Some dreams start with a plan. Others start with refusing to give up. For Black Clover 2nd Season, ONE OR EIGHT turns that idea into “Yellow Brick Road,” a new song built around the same determination that has kept Asta moving forward. ONE OR EIGHT has been building its own path around that same mentality since making its debut in August 2024. The eight-member group—MIZUKI, NEO, REIA, RYOTA, SOUMA, TAKERU, TSUBASA, and YUGA—takes its name from the Japanese phrase “ichi ka bac

What happens when Awich, CHICO CARLITO, ONE OK ROCK, and Paledusk end up on the same song? YAO’s second single, “FOR OKINAWA,” released September 4, bringing four distinct voices from Japanese music together around a song rooted in Okinawa, its history, and the importance of understanding perspectives beyond our own. YAO is a newly formed Japanese music collective bringing together artists from very different corners of the Japanese music scene. Awich and CHICO CARLITO are bo

On September 1, Number_i stepped onto the field at Dodger Stadium for a moment that carried meaning well beyond the baseball game itself. Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi were invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers game, giving the Japanese trio another memorable introduction to American audiences. Formed in 2024, Number_i brings together Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi, three artists who entered a new chapter of their careers

Keina Suda does not make darkness particularly difficult to listen to. On “BLACK,” his newest single and latest preview of the upcoming album LOVE HATE, heavy ideas about existence, time, life, and death are wrapped inside a track that is sharp, melodic, and surprisingly easy to keep playing. For listeners who have followed Suda’s work for years, his ability to turn complicated emotions into something immediately memorable is familiar. Before becoming known primarily as a sin

WAYF BOYS released their second single, “SWAG,” on August 28, following their August 7 debut with “WAYF BOYS DO.” Bringing together Andrew, Junmyeong, Anderson, Samuel, and Ryan, the new track settles into a smooth blend of R&B and hip-hop while giving the five members more room to show what happens when their different musical backgrounds meet. The five members each came to WAYF BOYS through their own paths in music. Lee Junmyeong trained with YG Entertainment, Starship Ente

Philadelphia underground rap has met one of Japan’s most recognizable virtual performers? slayr and Hatsune Miku have released “Light,” a high-energy collaboration that brings drum and bass, rap, electronic production, and Vocaloid culture together without trying to make any of those pieces feel separate. The new single also brings Japanese artist XAMIYA and Vocaloid producer picco into the mix, creating a track that feels very much at home in the space where internet culture

TAEMIN is coming back to North America.

For fans who have been waiting to see TAEMIN bring his performanc

NCT 127 celebrated their 10-year anniversary with several changes, and BLINGY reflects the aspects that have changed as well as those that have remained the same. Their music has always been willing to get loud, strange, aggressive, sentimental, or all four within the same album, and BLINGY is no different. On the surface, the seventh full-length album is packed with the kind of hard-hitting production that NCTzens have come to expect, but underneath the distorted synths, hea

Twenty years of ONE OK ROCK is a lot of music to fit onto one record, but ONE OK ROCK: A DECADE OF GREATEST HITS is taking on the challenge with 18 tracks that trace some of the band's biggest moments while leaving room for something completely new. Arriving October 30 via Fueled by Ramen/Atlantic Records, the collection will feature the brand-new song “Fever” alongside fan favorites spanning the band's international rise and most recent era. Formed in Tokyo in 2005, ONE OK R

Sometimes losing yourself does not happen all at once. It can happen quietly, somewhere between scrolling through everyone else’s lives, comparing where you are to where you think you should be, and trying so hard to keep up that you forget what you actually wanted in the first place. LIL LEAGUE’s “Boku wo Sagashiteta” sits in that uncomfortable space, turning the feeling of searching for yourself into a ballad that feels less like an answer and more like finally being given

Déjà vu is that strange little feeling of familiarity that catches you off guard: the sense that you have been somewhere before, heard something before, or lived through a moment that is happening for the very first time. SOTA HANAMURA and Airi Suzuki capture that same contradiction in "Dejavu,” a song built around two people who already know each other but sound as though they are meeting in this musical space for the first time. The friendship between SOTA and Airi develope

Fans are finally getting the chance to hear the captain slow things down. Known for the confidence, edge, and unmistakable presence HONGJOONG brings to ATEEZ, “ENOuGH” reveals a side of him that feels much closer to a quiet conversation. His new collaboration with Bazzi settles into that feeling beautifully, creating a song about finally finding the person who makes all that waiting feel worth it. Rather than trying to overwhelm listeners, “ENOuGH” takes its time, letting the

There is something almost unfair about the way ENHYPEN makes danger feel romantic. The group has spent years building a world where love rarely comes without consequences, and with their eighth mini album, THE SIN : BLISS, that story takes another turn. Following THE SIN : VANISH, the latest chapter finds two lovers already on the run after breaking the ultimate taboo of vampire society. They know what they have done. They know what is waiting for them. And somehow, in the mi

For ONE OR EIGHT, EN-GÏNE is more than a collection of six songs.
