Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

When it comes to K-pop, so many girl groups debut every year! There are so many that it can be hard to keep up.

In addition to girl groups, solo artists with a stylish vibe are also really captivating.

Here, we’ll be introducing some of the female artists who represent K-pop! From hugely popular groups to hidden-gem singers, we hope to share the appeal of a wide variety of female artists.

Please enjoy!

They are a six-member South Korean female idol group that released their debut single on July 30, 2012, and officially debuted on M Countdown on August 9.

The overall impression of their music is that they have many dance-style tracks that are very much in vogue right now.
