I don't know if this is on wiki, however I thought you might like to review it.

Don't see it there. I will be taking suggestions for albums not on the list, but not now. I'll let you know when. Also, they won't be reviewed until the following month (April) as I'm still working on the ex-list recs for February.

It's getting so I have less and less to write about K-pop. Honestly, to a great extent, once you've heard one album you've heard them all. You don't need to hear this one. Neither do I.

Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Only if I have to – **** it!

Another K-pop album. This one is by a girl band. I'll let you know if it's any different to the fistful of similar albums from K-pop artists I've listened to up to now. No, it isn't.

Check out more from this artist? Nah

Got to admit, I thought the first song had lyrics saying “Hashtag it's my life”, but no, it's “Hashdark”. Not sure what sort of sense that makes, also not sure I care. It's a catchy song, I'll give it that, a lot better than the last two K-pop efforts I've had to listen to. Not that I like it or anything, you understand: it's just better. Though not much. The rest is **** though.

Check out more from this genre or subgenre? I suppose I'll have to

Album title: Let Freedom Ring
Artist: Hiroya Ozaki
Genre: J-pop/Alt-Pop/Adult Contemporary
Nationality: Japanese
Release date: March 22
Position in Discography: Debut
Fear Factor: High
Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 2.00
Well at least it's not bloody mindless pop or rap, like so much of this has been for the last few entries. This is a more acoustic, laidback, adult contemporary kind of thing, with the first track putting me in mind of Extreme's “More Than Words”, then there's a kind of AOR feel to the next one, followed by a nice low-key ballad with elements of r&b and finishing with a lovely piano ballad. Honestly, in the four tracks this EP runs for I've got more enjoyment than I have from the last three albums. I'd listen to more of this.

Check out more from this artist? Hai!

Release date: March 24
Position in Discography: Second
Fear Factor: Low
Familiar with this artist? No

I like the sound of this when it starts off; reminds me of my favourites, Threshold. Good bouncy music, great hooks, good singer: the signs are good. Just keeps getting better. Very impressed with this. Standouts: title track, opening track “Echo of a Scream”, “Won't Let You Down”, “A Light in Me”. Just a really great album.
