My Top 15 releases of October 2017


This month was a good one again. Many releases of artists I like a lot and I few new discoveries have been in it for me. There is much more then these 15 songs that I liked this month so it was kinde hard to choose this ranking but here it is. Have fun listening and write me your favorites in the comments.


#15 Code-V - Winter Love


To be honest I am not too excited about this song, I mean I like it but I guess if I wouldn't be so biased about Code-V this song wouldn't have been in the top 15. Nevertheless I can't deny this actually is a cute winter themed songs.


#14 AK-69 - Stronger


*Stronger starts at 1:12*

I never really paid much attention to AK-69 maybe I should try listening to some more of his songs because I do like this songs quite a lot. The refrein is so addicting!


#13 AK-69 - I still Shine feat. Che'Nelle


I like a lot that he working together with Che'Nelle here. Her voice is very outstanding, powerful and beautiful. I love her own songs and I tend to pretty much always like the songs she is futured in because she gives those songs a special touch.


#12 Shogo Sakamoto - Koi to Uso - Gyutto Kimi no Te wo -


I like how simple and beautiful this song. I would't say it's something very outstanding but it's a song I know I would always enjoy, especially while just day dreaming.


#11 ONEPIXCEL - monochrome


I never heard of this group before but this song is pretty good. I like the pop/rock sound with a little hint of eletronic. They have quite high voices that remind me of Dream5's Kotori. It's the kind of high voice that even thought it's so high it's doesn't bother me at all.

#10 CUBERS - Kimi ni Negai wo


This is a very fun and also simple song. It gets me in a good and that's what I like about it.

{A 1st Impression of} Kotakura


I just came accross the group Kotakura. I clicked on a video of them because I thought it's Takuya Matsuoka in it and you know what, it's actuelly him (middle). It seems like he is in this group as well as being an solo artists. The other two members are Shousei (right side) and Naoki (left side). Shosei and Naoki are also active as the duo "crossover & co." (former named "Collagen BOY'z"). However Kotaku is still active.
It seems that "Collagen BOY'z" were the opening act for Matsuokas 2014 tour and around that time they became very good friends and spontaniously decieded to form the group "Kotakura". So they are still active in their main group / solo but also with Kotakura. Since all of them have other activities Kotakura is not very active but they already released three albums which is a good thing. Their voices harmonize very well. Here are some of their songs.




The first one is my favorite it's extremly beautiful. If you want to know about the other group as well tell me, I will try to find out more about them.

What do you think about them?

Takuya Matsuoka released Shinin' Light MV


Takuya Matsuoka will release his 6th solo album "REAL" on the 15.02.2017 and therefor he uploaded the music video for one of the songs a few days ago. The song is called "Shinin' Light". I really like the song, he has a very pleasent voice. The video however is really bad. You can see it's a low budget video and I personally don't like to watch it but I am still happy they produced one because otherwise I wouldn't have listend to this song so soon. Here is the video.
