Soma Saito reinvents himself yet again, shifting further away from darkness - the journey he started on his 3rd album "Fictions" - to a brighter and more carefree sound in "Nuance".

Anthos* "Echo" brings a bit of a futuristic, deep EDM sound and vibe that is executed almost to perfection. This is a fun entry in the ongoing “Human or Doll” CD series.

Anthos* "Species" is a fun, interesting dance-driven listen, further expanding on the world and storytelling in the Hana-Doll franchise.

Yuma Uchida's "Singularist" is charming and intense, bringing a powerful rock sound, chill, loungy vibes, and a warm and fun jazz sound that will keep you coming back for more.

Yuma Uchida's “Heartache” is a rock-solid single filled with a ton of addictive tunes and with so much energy that makes it a must-listen, especially if you want to have a big smile on your face.

UMake, a self-producing duo consisting of Kent Ito and Yoshiki Nakajima, will release a new mini-album in 2025.

Sir Vanity pushes their boundaries further, bringing one of the jazziest and loungiest EPs to date with the mature "Latitude".

Anthos* keeps its music groovy and fun with a ton of maturity while bringing a ton of new things to the table in "Q".

XlamV impresses with an out-of-the-box set of songs on their 3rd EP, "Landscape".

Shouta Aoi's "Collage" is, easily, one of the best albums of 2024. A show stealer of a statement mini-album that makes me want more and more from him.
