Top 10 Jpop and Kpop Songs of 2015
7th year in a row! Wow! Fantastic Baby.
Again, I tried to keep up with it from the beginning but some time around spring and summer I slacked off. So many singles from AAA for their 10th year anniversary. I tried to pick one single per group. For 2016, I'm really going to keep up and watch the videos as they come out.
AAA "Aishiteru no ni, Aisenai"
Great acting in this pv and everyone gets plenty of time to sing. Such heartache.
Amber "Beautiful"
Didn't know Amber could sing because of her usual rapping. Amazing song with a great message.
Arashi "Sakura"
My kind of Arashi song. I love the dreary pv marked by the dark outfits and barren landscape.
BIGBANG "We Like 2 Party"
A different song from their usual. The pv is on softer side and shows their goofy sides. A much simpler pv compared to their usual extravagance.
Cross Gene "Play With Me"
Shin reminds me of L. Shot in an asylum with three versions. Very catchy tune as usual. They really look crazy.
Hey!Say!JUMP "Chau#"
Purple prince outfits to start off followed by color coordinated worker outfits. Typical Johnny's. Super upbeat song with some kids shouting. Special effects and colorful set. LOL, a song with a hashtag in it.
KisMyFT2 "Kiss Damashii"
Nice visuals in the music video with lots of metal spikes and black/white theme, tons of microphones and name signs. I liked this single better than "AAO". Not much from KMF2 in 2015 compared to previous years.
Miura Ryosuke "Pearl"
There's a cat in the pv. No further explanation necessary. Just kidding, a nice ballad and I can't think of too many guys who look so great waking up from bed.
U-KISS "Action"
SUPER cute pv! I love the colorful outfits and setting. The positive message and cute dance moves remind me of "One Of You". Love it! I especially enjoy that everyone sings and I gasped when Kevin first appeared. The cuteness makes my heart twinge.
x4 "Killing Me"
Of course it was filmed in NYC. Nice effort put forth by Yuya's new group. Every member has got their own talents. At first I was against this because I didn't want to lose Yuya as a solo artist, but they are growing on me.

CROSS GENE "sHi-tai!"
