Listening to some music. The Algorithm Overlords surfaced this band for me, and I clicked on them because, hey, as a math person, I agree that i is a number:

...and I kinda like 'em!
FWIW, other Japanese bands that I like and think you should check out: Otokobe Beaver; ATARASHII GAKKO (I think all-caps is mandatory?), Wanima, and...some others I don't recall at the moment.
I was wondering why there was a midnight KST MV drop..... I forgot this was a JP track lol

It's Monday so it's time for #MoodMusicMonday! Today's mood is "moderate".
Post a song/songs that you think fit "moderate"!
There are no wrong answers, it's just an excuse to post music! It can be a song about moderation, or a song that's moderate in some way musically, or however else you want to interpret it.
Remember to include the hashtag #MoodMusicMonday and the mood "moderate".
Fun jpop, even though the group's name makes me think I am going to be served up some kind of metal!

Alright, let's do this.... Thread of videos from the yama concert with my brother and @ojou last night, incoming.
Didn't I used to post kpop on here?
MISAMO - Funny Valentine
Well, @ojou came in BIG with the clutch move today: wanted to see yama live but it required a Japanese phone number, and phone (eTickets only). He answered the call and holy shit I'm so thankful for it because this concert was AMAZING.
Even got a good laugh from nearby audience when, during a brief downtime, I yelled out "この外人はヤマが大好きだ" ("Kono gaijin wa yama ga daisuki" - "This foreigner loves yama!")
Videos will be uploaded when I'm back on wifi, but here's a pic to whet your appetites :D
EDIT: Also I should add he's just a cool dude. Had dinner after, chatted a bunch, shared his knowledge of Japan, and more. Tonight was just all around fantastic.
This week's JMusic Friday has a theme of Summertime!
A bit early, but all right 
Here's a great one.
Hanabie - Be The Gal (Early Summer Version) https://song.link/us/i/1695679182
It's Music Women Wednesday and Elsee dropped a new track entitled "Top it All" https://song.link/us/i/1804362165
So, my choice was made for me.
Tune Tuesday time, and going with some glorious city pop this week as the theme is Wind Music.
Piper "Summer Breeze"
It's Monday so it's time for #MoodMusicMonday! Today's mood is "smitten".
Post a song/songs that you think fit "smitten"!

I thought of this before any KPop and it's one of my favourite Japanese tracks from the last few years.The bass line, the vibe, it's so good, and, keeping with the theme, the video features a very prominent amusement park ride.

(P.S. The DAZBEE cover of this is also very good).

Like I could let my birthday pass without posting this as a bonus. 
Them's my boys!
I posted this track a few weeks back in the context of the anime "The Weathering Continent." Turns out its just one of the tracks from this beautiful album by Akino Arai:
