“Mada Kimi wa Shiranai MY PRETTIEST GIRL” by Nissy

With the release of Nissy’s newest album “HOCUS POCUS 3”, I recently purchased his Nissy Entertainment 5th Anniversary Best album and have been listening to it non stop. “Mada Kimi wa Shiranai MY PRETTIEST GIRL” is my favorite song by him and I’ve had it on repeat for months. Not only does this track have a catchy fun beat to it that makes you want to get up and dance, but the lyrics pull you in as well. The lyrics are a big part of what did it for me as its a love song; if I would have heard this song before my wedding, I would have included this in my reception playlist. Nissy’s voice is sultry, smooth, and enticing, making you want to consistently listen to this track. “Mada Kimi wa Shiranai MY PRETTIEST GIRL” has been the highlight of my month and I am looking forward to listening to HOCUS POCUS 3 and basking in Nissy’s beautiful voice.

“Nonfiction” by Ayumi Hamasaki

Ayumi Hamasaki is back with a new digital single and such a perfect return. “Nonfiction” is a dance track with a electronic vibe to it, bringing back memories of her NEXT LEVEL and Colours days. Despite the composition having a more electronica feeling, Ayu incorporates her spin on it by adding a theatrical flare. Ayu’s vocals match perfectly with the beat and leaving you wanting more tracks like this. Not to mention, the lyrics are on point especially with everything going on in the media nowadays. “Nonfiction” is also the perfect track leading into summer with its upbeat style making for a great summer dance track.

“Everything” by Happiness

It has been a bit since I’ve heard any new music from the dance and vocal unit, Happiness. The last new track I heard was “Chao Chao” in 2019; since then I’ve been re-listening to all their older music. I noticed that they released a new track called “Everything” in February and I have been addicted to it. It’s an upbeat dance track that is also very vocal heavy. The girls of Happiness come together and show they are a force to be reckoned with as “Everything” gives you exactly what you want and expect - everything and more. From strong vocals to a dance composition to a memorable chorus and lyrics. I’ve had the chorus stuck in my head for this past week, right now Happiness is my “Everything”. Looking forward to hearing what Happiness will release next.

“Psycho” by May J. feat. Yayoi Daimon

May' J’s latest album Silver Lining came out in December 2021, however, I’m finally getting around to listening to it. I was glad to see that “Psycho" feat. Yayoi Daimon got a music video that just released as this track deserves. “Psycho” reminds me of May J’s early days with her Baby Girl album as it has the R&B/Hip-hop feel to it. This is a track you can bop to on the dance floor or you can just relax and take it the vibes. The composition has a chill hip hop vibe to it and Yayoi Daimon’s rap fits perfectly right into this track. This track has a catchy beat, lyrics, and is a fun track. I’d love to see May J. and Yayoi Daimon do future collaborations.

Soleil feat. yonkey by Miyuna

Miyuna’s music has struck me for a while, especially after covering her for Music Corner recently. Miyuna’s track “Soleil” feat. yonkey is the perfect way to bring in the summer with its refreshing composition, flavorful vocals, and fun lyrics. “Soleil” feat yonkey has a nice summer vibe that makes you feel like you are sitting along the pooliside or basking in the beach sun. I’ve had this song on repeat since I heard it as its helped me get into the summer spirit; it just has this upbeat yet relaxing vibe that chills you out on a hot summer day.
