What's a kpop, jpop, and cpop song you'd like to suggest to other people? I'm always open to jpop and cpop recs, for example, because I mostly pay attention to kpop. Post a video of each song that you like, even if you think it's old or well known. If you don't know any kpop or cpop or whatever, feel free to post another jpop vid instead (same goes for the other two). If you want to just post one song, that's fine. I'll probably end up doing that, since I am such a jpop/cpop noob.

My recs for today:

KPOP



Orange Caramel is the subunit of kpop group After School. Their songs are more cutesy and their outfits more quirky. Their concepts are quite fresh compared with many of those of their counterparts. Overall, OC is far more popular in Korea than AS, and their single Catallena, released this year, was played everywhere in Seoul when I was there. Check them out! English lyrics here

JPOP



As your resident jpop noob, I present to you what is probably one of the most well known recent jpop hits by NMB48. But I really like it, so in case you haven't heard it, listen here. English lyrics here.

CPOP



I love Rainie Yang's songs. They are very emotive and beautifully composed. The English translation of this song, Wishing for Happiness, is here.
