MAKE IT POP I haven't seen any kind of general pop thread in the global music sub-forum and that just will not do! 2020 is shaping up to be an amazing year for pop music and there must be a thread to discuss everything pop-related! I'm going start by sharing some upcoming releases I'm looking forward to and then sharing some artists I've enjoyed since last year. Upcoming Releases Rina Sawayama Sawayama (04.17.2020) -Rina's been making some waves in the indie pop scene. She seemingly just came out of nowhere but managed to make an impression on people with her self-released EP "Rina" with hits like "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" and "Ordinary Superstar". Her sound is very reminiscent of 90's pop/r&b but she finds ways to make it sound fresh and interesting. She's got a new album coming out in April of this year titled "Sawayama". Samples Purity Ring Womb (04.03.2020) -Purity Ring is a Canadian electronic pop duo drawing from sub-genres like glitch-pop and synth-pop. While they can sound bright and poppy, their sound is more strongly defined by dark and ominous undertones both lyrically and musically. They're probably most known for their tracks "Fineshrine" and "Obedear". They'll be releasing a new album titled "Womb" in the beginning of April and it's sounding like it'll be a more lighter listen. Samples Recent Favorites Grimes Miss Anthropocene (02.21.2020) -I'm sure Grimes doesn't need an introduction. She's known for her unique sound of ethereal and pop music and made hits such as "Genesis" and "Kill V. Maim". Her album "Miss Anthropocene" came out earlier last month and, honestly, it's been one of my favorite releases in 2020 so far. Certainly not the most amazing album and, arguably a bit half baked, but there are some solid tracks on the album and I've been revisiting it often. Samples Charli XCX Charli (09.13.2019) -Charli XCX went to the top of my favorite artists in 2019 when I listened to her latest album "Charli". Her sound was so different than a lot of other pop artists I had heard. While she certainly has songs with tons of pop appeal featuring bright dance-y music and catchy lyrics, she also brings with that a blend of future pop and experimental sounds. The production on her latest record is absolutely amazing and I was hooked from the first track onward. Although I'm a fan of her latest sound, she's probably most known for songs like "Boys" and "Vroom Vroom" (which, I absolutely love both). Samples Sophie Oil Of Every Pearl's Un-Insides (06.15.2018) -If Charli XCX's recent output is futuristic, then Sophie's music is so far ahead in the pop genre that by the time it's considered a classic the human race will have evolved into a higher physical state (fun fact, Sophie actually produced Charli XCX's EP "Vroom Vroom". ). All jokes aside, this album is quite simply something else. It has a few more traditional poppy moments but the other 90% hits you with leftfield experimental sounds intermixed with soundscapes and industrial bass music. The production on this record is so good though and there were so many times I kept asking, "what the hell was that sound? How did she do that?". It's certainly not for everyone, but for those looking for a more expanded take on pop music, so much as to the point of almost being unrecognizable, I highly encourage you to take a jump. Samples

I'm seeing Ghost live again tomorrow and thought it was about time this brilliant band got their own thread on the forum. I've followed Ghost since the release of their debut single Elizabeth, and I've enjoyed every release since then. Ghost is a big fucking circus with great music, and live they're a force of their own. Few bands can match the live shows of Ghost in 2016. As far as their live shows goes the most natural comparison would be Rammstein, rather than bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Foo Fighters. I think all three albums are top quality, but if I had to rate them: 1. Infestissumam Ghost goes pop-rock. Infestissumam sounds like a mix of Abba, Roky Erickson and with very little hard rock and heavy metal. Catchy as fuck. Only flaw is the weak production. Too polished and over-produced, but the brilliance of everything else makes up for it. Hightlights: Year Zero, Ghuleh / Zombie Queen and Monstrance Clock. 2. Opus Eponymous A hard rocking mix of Blue Öyster Cult, Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate, though Mercyful Fate is named more or less only because of the atmosphere and feeling of the album. Highlights: Ritual, Elizabeth and Stand by Him. 3. Meliora By far their heaviest album IMO. An adventurous dig into progressive rock, heavy metal and hard rock. Sounds like a mix of Genesis, The Beatles and Blak Sabbath. Highlights: From the Pinnacle to the Pit, He Is and Absolution. I also think their covers of Abba's I'm a Marionette, Roky Erickson's If You Have Ghosts and The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun is as good, if not better, than the original songs. I also really like their cover art, even though the execution of Infestissumam is poor. But the film refrences of their cover art is nice and a cool touch to it all. Opus Eponymous - Salem's Lot Infestissumam - Amadeus If You Have Ghost - Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens Cirice - The Silence of the Lambs Meliora - Metropolis Year Zero - Paradise Lost (not a film, but still cool) They also have two tour shirts refrencing A Clockwork Orange and Jaws. Both looks sweet as fuck.

