Music Playlist of the Month:August

Today is the first day of September! So, I will show you what songs I listened to often during the month of August.

Oh My Wish/Morning Musume'15

Oh god! I don't know what to say about this song! It's just epic! I don't want to go into detail but this song just has to be my favorite MoMusu song since Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke.

fire!/lol

This song has been around for a while and I was so happy when I found out this group was making their debut. This song honestly is  a hard song to listen to for those who can't stand autotune but if you try to look over the autotune, it's a pretty good song.

Shoujo Koukyouku/Wake Up,Girls!

The girls are finally back! When I first heard this, I just couldn't wait for it to be out! This song has a dark sound in the beginning up till the chorus which I like because it has both of a happy and mellow sound to it.

Wakatteiru no ni Gomen ne/Country Girls

These girls cannot get anymore cuter than this! This song is just awesome! Though I'm usually not one of those people who like cutesy songs, I just love their songs. I really don't know why. The thing I like about this song the most is how it has a typical young love storyline to it.

Say the Word/Kim Possible

So there are times when I go back watching some shows from my childhood. For some reason, I couldn't stop listening to this. I even tried to find the CD because I had it when I was a kid. But I was too lazy. I really like these types of songs and I wish that mainstream American pop music was more like this rather than it being a mess.

That is it for the month of august! If there is a song that you liked, please let me know!

Single Review:Iinjanai/Futsuu no Watashi Ganbare!

It's been a while since I've last done a single review. So as you can see I will be reviewing LovendoЯ's debut single Iinjanai/Futsuu no Watashi Ganbare! 

Iinjanai: This song definitely reflects a new start for LovendoЯ and was just the right song for their debut. Like how it shows in the music video, this song is like the band is getting out of a dark cave and joining the light. Still, this song has a hard rock sound to it just like their indie songs, but it's more bright in a way. I really like how the lyrics are laid back and saying it's okay to relax and have some fun. I think this song is a good song to listen to especially when you're down or stressed. 

Futsuu no Watashi Ganbare!: Compared to Iinjanai, this song is rather girly and cute. Due to that, I didn't like it at first but it grew on me. I think both songs in this single has a similar meaning. The difference is that I think this song is more for girls than guys. Lastly, I think the lyrics are really unique and I'm so glad Tsunku-san wrote the lyrics for it. 

In conclusion, I think this single is a strong single and it showed more of the silly and fun side of LovendoЯ which I liked. I'm a little concerned if they're upcoming singles will be songs like this because I prefer if they released some songs like the ones from their mini albums. But overall, LovendoЯ is LovendoЯ and I think this single showed how they're capable of singing other types of music.

Music Playlist of the Month: July

I know that July ended a while ago but I still wanted to share with you guys some of the songs that I really liked last month.

Nana Korobi ya Oki/ANGERME

I was just in love with this song! This song is just epic! It really showcases their vocals and dance, and having the dancers and all that, it just made this song more amazing. I never thought this group would get songs like this so I hope they will have more in the future.

Shining Diamond/Seventeen

To be honest, I didn't like this song as much when I first listened to it but I gave it a few listens and I started liking it. This group is very talented considering the fact they just made their debut a few months ago(well they trained before they made their debut so yeah, obviously).

Yuki toki/Nagi Yanagi

This song is more rather peaceful and something that makes me want to listen to when I get sick of edm music. The singer's voice is very soothing in my opinion and it just nice to listen to when I just want to listen to non-idol music. I'm planning to write a review about My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU so please forward to it.

Iinjanai/Lovendor

This song is a lot different than what they sang during their indie era. I just like how it's energetic but at the same time, it still has a rock sound to it and it's just cool. This song probably will make me feel better when I'm down.

So that was it! I know it isn't a lot of songs. I really need to start keeping track of what I listen to because I tend to forget pretty easily. There are a lot of months that I missed so I'm planning to make a post of all the songs that I didn't post so please look forward to that.

Music Playlist of the Month: May

So this is my 2nd time writing this entry because the first time I wrote this down, the videos would disappear one by one so I got really frustrated and just gave up for the night. So for the month of May, I decided to listen to some throwback music.

AMAZING LOVE/Folder 5

Compared to their other songs, this song has more of a sad and dark tone to it. I was just obsessed with this song and also decided to give a listen to the original version. I actually started listening to this song again when I saw all singles were finally on Itunes Japan and I couldn't resist buying it.

Ready/Folder 5

I feel like this song is a good song to listen to when you're down. It has a cheery party sound but it has very meaningful lyrics.

GO AHEAD/Folder 5

Finally, AKINA is not the only one that sings! I think this song showcases all the members vocals and shows how talented all of them are. As for the song, this is still a pretty typical Folder 5 song.

Kanashimi Twilight/Morning Musume

I decided to dig through some older Morning Musume songs. I love their current songs but it's nice sometimes to listen to something that isn't EDM. What I like about this song is that it has this rock sound and it makes feel like it's better to live more independent and not trust guys as much.

Onna ni Sachi Are/Morning Musume

I cannot believe I did not appreciate this song more when I first listened to it. I just love how this song is sort of about moving on and find happiness.

Nen ni wa nen/Kobushi Factory

Kobushi Factory is now officially my favorite new group. I first didn't think they were very talented but after listening to this song on Girls Live, they had so much energy and power.

