Monthly Review: Toshiki Masuda’s “Midnight Dancer” impresses, everybody loves IDOLiSH7’s “Opus” and more

Toshiki Masuda ended up impressing a lot of people with “Midnight Dancer” and it seems he may be on route for his best ever result at Oricon’s Weekly Singles chart. IDOLiSH7’s “Opus” is everyone’s favorite album this month.

The first episode of the new video feature on The Hand That Feeds HQ’s YouTube channel is out!

Monthly Review is, as the name says, a monthly feature in which I find yet another excuse to talk about male seiyuu music and 2D groups.

This is a feature in which I get on camera covering the most impressive/buzzworthy releases in any given month – and hidden gems that not many people may end up paying attention to -, counting with your participation as well in all 4 corners:

• Best of the month (3 best/buzzworthy/gems of every given month as picked by me + 3 suggested by THTFHQ readers
• Monthly Choice (3 CD suggestions by me – regardless of when the CDs were released – and 3 suggestions by THTFHQ readers)
• Music in the Horizon (a look at next month’s releases – it mixes my and your comments on upcoming releases)
• Ask Vanessa* (ask me anything about male seiyuu or 2D music)

*Title subject to change, if you have suggestions for a title for this section, do leave those in the comments

This month’s episode is all about the music released in January 2022.

Toshiki Masuda ended up impressing a lot of people with “Midnight Dancer” and it seems he may be on route for his best ever result at Oricon’s Weekly Singles chart. IDOLiSH7‘s “Opus” is everyone’s favorite album this month.

Additionally, most of you are insanely excited for Soma Saito‘s new EP release – his first CD release in 1 year and 1 month – “my beautiful valentine” as well as GYROAXIA‘s “Freestyle“.

These and more thoughts/comments can be found in the 1-hour episode that just dropped on the channel and that you can find in this article as well.