I love emo SALU. I feel like I'm probably a bit off with some parts of this one though, so if you have any corrections please feel free to let me know. SKY TO DIE feat. SALU Lyrics: RYKEY, SALU Music: A-KAY The sky looks so far away The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die The sky looks so far away The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die [RYKEY] Today as well, my world is freedom I can’t make anyone else feel it, this freedom I’m just repeating the same days over and over Today as well, the flow of time is freedom* I don’t want to meet up with anyone I can't even answer the phone now Surely you’re doing better than me Hello Mr. President The sky looks so far away The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die The sky looks so far away The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die [SALU] In this town, everyone seems to be happy There's a Sunday farmer’s market Even if I chat with the driver a bit or something, it’s no use I get calls from my friends and have conversations about work But I can’t go back to the day I want to return to I’m searching for a reason to die, But I can’t betray you when you’re waiting for me Heaven and hell are both meaningless Like this, I'll head up to the top of that building Holding on tight to everything, I'll flap my wings I just want to be praised by that person** The sky looks so far away The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die The sky looks so far away The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die Notes: *, ** I’m not sure about these lines in particular SKY TO DIE feat.

I've never really been able to get into CHEMISTRY, but his solo stuff is super cute. I made some small adjustments to the English in the translation to make it flow a bit better, but the romaji has the original lyrics. It’s a new day Lyrics: Horiko Hiroki, Dohchin Yoshikuni Music: Horiko Hiroki Right in the centre of my heart, there’s a strained voice that I had lost On the night I decided, it was like the rain was a signal* I don’t need anything but you There’s no one on the scene Say those words of love once again Starving for love, I want to feel you You can’t see it with your eyes, this aching It’s a new day, it’s today And I’ll live with you forever** I won’t say goodbye Is it too late to tell you? I swear I’m never givin’ up So give me another sky I woke up from the dream It was like my sleeping emotions were bursting open*** To keep that feeling from escaping, I held on tight I don’t need things like loneliness I hope the real meaning will reach you Love has come to an end once again To feel you was to be touched by love Don’t forget this aching It’s a new day, it’s today And I’ll live with you forever I won’t say goodbye Is it too late to tell you? I swear I’m never givin’ up So give me another sky It’s a new day, a true day And I’ll believe in myself forever I won’t say goodbye Is it too late to tell you? I swear I’m never givin’ up So climb up to the purple sky Notes: *Really not sure about this line – I think what I have is probably very wrong **I think this means in an emotional sense, not literally ***I’m not sure about this one either It’s a new day Mune no mannaka nakushi-kaketa furishibotta koe Sou kimeta yoru tsugeta ame anata igai nanimo iranai Daremo inai ON THE SCENE Ai no kotoba ONCE AGAIN Ai ni ueta TO FEEL YOU Me ni mienai kono ACHING IT’S A NEW DAY IT’S TODAY AND I LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER I DON’T SAY “GOOD BYE” IS IT TOO LATE TO TELL? BUT I SWEAR I’M NEVER GIVIN’ UP SO GIVE ME ANOTHER SKY Yume ga sameta harisake-sou na nemutteta omoi Sou hanasanu you ni nigirishimeta kodoku nante mou iranai Kimi ni todoke REAL MEANING Ai ni kureru ONCE AGAIN Ai ni fureta TO FEEL YOU Wasurenaide kono ACHING IT’S A NEW DAY IT’S TODAY AND I LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER I DON’T SAY “GOOD BYE” IS IT TOO LATE TO TELL? BUT I SWEAR I’M NEVER GIVIN’ UP SO GIVE ME ANOTHER SKY IT’S A NEW DAY, TRUE DAY AND I BELIEVE MYSELF FOREVER I DON’T SAY “GOOD BYE” IS IT TOO LATE TO TELL?

