Jpop/metal: Babymetal - Karate

From maybe THE hot metal/jpop item of 2015, the three girls (and their possè) of Babymetal, now finally comes the much awaited first song from the new album "Metal Resistance", and for all the fans loving their mixture of metal and cute idol singing, this is most assuredly another favorite. I personally think it is not their best to date, but it is none the less quite nice.

Kpop: Got7

Got7 is an "international" male kpop idol group as it was put together with members from several countries (obviously with the idea to attract more fans) and their videos has been quite popular. I find myself still not feeling they have delivered anything worthwhile, but the new "If You Do" is promising. It has a little more focus and nice melody than the older tracks.

• Got7 - If You Do (니가 하면)
• Got7 - A
• Got7 - Stop stop it (하지하지마)
• Got7 - Around the world
• Got7 - Girls girls girls
• Got7 - Just right
• Got7 - Love train

Jpop: Kanjani8 (関ジャニ∞)

The guys at Kanjani8 is a sympathetic japanese group that mixes all sorts of music, with nostalgic streaks of enka that is very much visible in their funny video "Candy my love", where they double the fun by appearing dressed as idol girls.

Kpop/Jpop: Girl's Generation - Love&Girls

Girl's Generation(/SNSD) continues releasing (in my opinion) "meh" singles with this upcoming Japanese "Love&Girls", an obvious go at a summer hit. Please raise the quality level soon.
