Why is Pinky so great?
This just came out.
FAKY and FEMM and someone called Yup'in, they have an EP on iTunes with that song and three individual tracks.

Haven't even listened yet, but Gackt - Last Moon is up on Spotify already!
Listened to it all, love it!
A bit surprised to see "RETURNER ~Yami no Shuuen~" on there. Didn't that single release in...2007ish? Well, not complaining, I like the song. And I figure it fits into his MOON story if it's on here.

Youtuber kobasolo and singer Asako covered Hikki's Manatsu no Tooriame and it sounds sooo darn pretty. Seriously one of the nicest singing voices anywhere.

BABYMETAL REACTS TO YOUTUBERS REACT TO BABYMETAL
I'm kind of fascinated with their rise of popularity in the west.

I don't really care that much about Babymetal's music, but the fact is I would love to see them live.

yeah, that's kind of where I am too. the super devoted fandom is kind of baffling to me.
but I'll see them in like two weeks or so. fortunately some friends are tagging along so if there's annoying stuff happening around me it'll be easier to ignore. the show itself should be pretty good I assume.

I so want to see Babymetal live. I think I saw every one of their live DVDs and they look super fun.
Why no Canada bruh?

Obviously they wouldn't have caught on to this extent globally if they didn't have an obvious star in their frontwoman, a real stage presence. They also have a look of their own so they get people into it for their 'aesthetic' like with Kyary - a surefire way to build loyal, invested young fans. So yeah they've built up their success on their live shows, but there are some great pop melodies too. "Ijime, datte, zettai" was a classic. Their new album is really solid.
Unfortunately GOGO Dempa is not so solid. I've just had a first listen through and it was a bit underwhelming considering how much I enjoyed Dempagumi.inc's first two albums especially World Wide Dempa. Ahh they're still fun and BiSH are killing it so it's alright.
I'll go through it again tomorrow while I'm driving and hopefully it leaves a better impression.

I was really unimpressed by it but I think it's less that it's bad and more that I'm just tired of their sound, which they haven't changed at all.

Mariko Goto's latest idol song, by Love Android.
Mtopi now has a song produced by Kissa Sasaki (KOTO, Recoride).
I skipped this but SF got pretty lucky with Japanese music acts this year. I've already seen Seiho and TsuShiMaMiRe and am going to Boris tomorrow, have tickets for Perfume and Babymetal and will probably see Kyary and whoever else comes to J-pop Summit. I like a lot of the acts they book but they always feel like they're picked from some predictable "Cool Japan" list of acts the government wants to promote to the West.
That wotagei god.

I wish I would have been fortunate enough to get a ticket to Babymetal here in SF. Those tickets are going for insane prices now. They moved the date around for the tickets just like they did for Perfume. At least I got tickets for that show.
I can't wait to see Perfume and KPP though and J-pop summit actually has some acts this year as well so it's a good year. Even though I'm in the south bay the trip up each day is totally worth it.

I'm taking my daughter to the Dallas show and she's super excited, as am I. I think it's going to be cool as hell.
In other news, despite my wife listening to them fairly frequently...I just discovered FEMM exists and they're pretty much the top thing I'm listening to right now.

even though this is probably the first Mtopi song I've heard that doesn't completely suck, I still kind of expect more from everybody involved.
I'm kind of considering the SF jpop thing but it's a crap ton of money... but if they add enough good acts to the list I might have to bite
