that summer jpop playlist that screams "it's friday, let's party"!
While the rest of the world is on summer break and 3/4ths of the world's population is about to tune into the World Cup's opening ceremony---I wish I could be but alas, it seems it'll be starting here at 2:15 a.m. tomorrow within the Philippines' timezone and I might be sound asleep by then unless I take a quick nap as early as now...---in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I present to you, guys, what currently comprises my summer jpop playlist. Yep, it does seem to scream "It's Friday, let's party!" It's devoid of JE and cutesy Jidol music, too, well perhaps save for some Lead which is technically considered a '90s era idol group (Summer Madness era) but I beg to differ. Lead along with W~inds. and Flame (now renamed as Emalf---see: their individual members' and staff's Twitters) are actually Jboybands of the '90s rather than Jidol groups made of purely males. I only ever consider JE acts and those from groups like Morning Musume, AKB48, NMB48 and etc. as the idol groups. I'm not fond of idol groups and their music, unfortunately, so I only give you the grooviest dance tunes I can find from the artists and bands I normally listen to.
I apologize they contain only like, 8 artists of the r&b, urban, hiphop + EDM and techno music type. I can't seem to find anything else like them on my itunes and music folders or anywhere else unless there are others you might like to recommend that I don't know of? And it kind of sucks that I can't embed a player here because most of them seem to exclude Jpop. :( Or I have yet to find one that offers some good Jpop stuff, preferably all of the artists in this playlist I've just crafted.
Anyway, enjoy them while I, uh, plot plausible action on how I can get to watch the World Cup's Opening Ceremony later around 2:15 in the very early morning of Friday. My next mission is to come up with a combination of western pop and western indie music playlist for the same season I love so much: summer. Stay tuned until then. Ellie Goulding will likely take center stage there. I can't help it, I'm addicted.
