Tokyo-Nights: For the Week [03.18.09]

Sunday, 22 March 2009 22:52

For the Week is your weekly look into the newest releases in Japanese music. Every week I take a listen to as much as I can and choose what I feel is the best or most passable new material. You can expect around 2-5 singles and 1-3 albums to be featured per column depending on the volume of releases for the week. This column isn't about me trying to make opinions for you, just lead you in the direction of what I think were the better efforts of the week.

This is the week of 03.18.2009 and it is only marginally better than last week.
