What GC was spinning in 2019 (part 2)

19) Dead or A Lime - BiS

The first release by the reformulated BiS after the 2nd iteration blew up. Fans were not happy but what better way to ingratiate the new group with fans than a song that calls back to the original group? Featuring a much more punk sound, a song title taking a jab at Japanese pronunciation of English, and a video that is just a bit unsettling the fan dubbed BiS3 looks to be closer to the original BiS than the 2nd iteration was. It remains to be seen if BiS3 will attack the idol scene with as much gusto as their original namesake.

18)Ikasuze Idol - Melon Batake a GoGo

Last years alternative idol breakouts, Melon Batake a GoGO took a break from their normal psychobilly sound to produce this short rocker. A big difference between Melon and many other groups is that they often use their lower registered normal singing voices rather than trying to sound cute.

17)Ai Hakimino Mono - Broken By the Scream

Broken By the Scream grew a lot this year after the release of their first album last year playing metal festivals in South Korea, Taiwan, and their first gig in North America in August. The lead single from their next album is of their typical style with Io and Kagura providing harsh vocals while Ayame and Yae provide clean all while backed by their band.

16)Blow - Ed Sheeren, Bruno Mars, Chris Stapleton

I have no idea where this came from as the three artists aren't known for rock. It is however a damn fine hard rock song.

15) Shanti Shanti Shanti - Babymetal

2018 was a turbulent year for Babymetal with the absence and subsequent departure of Yui-metal and some sub par releases it looked like 2019 would be much of the same. A album announcement and release of the first single perked up some ears but a performance of Glastonbury and the release of the 2nd single the Indian inspired Shanti Shanti Shanti let fans know that Babymetal was back on the right track. Shanti Shanti Shanti was the most experimental track they put out this year so it is the one that gets the nod.
