With Summer officially here and turning up the heat, it's that time of the month for June’s Ongaku Go! We at OTY would like our readers to know what was filling our ears for the past month. Each track is available across all digital music streaming platforms, with Apple Music featured on this site, along with our Spotify playlist here!

“All Mine” by iScream

So, I decided to check out the latest single by music corner alumni iScream. I really enjoyed my time with “All Mine”. It has a catchy beat, which is one of my biggest weaknesses. I like the way this song flows, and have a lot of fun with this track. Also, when we covered iScream I was going through a difficult time in my life, which allowed me to rediscover the group and I’ve been digging their album that dropped last year as well.

“Mask in Love” by Kenya Fujita

Kenya Fujita is a recent discovery I made, and I’ve got to say, I think this guy is going to go places. “Mask in Love” is done in more of the American 90’s style R&B which is a genre that really enjoy. “Mask in Love” is masterfully sung with finger-snapping, which acts as the percussion line for the song for the first verse. I’m going to be keeping a close eye on Kenya Fujita because I’m excited to see what he does next.

“BAKU BAKU” BY PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE

PSYCHIC FEVER is one of the latest groups from EXILE TRIBE. This is the second time this year they have made my Ongaku Go. I loved their “ForEVER” release in March, but recently they released PSYCHIC FILE 1. While I’m enjoying the entire album, the leading track is “BAKU BAKU” and I’ve been jamming to this awesome song on repeat. There is something fun about this song, plus it keeps getting stuck in my head. “ForEVER” was a fantastic ballad but “BAKU BAKU” is that upbeat music that I have a weak spot for. I’m turning into a big fan of these guys, and can’t wait to see what they do next.

“zOne” by Akira Takano

I added Akira Takano to my favorite artists' lists on Apple Music, and I was greeted this past month with his latest single “zOne”. I’ve been having a ton of fun with this release being a dance-heavy track. I’ve been surprised by how much I’m really enjoying this release. The song, while being a bit of a slower beat, is a lot of fun and this has been a go-to for me all month. I’ve been feeling the zone with this one.

“Start Over” by THE BEAT GARDEN

THE BEAT GARDEN has dropped their latest album, Bell, and I’ve been enjoying my time with this album. The lead track has left a deep impression on me. I really like the melody of this song, which has some amazing vocals, plus a great composition. My favorite part of the song is the bridge, which builds to this amazing crescendo and sounds amazing. Overall, Bell is a great release and this has been so much fun getting to enjoy this group again.