Survivor/Kobushi Factory

I like how they had of their songs from their musical into a single. For a song in a musical, it sounds more modern to me but I don't listen to songs from musicals so I'm not too sure. Like Nen ni wa nen, it has a rock sound to it but it's more darker and mysterious.

Easy Go/Girl's Day

I actually found this song through Itano Tomomi's version of this song. I honestly like this more than Come Party. One of the reasons is because the members in my opinion has better vocals then Itano.

So that is it for this month's music playlist of the month. If you liked any of the songs, comment down below and feel free to recommend some of the songs you like.

Music Playlist of the Month: April

It's been so long since I've done one of these! I think the last time I posted anything on this blog was around February and the last time I did a music playlist was around August. So without further ado, here is my late music playlist of April!
 Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru/Morning Musume'15
  　　　　
I will make reviews for these 3 songs brief because I will be planning to do a single review. I remember when the radio rip first came out, a lot of people didn't like this song. I honestly don't think it's bad. In my opinion, it's honestly better than TIKI BUN. The only thing I don't like about this song is that there isn't really an impact.

Yuugure wa Ameagari/Morning Musume'15

I just find this song so soothing to listen to. It's like the Toki wo koe sora wo koe 2.0 but I like this song more. I just love the intro where it's a soothing piano sound and it's a very peaceful song.

Ima Koko Kara/Morning Musume'15
                   
This definitely suits this line-up so much! I think this line-up is just the right line-up to sing this song. I was kind of excited when I figured out they'll be doing a song for Pretty Cure because I loved it when I was a little kid. I like how this song starts off with a ballad then the tempo gets quicker and it's a good song with a good meaning.

Inochi was Utsukushii/Nogizaka46
　　　　　　　　
When I first heard this song, I was thinking to myself,"Why haven't I heard this song before??". This just have to be one of the best songs Nogizaka46 has released. I'm not a huge fan of the 48 groups but I think Nogizaka is pretty talented.

The Middle Management~Josei Chuukan Kinaishoku/℃-ute
I just think This song is so mature and suits this group well because of their age. This group is such a strong group and I feel like Tsunku's been giving them songs that aren't that good but I'm glad this song and the single is really strong. I hope they will keep getting good songs that can showcase their talent.

So that is it for my late music playlist of the month! I will be making another soon and this time, I will hopefully remember all the songs that I was obsessed with this month.

Single Review: Taiki Bansei/Otome no Gyakushuu

Long time no see everyone! I feel like it's been so long since I've done a review or anything like this. To be honest, I have been lazy and I didn't have any motivation to post on this blog. But today I will be doing a single review on ANGERME's single Taiki Bansei/Otome no Gyakushuu.

Taiki Bansei: This song is just so upbeat and catchy and I just love it! I think this song is such a good start for ANGERME and I just love seeing the members looking happy and proud performing this song. I feel like this song can turn anyone's frown upside down. Also I think the lyrics are so meaningful and I like how it's saying it's okay to be slow and just take your time because eventually you are going to be the best.

Otome no Gyakushuu: First of all, this song is completely different from Taiki Bansei. It has a mysterious sound and it definitely is a good song for Halloween. I honestly find the lyrics in the beginning a little random but other than that, I really like this song also.

I know this review wasn't very detailed but in conclusion, I think this single is very strong. I'm now actually glad that ANGERME added new members and changed their name. I thought they were getting a little bland and this single reflexes a new start for them. I hope ANGERME will be able to stay strong and stay powerful and energetic.

Rev From Dvl-Real Lyrics

Furikiritai kono kimochi mezame kaketa kokoro ga
Sawaida kono mune no takanari wa nani? Tomaranai 

Hasha ida ato no shizukesa no you ni
Tsumetai kaze ga kokoro no netsu ubau yo　
Sayonara nante samishii darou tte
Dakedo ima wa kono kyori ga ii kara

Miwaku no hohoemi de iya shi na gara toki ni
zankoku na hodo KUURU ni natte mitai

Kawashita KISU mo ima de wa Kokoro koko ni arazu de
Sokkenaku kawashitara ne! Iya desho?
Abunagenai kono mama ja Ukemi ni wa narenai kara
Kageki de utsukushii RIARU na kokoro Toki hanate 

Egao de kotae shiorashi taido de
Furu mau koto de kokoro tsunagi tometeta
"Aitai nante" iwasete mitai
Omowase buri de jirashi te mitari ne

Akogarete itadake tada sore dake dayo tte
Tsurenai soburi de kotae te miru no

Kawashita koi no yukue wa Watashi dake ga wakatteru
Hitomi ga PURACHINA no youni kagayaku
Furikiritai kono kimochi mezame kaketa kokoro ga
Sawaida kono mune no takanari wa nani? Tomaranai 

(Yeah) Shiro kuro tsukero tte
(Yeah) Sou yatte itatte
Dare datte Do it Now
Yatta tte iin datte
Do that
Do that It's been good! 

Dare mo Dare mo Dare mo ki ga tsukanai(I don't think)
Mune no naka ni himeta tenshi to akuma
Nishya taku itsu ni semararete Tsui tsui honne ga dechau
Honto no sugata miseru 

Kawashita KISU mo ima de wa Kokoro koko ni arazu de
Sokkenaku kawashitara ne! Iya desho?
Abunagenai kono mama ja Ukemi ni wa narenai kara
Kageki de utsukushii RIARU na kokoro Toki hanate
