Kpop: Gfriend - Fingertip

Some fans is, evn though it was stated from the start, disappointed that the schoolgirl them for Gfriend's first three videos is now abandonded for a fresh start, but for me it is a release as this video is just all over better; the soundscape is just bursting with fun riffs and retro sounds (mostly 80s and is that...Laserdance?!) and the production is really enjoyable, with the video being full of them (as usual) doing nice dance numbers.

Kpop: SHINee - 1 on 1

Kpop veterans SHINee delivers a title track "1 on 1", from their new album with the same name, that shines (yes!) with 80s retro making me all warm and fuzzy.

Jpop: Daoko - Moshimo Bokura ga GAME no Shuyakude (もしも僕らがGAMEの主役で)

This new video is the second one from Daoko's triple-single being released this coming week, with "Bang!" preceeding it. While Bang! had a clapping thing going, in "Moshimo Bokura ga GAME no Shuyakude", the theme is obviously retro computer gaming, and what fun it is! That said, I like her singing too, and the production by Oresama's Hideya Koijima is great.

Jpop: Czecho No Republic - Dream Beach Sunset

The return of Czecho No Republic this year is playful and joyous electronic, best represented with their "Dream Beach Sunset". All the big and small sounds are just great, it's like a pokemon hunt trying to find them all. ;-)

Jpop: Have A Nice Day! (ハバナイ)

I mentioned Japanese "Have A Nice Day!" not so long ago. Time to share something of them and especially their leader Asami Hokuto, who in features heavily in the great "New Romance" which obviously is a tribute to the early 80s music wave with the same name. His english may not be great but damn does it work well here.
