Taeyeon Make Her First Solo Japanese Debut With “Stay”

Taeyeon has released her First Japanese single entitled “Stay”. It came out digitally June 30th. Hopefully this will see a physical release. If not, look forward to more Japanese released by Taeyeon as she starts breaking into the Japanese market. “Stay” is a very good, mellow song. Highly recommend giving it a shot. For a First Japanese single it is very good and catchy. The music video is beautiful as well.

For those of you who are not familiar who Taeyeon is, she is a member of the popular Korean pop group, Girls Generation (Shoujo Jidai in Japan). She already has 1 studio album and 3 mini albums in Korea. No surprise she is going to try and conquer the Japanese market next.

Exile Previews Their Last Exile Friday Song!

With next Friday being the first Friday of the month, this means a brand new Exile Friday will drop. This Exile Friday, however, will be the last. It will feature their upcoming song “STEP UP”, which they dropped a preview of on Avex’s official YouTube channel.

The music video for “STEP UP” was produced by Tetsuya, who wanted it to have a specific theme of “POP, COLORFUL, CATCHY” throughout. He executed this theme by utilizing 1980s style animation portraying ’80s and ’90s era dances such as “Running Man”, “Party Machine”, and a very familiar “Choo Choo Train” dance. Such animations are shown alongside three Exile members.

The Sterotypes--along with members Shokichi and Jay’ed--produced the song. They wanted to incorporate the ’80s style “New Jack Swing”
