“Tower Records” is a program in which Tower Records buyers from all over the country, regardless of Western, Japanese, or genre, trust only their ears and intuition to create breakout items right from the store shelves! This is a famous project that quickly picks up new artists before they become a hot topic and promotes them at all stores. This project, which started in 2006, is a highly promoted project in which items are decided every month through serious presentations and voting by buyers, and are rolled out to all stores.

These two are definitely the ones driving the Reiwa pop scene. The band’s name, taken from the Japanese title of Marvin Gaye’s album “Here My Dear,” also had a great impact. Their proudly self-titled first album “Divorce Legend” is full of nostalgic yet new good music that feels the influence of city pop and popular songs! A marriage of sweet singing voice and emotional guitar! Let’s start with “Love is even more mellow” with a refrain that sticks in your ears. Before you know it, you’ll be humming it!

A self-titled album by Riot Club, a rock’n’roll band with an average age of 20. The long-awaited first CD release since the first two works from the debut were only 7-inch releases! With Mr.PAN of THE NEATBEATS as the producer, we will cover original + R&R masterpieces. This eye-opening rock’n’roll is sure to be loved by all generations, regardless of age! No distribution scheduled. A work that shows the essence of rock to the passion of young people, which never changes even when times change. ① The opening shout of “Unstoppable” instantly hooked me!

This is the debut work by South African-born Tyla, who won the Best American Music Performance Award at this year’s Grammy Awards. The highlight of this album is the huge hit song “Water” (included in several tracks including remixes), a song that could become the catalyst that instantly spreads Amapiano, which originated in South Africa, to the world. It mixes a calm house rhythm with a mellow jazzy hip-hop feel, and the chorus has a melody that feels like African music.

The band’s playing ability is high and they are attracting a lot of attention in the live house scene, and their illustration MV is eye-catching, so they have received support from people who like artists on the internet! “Dance Decadence” is a must-listen track that, as the title suggests, will make you fall in love with it and be fun to listen to!

Contrary to the powerful performance and singalong, there is a great gap between the song and the song about everyday love that touches teenagers and 20s! “I Can Be Me” is a gentle and warm song that makes you forget how powerful Sunny Girl is. The lyrics from a woman’s perspective are romantic and the best.

When you first see the artist’s name, you wonder, “!?”, and then after listening to the music, you think “!!”. Their music is as perverted as the impact of their name, and their percussion-based electro is a fairly unique worldview.

All the songs are really stylish and catchy, and once you listen to them, you won’t be able to leave your ears, and the soothing melodies are truly soothing. The music video for “Nagisa”, which is also a song on the album, has a slightly retro feel, and it’s fun to watch as it blends the Reiwa era and the past in a good way! And the must-listen track “NIGHT DANCER” is not only a hot topic on social media, but also heard in various places, it is a masterpiece that represents imase, and the comfort of this song is number one.

The more you listen to it, the more you get addicted to it, the 1st EP from “luv”, the hottest music scene! Lyrics and vocals with a unique feel. Based on black music, they exhibit a variety of musical styles. A good song from the intro, “Lee Un Vile” mixes funk and rock in a ratio of about 7:3, making it a great listen.

A next-generation four-piece band from Fukuoka that is not bound by boundaries! The highlight is the stylish melody line. The singing voice is like a clear blue sky, and the lyrics that vo. Asakura spins are the best, and I think people who like Chilli Beans. will also like it! “Nevermind” gets you excited and no matter how many times you listen to it, it’s still good! It’s a must-listen!
