  • O!susume – Bonnie Pink

    O!susume – Bonnie Pink

    For this month’s O!susume, I’ve chosen to recommend Bonnie Pink, a solo artist with a prolific career of nearly 30 years. I was first introduced to her music via the Tales of Vesperia opening theme, “Ring a Bell”, or 鐘を鳴らして (kane wo narashite) in Japanese; she sang both the English and Japanese versions of the…

    O!susume – PLOT SCRAPS

  • O!susume – Band-Maid

    Broadcast 26: Band-Maid – Back when I first started O!Susume RadioBeat, I knew that I was going to write about Band-Maid at some point. It\’s literally my favorite band, how could I not? But I\’ve held off for a few years now, mostly because I wasn\’t ready; I didn\’t think my writing could do them…

  • O!susume – HY

    Broadcast 24 – My pick for November’s article is HY, another band that hails from the sunny southern islands of Okinawa, alongside ANLY, whom I covered in one of O!’s first broadcasts. The group has had quite the journey, from starting as a five-member band still in high school to four nationally lauded musicians of…

  • O!susume – Omoinotake

    O!susume – Omoinotake

    Broadcast 23 – This next band is one that exudes romance, from the lyrics and music videos, all the way to the soul behind their music. A lot of people have heard about them through their theme songs on the drama Cherry Magic or the anime Blue Period, but they are definitely worth giving a…
