XIA – TARANTALLEGRA
Artist: XIA Mini-Album: TARANTALLEGRA Release Date: 05.15.2012 When my eternal bias XIA announced he was coming out with a solo project, I was ecstatic! He never let me down when it comes to music, always showcasing a very mature side of himself through his art and proving over and over again that he’s one of the … Read more
MISIA – SOUL QUEST
Artist: MISIA Album: SOUL QUEST Release Date: 07.27.2011 I’ve been in somewhat of an adaptation process ever since my J-Pop divas Utada Hikaru, Maki Goto, Koda Kumi and Shiina Ringo (to a smaller degree) all decided to go on breaks. Being someone who’s always on the lookout for great artists, old or new, that may catch my attention … Read more

Park) Single: 다른 사람 품에 안겨서 Release Date: 04.22.2012 Many of us know that our favorite Brown Eyed Girl, Ga-In, is hard at work getting her first full album ready for its debut and has been working in multiple little solo projects, like her rendition of 너만은 모르길, included in a celebratory album to … Read more

Harajuku Poupées: BENI
It’s impossible to be a BENI fan and not fall in love with her keen fashion sense which even transcends into her tasteful and elegant music! I was caught by surprise when I found out she was the voice behind the theme song for Kim Possible and it’s so clear how long she’s come after she left … Read more
BRIGHT – BRIGHT
Artist: BRIGHT Album: BRIGHT Release Date: 03.21.2012 I’ve never actually listened to BRIGHT, but I am familiar with one or two songs they have released in the past, though they weren’t enough to really bring me to listen to them. However, as the girls started to promote their new album, interestingly one that’s homonymous with the … Read more
4 Reasons Why Maki Goto’s G-Emotion FINAL is Worth Your 10000 Yen
I got my copy of Maki Goto‘s G-Emotion FINAL DVD on Monday and though I was expecting some more from the packaging (having thought that the price of the DVD came from expensive packaging), now that I’ve watched the DVDs, I could care less about that! I was very much confused when the price of the DVD … Read more
BENI – COVERS
Artist: BENI Album: COVERS Release Date: 03.21.2012 If there’s one type of release I’m crazy about it’s a good cover album! Especially if it’s Japanese, there’s just something about the flavor of J-Music that can spice up any song, regardless of the time period! When I read BENI was releasing a cover album I couldn’t be happier! … Read more

Breaking Down the Term J-Pop
Here on Plastic Candy, I always label Japanese music as J-Pop and Korean music as K-Pop for a matter of organization, and it had never crossed my mind that such labels may be offensive to some artists. In my iTunes library, I never use the genres J-Pop and/or K-Pop to label my music because I … Read more
6 active minutes: Sakura Station
With spring coming up on the northern hemisphere, I really wanted to celebrate this beautiful season with a brand new edition of 6 active minutes! In Japan, last spring wasn’t too much of a happy one due to the earthquake that struck the land of the rising sun and all the other problems that came with … Read more
Faithless But Longing
A lot has changed around Plastic Candy since the blog first started. I’m not sure how many of you have been following the blog since 2009 (and if you have, thank you so much!), but if you’re one of the people who have, I’m sure you remember back in the day how much of a TVXQ! … Read more