I feel like someone has probably already translated this, but I wanted to try. There are a lot of lines I'm not sure about, but I think the general idea is pretty clear. In My Life Lyrics: SALU Music: BACHLOGIC I don’t know the future I can’t even tell you what will happen two seconds from now That’s why we can’t be stopped* No one can confine us Yeah, money, I got it Let’s shout “kanpai!” out loud Baby we can do it all Hey, we can do anything The power of false assumptions is amazing* Before, if I wanted something, I used to just make a silent wish to Santa Being a spectator at a game as well, Well, it’s fun for what it is** But “I’m a player” The moment I started feeling that way, there was no stopping me There are no second chances at life What’s behind you won’t change, so look forward There are no second chances at life This is my life, you know Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped There are no second chances at life This is my life, you know I wonder how it will turn out I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know When you’re filled with regrets, It’s like your heart is stuck I drink the last of my coffee at the park There’s only five minutes left…okay “I may not have found a job in a first class business, but I’m okay I’m living on my own, without any trouble” “Sending…” Somehow, when I look up at the sky, I think of common phrases and ads Things like “I want to see you” and rules to be cool*** I want to change this planet into my ideal world, But, well, the truth is, you can’t change the true nature of human beings Violence and capital rule over us And the people who want to give us some leeway can’t get results**** Mammonism and materialism Dealing with material bitches, from this point on it’s impossible***** When they looked at me, I used to be able to flip them off****** But I throw the peace sign back at them too Every now and then I feel like my heart is breaking, But I’m going to make the world I’ve been dreaming of If I keep trying over and over again, The future will change a little bit Without letting it go out, I’ll turn that tiny flame into my strength and go! There are no second chances at life This is my life, you know Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped There are no second chances at life This is my life, you know I wonder how it will turn out I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know How much time is left? And how much money do we really need? I ask myself that, but of course, all I know is what’s going on right now We’ll be thinking about those things all our lives But it’s heaven on earth, this air I’m sharing with you We keep fighting against gravity You work with your time and pay with your time******* We are earthlings There are no second chances at life This is my life, you know Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped There are no second chances at life This is my life, you know I wonder how it will turn out I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know That’s right, nobody knows what the future will hold You don’t know So let’s savor the present This is my life There’s no second chance You drive me crazy And so, maybe It won’t end Notes: *, **, ***, ****, *****, ****** I’m really not sure about these lines ******* I think the idea here is that if you work all your life you won’t have any time to do anything else and you’ll regret it, but I’m not sure In My Life Boku wa mirai no koto na do shiranai Ni-byou saki no koto datte wakaranai Dakara mou daremo tomerarenai Daremo bokura o ashidome wa dekinai YEAH..

Let’s Dance!! Lyrics: Takeuchi Sati-Four Music: ONIGAWARA The truth is, I'm definitely really interested in you What do you think of me? How things are going to progress from here My imagination has reached its limit I want to learn more and more about you Tonight, definitely That’s right, I want to know the answer Following some boring formula is no good Teachers don’t know the solution And places like schools can’t teach it But the answer is definitely somewhere in this night You can’t take that first step You hesitate, saying “Someone like me…” Saying things like “That’s pathetic” or “uncool”* You don’t really feel that way, do you?** Let’s dance!! Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing Right now!! Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right? Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!! Let’s get together now!! “Hey, sensei, won’t you teach me?” Things are going to progress from here*** Let’s break away from this boring party On the stage of the starry sky The mirrorball moon is circling round We’ll share a romantic dream tonight You trip on the first step And you end up lying down on top of the asphalt People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool” But, it’s okay if you can get up from there, right? Let’s dance!! Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing Right now!! Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right? Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!! Let’s get together now!! Society makes you dance along with it**** But there’s no one like you People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool” But, I wonder if those are really such bad things to be? Let’s dance!! Let’s clap our hands along with everyone else! Right now!! Even if you’re out of time, it’s okay, right? If you believe only in your own heart Let’s dance!!

