Current Playlist Session 1

February I’m taking it a lot easier than January. The first thing on my to-do list for the blog is to review BoA’s new album, IDENTITY, after giving it a thorough listening which I haven’t done yet, but in the meantime I just wanted to share some song that are currently repeating themselves on my IPod.

FOREVER LOVE by Shota Shimizu x Kato Miliyah: I can’t believe I haven’t heard it before! I really like it, their voices mesh so well together and I like it more than their previous collaboration LOVE FOREVER. I’m not a fan of either singer truthfully, I’ve heard of them but I’ve never really followed them. I’m thinking of following Kato Miliyah more closely, her voice is gorgeous!

No Way by Koda Kumi: One of the only good album tracks off of her new album! It’s a totally new sound that she should spend time exploring.

Best Friend by Kana Nishino: It’s totally grown on me from the first time I’ve listened to it and the falsetto in the song is just LOVE, is that a whistle register I hear at the end?? I’m in love with this girl’s voice, she’s totally restoring my faith in J-Pop that Ayu and Kuu just keep beating to death.

もっと… (Motto…) by Kana Nishino: Totally addictive song, it’s the start of her new era, after she released her first album, I don’t really like her beginning era, but I like this new one, A LOT! Truthfully, I’ve been listening to her last two singles a lot but I don’t want to inundate this list with all her songs from her new era.Watch the video before it gets taken down! You know how the Japanese are about their videos being posted on youtube *grumble*.

THE D-MOTION by KAT-TUN: Ugh I got sucked into this song so bad, but I don’t like the other A-side, so I guess I’m still safe. Why must Kame sound so good in the chorus??

별별별 (☆★☆) by SNSD: Beautiful song, beautiful vocals, my 2nd favorite song from them after Genie!

웃어 줄 수가 없어서 미안하다/I’m Sorry I Can’t Laugh For You by 2AM: Honestly, listen to their entire mini-album, this happens to be my favorite song of their mini-album for the moment but it fluctuates when I come across their mini-album on my IPod.

GLORIA by YUI: It’s YUI, she pwns all. The b-side Muffler is incredibly enjoyable as well.

Hanbunko by Stereopony: Love these girls <33 and I’m totally feeling the song.

Love Revolution by CNBLUE: Yep, this is definitely my 2nd favorite song after their title song. Also helps that they composed and wrote the song themselves and saves themselves from any plagiarism issues with this one!
