This past week was full of excellent new tracks to listen to, and as usual we're back with our picks. New music from sakanaction, Peterparker69 (with Yojiro Noda of Radwimps), Tsukino Mito, aran, moka & canon, and persicaria!

This party was absolutely nuts, so much bouncing around just to try and catch all of the different acts across 5 stages. And that's not even mentioning Sachiko Kobayashi's performance, I am so glad I didn't miss it.

After a break for the new year Bandcamp Fridays are back and we've got our customary list of recommendations including new releases from: @kaomozirecords.bsky.social MARU303 SPRAYBOX Sanketsu Tenshi Bungaku-chan meow @arimuri.bsky.social the sub account and more!

Wading through all of the new music that comes out every week can be a daunting task, so we're curating a weekly selection of new tracks that rise above the noise. Our first entry includes new music from Creepy Nuts, Lovely Summer Chan, and more.

KAF (@kaf-info-en.bsky.social) teams up with Moe Shop (@moeshop.jp) for the latest single in her Suite 2 series, "My Life". With its driving beat and attitude laden vocals it's a strong start for her 2025!

Sou is a singer with roots in the utaite scene who isn't afraid to look backward in order to move forward. @mbmelodies.bsky.social spoke with him following a very busy year about his recent work, creative process, and the scenes he originated from.

TIL that L.E.D. (Toshiyuki Kakuta) was apparently responsible for the Japanese soundtrack to Street Sk8er on PlayStation (STREETBOARDER/Simple 1500 Series: The Skateboarding) and goddamn is it good. You can hear some of it in this video.

While Solitary Gourmet is an apt title for the ongoing exploits of Goro Inogashira, he often isn't the only one who's hungry when viewers tune in. @mbmelodies.bsky.social gives us a taste of what makes the series, and its new movie, so great.

The recent announcement and trailer for an anime of Taizen 5's Takopi's Original Sin highlights an issue that the manga industry has with leaning too much on specific mediums for adaptation. @jparkerdalton.bsky.social gives his thoughts on this industry problem

Hajime Isayama's return to the pages of Bessatsu Shonen Magazine should be cause for celebration but the actual end-product is something of a head scratcher. @jparkerdalton.bsky.social gives his thoughts on the bizarre collaboration one-shot.

Early access rhythm game MASH VP! Re:VISION gets a major update with a new play mode, new songs, and bug fixes, while simultaneously dropping a free demo on Steam to give newcomers a chance to try out a robust trial of the game before buying.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

The Cho Aniki series has long been the butt of many jokes due to it's outlandish and erotic visual stylings, but hidden just behind its wacky facade is a competent shoot 'em up that is clearly made with love.

I'm 10000% buying both pairs.

Now! (It’s just a shop this time, no fun theming)

EPO is required listening for any new fan of city pop, but her early work also stands as prime example of the scene's transitions between new music, city pop, and J-pop. @mbmelodies.bsky.social introduces the 6 albums which define this iconic period in her career.

I was literally having a conversation with a friend about this last night as we were scrolling the deals page, which is absolutely flooded with this garbage.

you have once again been greeted by holly jolly takenobu mitsuyoshi, repost or you will still never see burning rangers underneath your christmas tree

What happens when you combine the writer of Blue Lock, the artist from Prison School, and a dash of the plot from Gremlins? Why, one of the craziest, most subversive harem manga ever made of course! @jparkerdalton.bsky.social gives his review of Super Ball Girls

Randomly thinking about the absolutely awful karaoke version of Run DMC’s “Tricky” from the Round 1 karaoke machines in the US like a decade ago. I wonder if they still have it.

Last week we took a look at Miho Nakayama's music career in the wake of her passing, but we would be remiss if we didn't shine a light on her acting talent as well. @aliciahaddick.com reflects on Nayakama's iconic performance in Shunji Iwai's Love Letter.

Yasuomi Umetsu's iconic 2000s era OVAs KITE and MEZZO FORTE are getting some love courtesy of a new collaboration and pop-up shop from MESSA STORE, kicking off just after the new year.

The latest album from TEMPLIME, EMPT MILE, represents something of a sonic business card for the duo covering what they're all about. @mbmelodies.bsky.social spoke with member @kbsnk.bsky.social about the concept for the album, its creation, and the group's roots.

Never thought I would see a Captain EO reference in a canon Star Wars series but here we are, and I’m in total support of them doing more of it.

Last Christmas right into All I Want For Christmas is You at Nakano Sun Mall. They aren’t fucking around.

watching a handful of trailers after the fact instead of sitting through it all

What an absolutely massive waste of time

So how fast are the game awards going to kick the award winners off the stage during their acceptance speeches this year?

It's party time~

With the highly criticized (and for good reason) 4K "remaster" of Leiji Matsumoto & Daft Punk's Interstella 5555 hitting theaters this weekend, it's important to discuss why its legacy deserves significantly more respect.

Miho Nakayama was an incredible talent who was one of the biggest idols of her time while transcending the role as an actor and singer for decades. In light of her passing last week @mbmelodies.bsky.social has crafted an introduction to her music career in tribute.
