EP.196 - Let's talk about Yuma Uchida's 3rd album "Y"
After teasing his fans with a 5th anniversary digital single series and showcasing his versatility as a singer and performer across various - contrasting - music genres, Yuma Uchida released his 3rd album "Y" by the end of 2023.
This album, although not necessarily filled with new songs, encapsulates an important chapter in Yuma Uchida's solo career.
It shows growth in music format, with Uchida revisiting his debut days' feelings up until his recently upgraded "mature" vibe as an artist.

EP.195 - Let's talk about Shunichi Toki's mini-album "Another Birthday"
"Another Birthday" currently sits as Toki's best mini-album given how cohesive - yes, even while changing music genres - and high quality it is.
Every single song works well within this mini-album but also as a standalone, which attests to the quality and variety of songs you get in this release.
From Latin Jazz to rock, pop, and R&B, it seems that Shunichi Toki was determined to showcase just how versatile and amazing a singer he is.
"Another Birthday" is a flawless - yes, you read well - mini-album coming from Shunichi Toki.
If you haven't checked it yet, this is your chance to give it a listen. It is worth it.

EP.194 - Let’s talk about Loulou*di's sorrowful and dark CD "DÈJÁ VU"
In "DÉJÀ VU", the group outdoes itself yet again.
This is a release that, in comparison to previous ones - and without checking the drama tracks - is brighter in comparison with the pure darkness of "ARK" or "NOTHING".
This brightness however is only apparent. Words contradict instrumentals, there are underlying tones going on, especially in "Invisible Cross", that hint at destruction and sorrow, and "Another Liar" may seem like an interesting iteration to R&B but it is still quite dark.
Darkness, beautiful darkness is something that Loulou*di has excelled in and continues to show their cards in. When you listen to this album, you will have an uncanny feeling of having listened to these stories and feelings before however, you never did. Loulou*di did take you on an awesome journey with "DÈJÁ VU", the best CD Loulou*di has released so far.
In this unscripted episode, you and I will revisit - or visit, if it is your first time - this outstanding album.
