As if BoA wasn’t busy enough with her album released last week, she’s back with a new Japanese single as well. We have groundbreakers like BoA and Tohoshinki to thank for K-pop’s popularity in Japan, and it’s always nice to see them take another well-deserved victory lap. Good For U may not be a revelatory new ripple in BoA’s storied career, but it’s a decent enough bop. Having traversed pretty much every K-pop sub-genre you can imagine across the past twenty-something years, BoA plays with current trends on this groovy track. The song has a generic sheen, driven by familiar…

In my house, there exists a hallowed “Damdadi” that heralded the arrival of a personal favorite idol group, so there’s no way I’m not instantly imagining baseball uniforms and hip-shaking choreo when I see that title. However, producer R.Tee and i-dle’s Soyeon have also ventured into “Damdadi” territory with this new collaboration. While there’s no way this song can match up to that “original” Damdadi, it’s a fun dance track. Collaborations like this exist outside the needs of a typical K-pop comeback and allow the artists to craft something more streamlined and dancefloor-ready. DAMDADI (담다디) does nothing a million other…