Did another SALU song since I'm kind of bored and recovering from a really stressful work week. This translation is probably at least a little off. The second verse, especially, might be very wrong, but I think the rest at least gives you a fairly good idea of what it's about. ハローダーリン / Hello Darlin' Lyrics: SALU Music: SUI/take-c Heading out of the forest of radio waves, I'm going to see you again tonight I wonder what you're doing now? Even in this eco-friendly age, I found a reason to start scattering gasoline I love this sound You're always so busy, So I can't see you Just like someone I saw outside the window* Like that older guy I saw walking using his smartphone Going around like that he'll bump into someone** Looking down like that, I wonder if he'll be able to find the woman that he's come to look for?*** Rays of light are coming in through the window Who is that person over there waiting for? I don't know how far apart we are, But if only I could fly, I want to fly to you**** Listen, Those guys say “That girl is just using you”, but, They say you're an evil woman, but Hello darlin', I miss you Hello darlin', I need you Hello darlin', I miss you Hello darlin', I'm going to see you Around this time, I'm held back by the traffic I can't move forward at all, But I want to see you right now Please, give me wings Then I'll fly to you right away The radio news is on, I wonder what I should agree with***** Someone has done something to someone for some reason Your smile cuts right through all those dark topics I can't believe anyone else And if that's the case, I at least want to be able to believe in you I want you to only believe in me I won't pay attention to the things they say I want to dance in the palm of your hand The butterfly that dances in the night sky is calling to me but, I want to go where you are, so Hello darlin', I miss you Hello darlin', I need you Hello darlin', I miss you Hello darlin', I'm going to see you I don't care what you're doing now, I don't care girl It's not for your sake It's because I just need to see you right now Notes: *,**,***,****,***** Really not sure about these lines, so I'd take them with a grain of salt. If you have any corrections, please feel free to let me know. ******The way I'm reading this is like he wants to kind of be in her power – like “wrapped around her finger” or something, but maybe he just means he wants to hold hands while they dance? It's the "de" that's throwing me off. ハローダーリン / HAROO DAARIN Denpa no mori o nukete Kimi ni ai ni iku yo mata konya Kimi wa ima nani shiteru no ka na?

SALU is from Kanagawa, and there are a lot of references to things in the area in this song that I probably don't understand the significance of. The video is quite literal though, and it seems to line up for the most part, so hopefully this translation isn't too far off. AFURI* Lyrics: SALU Music: SALU, OHLD Coming out of Tokyo and Nagoya on the Shuto Expressway It's been a while since I've driven this way When I see that billboard and main tower, it always seems to calm me down Today as well, the Odakyu line** is running through Everyone is riding it, making their way home There's nothing up in the sky, But everything is here, yeah Mount Oyama is dyed orange, red and yellow And there's the hill where we happily watch fireworks shoot up over Sagamigawa*** in the summer In the area where the most streets intersect, I throw a peace sign out to the people working hard I wonder if the weather will be right tonight? Look everyone, clouds are gathering over Afuriyama**** again The two of us from back in those days This city remembers Even now, I'm definitely still walking here with you Walking, Walking, And laughing with you It's not there anymore, that old department store We can't change the past, So let's draw out our future I can't see the figure retreating into the distance from that time anymore, But there's new artwork in the underground tunnel When it comes to those guys hanging out in front of the station, There's no helping it, should I approach them? No matter what you do,***** That will never get better, will it? There are lots of different cities, and lots of different countries, but, in the end, This one is the best We're living in this city We're living in this city I'm looking out at Tokyo from this city I'm looking out at the world from this city The scenery that was supposed to stay the same as it was back in those days, It's happening slowly, but I can definitely feel it changing around me The two of us from back in those days This city remembers Even now, I'm definitely still walking here with you Walking, Walking, And laughing with you Notes: *This is a reference to a mountain in Kanagawa called “Afuriyama”, which SALU also references in this song by its other name “Mount Ooyama” **A train line ***A river ****”Afuriyama” means “rainy mountain”, which is why I think he switched to using that name when talking about the clouds *****I don't really know how to read this. I'm assuming these people are kind of shady acquaintences, crazy people, delinquents or other people he'd rather avoid that shouldn't be loitering around the subway station and SALU is saying either A. No matter where you go or how you try to get rid of them, that type of person will always be there, or B. He says something to them as he passes by but doesn't expect it to do any good. Or both of those interpretations might be wrong. I'm not really sure.

