That Crayon Pop reign just won’t let up! After taking Korea by storm with a string of non-charting flop hits, Crayon Pop have now officially conquered the Japanese market, selling out tickets to their Japanese mini-concert in a mere hour.
The general consensus amongst most K-poppers is that Girls’ Generation‘s Japanese albums trump their Korean ones. I don’t necessarily agree as I enjoy both for different reasons, but I get why people feel that way — compared to their Korean albums, SNSD’s J-pop is more grown-up and electronic, and I imagine that when they eventually [...]
It’s only been a few months, but it feels like ten phucking years since Perfume released a new single.

The single recently became the group’s first N0. 1 on the Oricon chart, reaching the top with ease earlier this [...]
Following the record-breaking No. 1 debut of their new compilation album, LOVE THE WORLD, the perfect Perfume have brought their unique style to the pages of Vogue Japan.
Bonkers Harajuku princess Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is back with another one of her wonderfully weird singles.
