It’s not every day they play J-Pop on Swedish television. The other day I watched a Swedish game show called På Spåret (translates into something like “on the right track”), where they show a train running and the contestants are supposed to guess where the train is heading. This time it was heading to Osaka, Japan. When they showed some footage from Osaka for the questions they played Laugh Away by YUI and Real Me by Ayumi Hamasaki

Also, I just watched the Hugh Grant movie Music and Lyrics, and I noticed that Cora’s first song (the one she’s making a video for at the beginning) has the exact same intro and ending as BoA’s song Did Ya. Must be the same composer or sampled from the same place.

Our beloved YUI composed this song for Stereopony.

BoA’s latest Japanese song Possibility from her upcoming album Identity.

Great song along the same line as Eien.

This music video won’t be included on the bonus DVD that comes with Identity, though. If you want this video on DVD you’ll have to get BoA the LIVE 2009 X’mas, which will be out in March.

This song by Thelma Aoyama and SOL (Tae-yang) from Big Bang was requested by valentina a while back.

I’ve listened a bit to Thelma Aoyama before. She has some nice songs.

The Japanese version of Everlasting (below) is pretty much the same as the Korean version that I posted before, but this one is straight from DVD, so the quality is higher.

Gloria is, as you surely know, YUI’s upcoming single. I really like this song. It’s very uplifting.

This video ties into the previous Summer Song and Laugh Away videos and also has the same actors - Kento Hayashi and Anri Okamoto.

PS. YUI is the coolest

These are the official wallpapers (1280×1024) of YUI’s new single Gloria (a very nice song).

The single will be released on January 20th (which just happens to be somebody’s birthday ).

Sorry for not posting the music video yet, but the ones I’ve found have been of pretty poor quality and I prefer to wait until I have something with higher quality.

Just a quick post to let you know that BoA is releasing a new Japanese album in February.

The album is called Identity. The track list is not known yet, but Mamoritai ~White wishes~ and Bump Bump will be on the album.

Dance edit of Eien.
