Jpop: Charisma.com - Otsubone Rock (お局ロック)

From the same album as "Kongara Girl", Charisma.com now releases "Otsubone Rock". An Otsubone is a woman who has worked for a long time at an office, and is often meant in a bad meaning like her not having a life outside the office.

Kpop: Sunny Hill - Monday Blues

Finally! Is this the end of Sunny Hill's "boring" phase? I know that the ballads and touching songs they have released for some time now is liked by many, but for me they have been a step down from what they did at their renewal back in 2011 with "Midnight Circus" etc. The new "Monday Blues" isn't perfect in any sense, but it feels refreshing for Sunny Hill as they had this unique charm that I feel they have been downplaying with the more serious tone, but now is back.
