs) is very much influenced by western music. I like this because I think what he creats is awesome and always makes you wanna sing a long. Same goes for Millionaire. I love to dance and sing to this song. It's a song that always get's me in a good mood.

[Chotokkyu - My Buddy]

This song is super addicting as well. I didn't expect to like it so much but it's one of these songs that get stuck in my head and I randomly start to sing it no matter what I am doing or where I am. Also I really love the dance to this song. It's so cute.

What are your favorite songs at the moment and did you already know all the songs on this list? Are you addicted to them too?

Color Creation released 1st MV

I am sorry for being a little late with posting this. I actually wanted to post it right when it was released but I had really no time recently but now I finally have time again and here it is their first music video.

I was so extremly excited about this. I already love this group so much and I will support them with everything I got. "Waiting for you" is so extremly beautiful. They have all awesome voices thought I like Rioskes voice the most but the others are incredible too. I can't wait for the second music video and I honestly hope they will release the cd in online stores too. PLEASE!!

What do you think about the song and music video?
