Since its almost a new month, who are your favourite artists this month & what tracks do you recommend for others?

Since I have officially deleted twitter at the start of this month, I'm out of the loop with what current artists some are listening to, although I follow some people back when I knew them on Vlive, I wondered what people here are listening to the most recently.

I'm trying to get into more Western Music, and really came to like David Hugo's songs and Wallows, and also The Wrecks.

What about you?

• BE:FIRST is a Japanese boygroup. They are signed to the company of one of Japan's most famous rappers called SKY-HI and the company is called BMSG. They debuted in 2021 and are now one of the most popular boygroups in Japan (they released the 3rd most famous song in Japan this year (as of a study where 10.000 Japanese people got asked) and also seem to have a bunch foreign fans since they won as "Best Asian Act" on the MTV EMA this year)
• MAZZEL is a Japanese boygroup. They are also signed with BMSG and they debuted in 2023 with 8 members. I allready also do have my fave members in the group which are Naoya, Hayato, Seito and Ryuki
• JO1 is the winner group of Produce 101 Japan season 1 in 2019 and debuted in 2020 and are now one of the most popular boygroups in Japan and belong to the company Lapone Entertainment that is owned by Mnet
• INI is the winner group of the 2nd season from Produce 101 Japan and debuted in 2021, they are also signed to Lapone. They funny enough beat JO1 in terms of popularity in Japan by now which is odd to me since JO1 makes a small bit more general public friendly music since INI has way more "noise" music xD
• BUDDiiS is a JPop boygroup under EBiDAN and Stardust Records. I found them randomly when some months ago someone was using their song on a TikTok I watched and I thought the song that was used sounded like a Japanese KPop-song, like it gave me TXT vibes (the song that was used btw was their song "Magic") and now I can't stop listening to their music. They btw debuted in 2021 with 11 member but are now reduced to being just 10 (of which 2 are also siblings)
• Reol is a female artist from Japan, she makes music for over 10 years now and first was suposed to be a band instead of just a soloist, she also felt sorry at one point when she did music and never showed herself till she released her first MV in 2016 cause back than she had some privacy issues, saying she didn't felt to upload pics or videos of herself cause she said she thought its not nessesary since people post too much of themself on the web

And this is apparently my Top10 songs xD

• Takanori Iwata is member of the JPop-group Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE, he is also working as model (mostly for Louis Vuitton) and actor , he isn't a singer in his group so I didn't knew he can sing till he started to release his own music in 2021
• NCT NEW TEAM is the new NCT group from SM that is supposed to be their Japanese one, they are pre-debut at the moment.
• RIIZE is the last boygroup that SM debuted this year (and SM is about to ruin them allready since they removed Seunghan)
• ZEROBASONE is the winner group of the survival show BOYS PLANET that aired in 2023 and they seem to be the most hyped male debut of the year
• APOKI is a female singer I discovered earlier this year when she was featured on a song of a Japanese girlgroup. She is a KPop-singer and hides herself behind a fictional character of a girl x bunny figure
• GreatGuys is a more underrated boygroup that if I'm not mistaken debuted in 2018. I'm a bit sad for how little music they release cause it's mostly no more than 3-4 songs a year
• YongYong is a female artist from Korea, I only found her when Spotify recommended this song with Giuk to me since I listen to Giuk's music and his band ONEWE

• Novel Core is a Pop-rap artist from Japan, also signed to the company of the Japanese rapper SKY-HI, I do like the style of music he does
• A.C.E is my ulti KPop-group. I was so happy when they announced to make more music this year after not making music in over 2 years but they do it without their youngest member since Chan is still in the army
• Noa is a Japanese vocalist. I do like his music a lot and also have one of his CDs. His music sounds a lot KPop-influenced since, as he said some years back, he does the music that he makes like this cause he was a lil bit mad on how he felt treated when he used to be a trainee under YG like he was just a bit mad that he didn't become a KPop-idol (and he once even blamed it on Treasure lol oop)
• Vicke Blanka is a Japanese artist who can sing very high toned. I found his music many years ago randomly on YT while most people may only know him as "the dude who made famous anime OSTs" but I found him trought a song that wasn't even for any anime xD
• Nissy is a popular vocalist in Japan, he was member of the CO-ED group AAA from 2005-2015 (The rapper SKY-HI that I mentioned before also used to be in AAA) and I really like the style of music he does.
• LIL LEAUGE and WOLF HOWL HARMONY are 2 boygroups (of 4 groups) who debuted this year as part of the supergroup EXILE TRIBE, they are also the most famous debuted artists of 2023 in Japan (besides the boygroup DXTEEN) and won some awards as best new artists
• iScream is a girlgroup, they are signed to the same company as the EXILE TRIBE groups (LDH Records) and are currently one of my most favourite girlgroups (I randomly do only like grilgroups from LDH at the moment lol)

Ha that's okay, I find Jpop interesting (like EXILE Tribe) where they have different sub units and such. Jpop is such a huge industry with so much music its understandable to not only follow one artist.

Great comment and suggestions!

This month I've mostly been listening to soundtracks (bgm while studying for finals lol), I also finally got around to doing a deep dive into seventeen's discography. I liked my my, headliner, circles, heaven's cloud, anyone, crush, smileflower, change up, I don't understand but I luv u, lie again and all my love. I already knew most of their singles so I'm not counting those

Honestly though some soundtracks that have been released this year have been really good so I totally get that. Sometimes because of netflix I find songs I like (that were played in the background, etc).

I always find it interesting to hear others opinions and music tastes

ive been listening to these :

i wouldn't know what songs to recommend specifically though

That's okay, sometimes artists have really good songs and its hard to choose 😊
