3 members of King & Prince went to Tobe (a label fronted by another former J&A dude) and they just dropped their first single as Number_i. Hirano Sho is among the three!

 

What do we think?

This is a step up compared to her previous releases. Kuri is so underrated.
Don't know if this will be taken down but she did participate in Onirenchan with BENI.

Youthful queens. BENI needs to put out a new albums ASAP.

omg I didn’t even know there was a J-pop base thread :deadbanana4:

Thanks for mentioning it, @Suilen!

 

The Utada rate just ended and obviously I’m craving more. I have a long history with Utada’s music, but not many other Japanese artists, so I’m excited to go through all these posts/videos :duca: Love Ayumi, too, but I have listened to only a handful of her albums (LOVEppears, Duty, Memorial address, Remember you, a couple others) and need to check out more. From what little I know, I feel like she is amazing at serving 〜opulence

Missing this queen. She really got married and dipped. I always had a soft spot for her music.