Hey guys, as some might already know i also play in a band as saxophonist (or atm bassist) Funkômas (me is bottom row orange shirt btw) Facebook it was mainly a backgroundmusic-swing-coverband when i joined, but we now have changed towards only playing original self-composed material that borders into the aforementioned genres (i'd like to think it compares a bit to Tokyo Jihen, but that's probably a stretch/wishfull thinking) we released an album back in march (i think) and here is a little trailer of that here are some of the songs in full if you are interested in having a listen Friends Of Drug Abuse https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7899279/01%20Friends%20Of%20Drug%20Abuse.mp3 Happy Violence https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7899279/03%20Happy%20Violence.mp3 Modern Schizophrenic https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7899279/06%20Modern%20Schizophrenic.mp3 Rise Again https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7899279/09%20Rise%20Again.mp3 Your Brother https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7899279/10%20Your%20Brother.mp3 most of these songs (all save for 'brother') have been written by me, but the CD also features a bunch of songs from other bandmembers too. thanks in advance if you took the time to listen to some of the stuff, and even more thanks in advance if you decide to leave some feedback or sth

I'm looking for a place where I can buy out-of-print music like Closet Child or Puresound, but instead of Jrock I'm searching for Pop . Ebay you have to be lucky and with Amazon it's usually the case that the seller won't ship it to you. Does anyone know any websites like that? Thanks!

I am a lazy writer so I'd rather copy everything what aramajapan said: and a "lead PV": Sounds solid.

3 months ago I recorded my first vocal cover and for today I felt like revealing it Check out my soundcloud in case I've added more songs xD *Note: I don't own professional recording equipments. I use GarageBand from my Mac Laptop to record my covers. *Note 2: Pronounciation might not be 100% accurate as I'm not Japanese XD Note 3: Song requests are welcome, as long I don't need to scream in it or something XD Linh's vocal cover list #1 [Vocal cover] Diaura - Lily *note: I have recorded this song mulitple times because I failed on the lyrics. From all ~30 (?) samples, I choose this one for the best Feedback is always welcome, but don't be too harsh on me XD

as the title said, it's popular now that pop songs covered by those punk bands. eg, the V.A. Pop Goes Punk vol.x create by Fearless Records sth sth... and I really love Woe Is Me's We R Who We R and Hot N Cold. would you mind recommend more songs like this? except that Pop Goes Punk V.A. cuz I've got all of them listened to...

Okay, let's do a review about けけ(ヶ´∀`)'s DARUMAROMAN single! I'd love to hear your opinion! In short: - DARUMAROMAN This is my favorite song of the whole single. It's a happy-cheerfully song. Also, if you haven't seen his dance cheography yet, you gotta check that out! It's really a cute dance which you can easily learn as well! But anyways, this song is the best! It's really a creative but poppish-like song. I think it's really Keke-alike song...! it kinda shows his character / how a cheerful person he is. - MADa☆YADa This song is sweet, like a lullaby for me if I can't sleep. It's softer than the DARUMAROMAN song actually, but I like it. - Hello, Worker This song is also some softer song like MADa☆YADa, but has more some kind of up-beat. I think this song is also pretty, you can hear his softer voice also Overall, it's a good single, all 3 songs are really enjoyable to listen. If you haven't tried this single yet, I really recommend you to listen!
