Ai, Texas (or I guess “I, Texas”), released on 2.29.12, is Yamashita Tomohisa’s 5th single, first under Warner Music Japan, and also first since he officially left NEWS. The title track is the theme song for Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata ~Ending Planner~ which Yamapi stars in. 「愛、テキサス (Ai, Texas)」 starts with a quick paced [...]

Aoi Bench, released on 2.16.11, is Tegomasu’s 5th single. Aoi Bench was the ending theme for Onegai! Ranking during February 2011 and is also a cover of the song of the same name by Sasuke. 「青いベンチ (Aoi Bench)」 is a sweet mixture of piano, percussion, and what sounds like the flute (maybe the piccolo? not [...]

[single] Yamashita Tomohisa – Hadakanbo

Hadakanbo, released on 1.19.10, is Yamashita Tomohisa’s 4th solo single. 「はだかんぼー (Hadakanbo)」 is the only song on the single and it just so happens to mean… “naked person”. Huh. What a nice title, Yamapi. It’s primarily a funky jazz track and Yamapi actually sounds… decent. His voice matches quite well with the feel of the [...]
[single] NEWS – Fighting Man
Posted in Japanese, NEWS, single, tagged NEWS on November 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Fighting Man, released on 11.03.10, is NEWS’ 13th single. The title song 「Fighting Man」 is an energetic piece with the guitar and percussion giving the lively, electric feel to the song. Nishikido starts up first with his stark vocals before being followed by Yamapi then the rest of the members. The way the lines are [...]

[single] Yamashita Tomohisa – One in a Million

One in a million, released on 7.28.10, is Yamashita Tomohisa’s 3rd solo single. That is one horrible single cover, btw. 「One in a Million」 is a club beat with loads of autotune, ew. As much as I love Yamapi, this song is pretty bad. The chorus has Yamapi singing “You’re my one in a million!” [...]
[mini-album] Tegomass – Tegomasu no Ai
Posted in album, Japanese, NEWS on April 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
テゴマスのあい, released on 4.21.10, is Tegomass’ first mini-album. Starting up the mini-album is 「音色 (Neiro)」, an upbeat instrumental coupled with Tegomass’ sweet vocals. At first listen, it isn’t really anything very new for Tegomass and their sweet streak, but it’s a fun song. It’s sorta reminiscent to Ohno’s (Arashi) Kumori Nochi Kaisei being that it’s [...]
[single] NEWS – Sakura Girl
Posted in Japanese, NEWS, single, tagged NEWS on April 3, 2010 | 2 Comments »
さくらガール, released on 3.31.10, is NEWS’ 12th single. After their last single, 「さくらガール (Sakura Girl)」 has bittersweet lyrics coupled with a rather bright instrumental to balance things out. They sing of a love they once had and are still in love with but lost. I’m really liking their vocals a lot in this song because [...]
