East Asian pop update Nov 2017 - Feb 2018

It haven't been sustainable for a long while to do individual reviews for a long time now, but I still want to share some of the stuff I find good so here's a general update of what has passed the last few months, the best or the funniest.

Kpop:

General:

• Momoland - BBoom BBoom (뿜뿜). Maybe THE kpop hit of 2018, and the definite break through for the girls. For sure a viral hit with its dance moves and refrain, but with an catchiness that lasts.

• BoA - One Shot, Two Shot The best of the newest releases
• BoA - Nega Dola  Another great track by the queen of kpop

• OLNL (오르내림) - Kokiriko (코끼리코). He has a distinct style that is very and unexpectedly likable

• Gugudan - The Boots  After the decidedly weird (but great!) Chococo comes this more classic take on kpop.

Trot, ie old style korean music:

• Hong Jinyoung (홍진영) - Good Bye (잘가라). Miss Hong is back with another great video.
• Yoyomi (요요미) - Who's that guy (이 오빠 뭐야). A debutante. 

Jpop:

• BoA - Jazzclub  AND she releases great videos in Japan at the same time!
• Wednesday Campanella - Gala. Why the japanese make THE BEST commercials...

• Oresama - Meteor Shower (流星ダンスフロア)

• Sakanaction - Midnight Daydream. This is a cooperation with two fashion magazines to showcase a collection. It is in truth like a musical sweet daydream perfectly suitable to the sound of Sakanaction.

Chinese:

• Cosmos People - Bon Bon Bon Bon. After Hello Princess, another super likable song in a very Taiwanese pop style.

• Namewee ft. Meu Ninomiya - Tokyo Bon 2020 / Makudonarudo The Malaysian comic/musician is back with another catchy song.
• Dragon Pig - All About You  This kind of laid back (and non-cringy) R&B is actually rather unusual in the Mandarin music sphere.
