Ok, I really felt like posting here again, so I’ll try to just have fun with my blog, classes are coming and I’m already tired (AND nervous).


I’ve been addicted to “Dear…” for about 3 months. I don’t know what’s going on with JPop right now, since I haven’t been able to keep up with nothing last year. What it seems to me is that, lately, each year a new pop/r&b idol (ex: Thelma Aoyama and Kana herself) explodes with some hits and poof: disappears again. There’s nothing new and expressively interesting in JPop, and the most famous singers, like ayu and hikki, don’t release anything too different (actually, hikki hasn’t released anything in Japan for 3 YEARS already, BIG bummer :P ). It all seems boring, and it kinda makes me quite sad, seeing how addicted I was to JPop 2 years ago… Maybe it’s just me.

But I’ve been liking pop music long enough to know that I don’t rationalize things too much: a good song is a good song, whether the singer disappears or not, or whether the song is totally refreshing or not. For me, both “Dear…” and “Best Friend” deliver, the lyrics are really touching, and I can’t stop singing the melodies all the time. Kana’s voice is really sweet, and, let’s admit it, that’s what’s most important for me in music. While there are good pop songs that can keep me addicted, I’ll keep listening to JPop.
