Here's a montage of songs from the album.
If you haven't downloaded you need to now.
My favorite is "lunatic" - it got to the point where I was getting mad at myself for playing it every chance I got but I just couldn't help myself.
On top of these, I also like kamasama ni natta hi. |
Yo REOL is everything!!! Their album was definitely a highlight of 2016. Also, they're one of the only new artists I listen to, along with Charisma.com, FAKY, and FEMM.
I'm still into j-pop, not as much as I used to be though. A lot of my favorite artists either fell off the face of the Earth (OLIVIA, Hitomi Shimatani) or switched to a more electronic style (Mika Nakashima, Ai Otsuka, Namie Amuro). I don't mind the shift in style, but it kind of bums me out when I think about how one of the reasons why I loved j-pop so much back then was because each artist had their own unique style. Mika was ballads/jazz/country/gospel/whatever she was doing, Ai was cutesy rock and ballads, Namie was hip-pop, etc... Now everything just kind of blends in together, I guess. There are still a few good new groups but I haven't really found any new solo singers I've really liked yet.
