    New & Noteworthy J-pop of the Week (July 27, 2025)

    In connection with my desire to fully keep up with the J-pop industry, I’m planning to do a weekly round-up of any new releases that have caught my ear. Some of these may have been covered on the blog already, but my hope is that this will become a one-stop shop for anyone interested in what’s new in J-pop.

    With that in mind, here’s where you come in: I’m one person with one set of musical preferences, so please embed any other new J-pop tracks you’ve enjoyed in the comments so we can get a fuller spectrum each week.

    *And just like I do with my reviews, I’ll wait until full versions of songs are available before posting them in this round-up. This will mostly apply to Starto groups, who still limit the majority of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited versions.

    Aimer – A World Where The Sun Never Rises

    She’s bringing the drama with this one! I appreciate the bombast more than the actual song, but I’ve got to give it to her for sheer ambition.


    Ayumu Imazu – Howl

    Groovy and stylish, but ultimately pretty forgettable.


    Ballistik Boyz – All Of You

    A fine mid-tempo track with Afrobeats influence. Pretty tired of this sound, to be honest.


    DÉ DÉ MOUSE – When We Love

    A catchy (repetitive) dance track.


    go!go!vanillas – Dandelion

    A decent bit of indie pop.


    Hokuto – Tiger Boy

    There are so many of these groovy mid-tempos on the market. I don’t see what makes this different from any of the others.


    ICEx – Install

    This definitely fits within their quirky soundscape. It’s a bit too chirpy for me, though.


    KAZ (Generations) – T&W

    A decent shot of laid-back R&B, but why is everyone mired in such downbeat tempos?


    Klang Ruler – LullaBye

    This isn’t quite doing it for me, though I do like this band.


    LiSA – Shine In The Cruel Night (song of the week!)

    This is very cinematic. The surging chorus is especially effective. Kudos for releasing a 6+ minute epic in this music economy!


    Nogizaka46 – Naze Bokutachi wa Hashirunoka?

    A pretty forgettable iteration of their signature sound.


    SixTONES – Stargaze

    I wrote about this last week but now it has a music video.


    Tempest – My Way

    This is stronger than most of their recent Korean work, honestly. The rock sound fits them well.


    TVXQ – Tsuki no Ura de Aimashou

    A very jazzy offering from them.
