We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback! This is where we look back on what topped the charts this week 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.
avex’s official YouTube channel has uploaded the debut single for their latest act, Emiko Suzuki.
Emiko was born on May 16th, 1999 and was exposed to music from a very early age. As her family were enthusiasts, they naturally encouraged her to embrace the craft and by age 7 Emiko was already creating her own compositions and writing lyrics.
In 2015 during her first year of high school she won the vocal prize in the “National Gospel Contest”. The following year she appeared on the TV Asahi television show “The Mozart” where she was billed as the high school with the strongest voice.
On July 31, DJ HASEBE will release a new mix CD, “Tokyo Sunshine Groove.” The CD will feature previously released songs by the likes of indigo la End, PAELLAS, SIRUP, and FNCY. “Tokyo Sunshine Groove” will also feature a new collaboration between DJ HASEBE, BASI, and Mukai Taichi, titled “Groovin’ in the Sunshine.” The song, along with its instrumental, will be released digitally the same day as “Tokyo Sunshine Groove.” The trio have released a music video for the groovy summer song, which can be found below!
