[single review] MEG - PRECIOUS

Tracklist:
1. PRECIOUS
2. CANDY
3. PRECIOUS [end of summer mix]
My opinion of MEG, when I first reported on her, was iffy but optimistic, but now is quickly approaching fanboy status. There’s something about her singles that makes everything better regardless of your mood before listening. I find her to be the happy medium between the supercuteness of [...]

5. HEART
6. SUPERSONIC
7. SEARCHLIGHT
8. NATALIE
9. KITTENISH
10. PRISM BOY

Back after her BEAM album, STEP brings all the TechnoPop goodness you come to expect of MEG and Nakata-san. On the blm cuteness scale, she’s a few notches under Perfume. Her voice still delivers that “I-don’t-know-what-it-is” factor and is suited perfectly with [...]

[mixtape] TechnoPopLove

Here’s something I’ve been planning to do for a LONG time now but I originally wanted to do it live using Traktor and record it all in one take, it’s just I’m not all that great at using it. I took a different route and tried doing it in FLStudio and just played with all [...]

[pv review] Perfume - シークレットシークレット

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRLdGQ0GCPE&hl=en]Mmm. Pino.
Perfume’s newest PV is a release off the forthcoming GAME album (April 16th!!) and is definitely a step up from the previous PVs they’ve released regardless of the fact that it’s a glorified ad for the refreshing taste of vanilla ice cream covered with chocolate, now even more delicious and mouth-watering since 1976, also [...]

[review] Ami Suzuki joins Yasutaka Nakata (capsule) - FREE FREE / SUPERMUSIC MAKER

Welcome to the end of summer 2007! My TBYB grace period has gone on for far too long. A special little package from CDJapan came in earlier today. Can you guess what it is?
If you said the best single of 2007, you would be correct. I’ve never really talked about this single on this blog [...]

[remix] johpan vs. Perfume and Buono! - Baby cruising Rider

People seem to be enjoying the original content c/o Kawaiirrhea around the International Wota blogosphere. I’ve been into doing remixes as a hobby for a few years now though, mostly doing happy hardcore and hardstyle remixes for the lulz. I’ve actually been working on this for a bit over a week and wasn’t planning on [...]

[opinion/chat] momo: haha omgosh cute overload!

One of my cousins, whom we’ve nicknamed momo, not because of momoko, but because her name, which I won’t say, is similar to momo, who’s sorta kinda into Japanese music, asked me if there were any new happy songs that recently released…9:31:25 PM momo: any new happy jsongs?9:31:39 PM johpan: ACTUALLY.
she totally just kicked a [...]

[remix] Nakata Yasutaka - xgroove

Here’s something you won’t come across often. For anyone who doesn’t know who Nakata-san is, he’s the musical half of the shibuya-kei duo, capsule, as well as producer and collaborator who has worked with artists such as Suzuki Ami, m-flo, Perfume, and MEG. His music inspires me so, and to my surprise, when I lurked [...]
