Belle and Sebastian lean toward politics and away from twee on newest album
Belle and Sebastian are headed back to Japan, but are not quite as you remember them. For nearly 20 years the Glasgow indie darlings have been pigeonholed as producers of twee, lovelorn songs for corduroy-clad outcasts, but with their newly released ninth album, that stereotype is in danger of looking outdated: "Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance" is as concerned with the dance floor as it is the state of the world in which it was conceived.

E-Girls "E.G. Time"
Idol group E-Girls have a knack for covers. On last year's "Colorful Pop," they opened with a song borrowing the main synthesizer line from Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Rydeen" before later transforming Japanese disco tunes and Bananarama singles into tightly crafted blasts of electro-pop. It made for one of 2014's biggest J-pop surprises, but didn't assert anything about the group beyond their name being attached to some catchy tracks.

Girls' Generation "Love & Peace"
K-pop's golden days in Japan are over. The time when Korean groups could top the Oricon charts and (more importantly) monopolize media coverage is now a memory, in part due to an oversaturation of new acts. K-pop remains a strong niche market, though, even if the hallyu hype has fizzled out. Some groups continue releasing Japanese material as strong as anything released at home.
