From The Corners: Ayumiko’s “Dancing Darkness”
ByPatrick St. Michel March 12, 2018

Ayumiko has popped up on several songs by electronic artists that we’ve covered in recent times, but “Dancing Darkness” seems like a good entry point into her own sound. The melancholy atmosphere and her use of anime visuals puts her in similar territory to young artists such as Sleet Mage and Gokou Kuyt, but she…

New Xinlisupreme: “J-Pop”
ByPatrick St. Michel November 7, 2019

So far in 2019, there have been two prominent J-pop songs about J-pop itself, at least to some degrees. Teenager SASUKE practically gives the industry an entire pep talk with a song going to great lengths to tell you J-pop will never end (raising the stakes significantly with a line about how “Japanese people will…

Two Views Of The Same Pop: Jan Flu’s Jan Flu
ByPatrick St. Michel January 25, 2017

Here are my top three blogging dilemmas (if things so ultimately trivial warrant that title): 1. Should albums and singles released via Apple Music or other streaming services get on here? 2.

ByPatrick St. Michel June 26, 2012

These kids don’t mess around – despite TALON and Young Agings releasing a debut split EP like two weeks ago on the fledgling Fantasing label, neither waited very long to hook back up and put together another EP, this one dubbed Seasons Split. Then again, both band’s approach to music allows for a quick turnaround…

Blurry Eyed: Zombie-Chang’s “Semete Kanashii Tokiniwa”
ByPatrick St. Michel January 18, 2016

The go-to trick is to make a peppy sounding song concealing dark lyrics, or at least a few uneasy details among the poppy touches. Tokyo’s Zombie-Chang bobs the other way — her music can sound creepy and exhausted, but the person at the front of every track sounds like she’s having a blast, and that…
