I live in South Korea, and unfortunately the only official music by her I can find online now is "Jolin Tsai - I'm Not Yours Feat. NAMIE AMURO" and "One Piece Opening 20 | Hope by Namie Amuro," both of which were obviously not uploaded by her team. The rest seem to have been uploaded without her consent. It got me wondering how things are in Japan. How are people in Japan accessing her music or is the situation pretty much the same over there?

I’m not talking about the artists’ talent—just the music. For me, it’s aespa. 2021 was their year with "Next Level" and "Savage," both of which I still haven’t gotten tired of. Then in 2024, they released two of my favorite K-pop songs of all time, "Supernova" and "Whiplash." Also, they’re known in Korea as "B-side master," and rightfully so. With songs like "Lucid Dream," "Angel #48," and "Thirsty," they’re the only K-pop act that’s made it into my playlist more than five times (yes, I’m super picky). What’s your pick? It'd be nice if you included your favorite songs by them. I'm always on the hunt for some good music lol I'm sure many other people are too!
