6th Station ~Other Bands for H!P Fans~

[Denki]

Dahyun's rap part is so out of place.

[Moh]

Yeah, it is out of place. Otherwise it's a pretty good follow-up to "FANCY"! And I love that Chaeyoung actually got to sing for once.
I'm glad Mina is sitting out the promotions.

[Moh]

I have no idea what Elements Garden or Nana Mizuki sound like off the top of my head, but this sounds alright.

Lemme just take this opportunity to post my personal fave Nana tracks... These are a mix of MVs and lives, but her lives are really good.

ETERNAL BLAZE


Shin'ai


Synchrogazer


Suiren


Kindan no Resistance


BRAVE PHOENIX (my ultimate favorite!!)

There's a few older MVs on her channel but they're for ~premium~ music subscribers only.
With 39 singles, 3 best-of albums, and soon to be 13 studio albums, she has a very extensive discography.

Live video for BABYMETAL's "Shanti Shanti Shanti"…



No Riho in this; like the previous videos for "PA PA YA!!" and "Elevator Girl", they used the June 29 live at Yokohama Arena featuring Kano Fujihara.

Sorry to say I'm not feeling this one. It's not mind-blowing like "PA PA YA!!" is, and it's not poppy fun like "Elevator Girl" is.

Non-H!P/UF performances that I especially enjoyed from the ASH 2019 AUTUMN ACT.

FUKUYAMA A Class - "Suki to Iwasetai" (IZ*ONE)

Theatrical Course - @ 11:33 "How Far I'll Go" (Moana)

mofmof - "Doraemon" & "Hiroshima VOICE" (I didn't even realize they were from ASH. I haven't had 5 hours to watch the finale yet so I don't know if they placed, but they competed in the Aidorisai ~Idol Matsuri~ competition this year.)

Spoiler: show

fwaiya wha kusu - "Hanabi (Remember Me)" (OH MY GIRL)

Spoiler: show

Kuwahara Ayana - "Daisuki" (Inoue Sonoko)

frederic - VISION


GIRLFRIEND's latest cover, Sakanaction's "Aruku Around":

[Zunu]

1) I’ll give Frederic credit for striking a good balance there between sounding too much like Oddloop and not sounding enough like Oddloop.

2) The shared guitar trick was pretty smooth by itself, but then about halfway through the Girlfriend clip it hit me they were doing that in a single take. Very nice

So, two of my artists dropped videos almost simultaneously, and now I can’t make up my mind whether I prefer Poppy’s or Doja Cat’s. [spoiler cos title NSFW]

LIMESODA is back with a new song that I think is pretty great:


They added Jangmi (black hair) in February, then added a member named Teeny in June. Teeny left last month before this comeback was announced.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That's probably one of the most enjoyable Kpop songs I've heard recently.
