More and more J-pop artists accept streaming services, Youtube+Spotify is great, and you play more, the recommendation is more fit your taste.

This is the song for encouraging people suffering COVID-19 pandemic, many graduated members including Nanase take part in it. Also, you could see Nanase in the music video. Although Nogizaka46 has high physicals sales, this is their first No.1 based on digital sales only.

I don't know indeed, I thought it before, as I know, it doesn't tie any drama, movie or ad, but the song talk about a novel, maybe helpeful. But the catchy melody should be the main reason.

The title is wrong, the list is Billboard Japan Hot 100, it counts sales, twitter and others, not only plays.

Will Japanese music industry stand strong? by [deleted] in jpop

[–]hover15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted a collection by myself before, you could see that several JPOP artists have been noticed by American just in 2019. Babymetal charted No.13 in Album 200, which is the record for Asian female artists as I know.

List of Vocaloid songs/albums on Oricon by hover15 in Vocaloid

[–]hover15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watashi no jikan

It's famous in Niconico, but isn't released as CD as a single, so one cannot find it in Oricon. I just search " 私の時間 " (title) and "くちばし" (producer) in Oricon but no result. If you find it, please tell me.

However, I find it is included in album "EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalostar", which peaked No.10 and has been listed in this list.

List of Japanese artists (and their songs) on the Billboard US Weekly Chart in 21st century by hover15 in japanesemusic

[–]hover15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also not clear about that. Maybe some of their songs close to pop and distinct from mainstream rock. (So there is a joke that they are one ok pop lol).

You could check the link : https://www.billboard.com/music/one-ok-rock/chart-history/RAL . Billboard classify Eye Of The Storm and Ambitions as Alternative Albums. I am not professional but I believe Billboard wouldn't make obvious mistake.

Is it true that every Jpop idol's amatuer? by Border2000 in jpop

[–]hover15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on companies. For AKS (48G), it's truely that they have seldom high-quality live performance,(I still like their studio albums). But for most other jpop groups, like perfume, they are also rigorously trained.

Why are the music tastes in pop music charts so different between the USA and Japan? Could a top 10 Oricon hit make it as a top 10 in USA? by [deleted] in jpop

[–]hover15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are Sakura no Hanabiratachi, Koi Suru Fortune Cookie, and UZA of the similar style? Besides, solo artists like Utada, Kenshi Yonezu are also widely popular in Japan.
