Although this list is in no specific order, I did have to put this song first because it is the most recent and has been stuck in my head since the first time I heard it! If you like this one, be sure to also check out “Voltage,” another amazing Japanese comeback by ITZY. Once again (and even in Japanese), BTS is proving that they’re the kings of lyricism. This is such a beautiful song, so be sure to look up the translations! This song was the girl group’s very first Japanese single, and they completely knocked it out of the park with this one. This might be my favorite Loona song to date! If you’re ever feeling down, this song will immediately put you in a better mood guaranteed. It was extremely hard to narrow down which Japanese comeback of Seventeen’s to include in this list because there are just so many great ones! If you like this one, be sure to check out “CALL CALL CALL!” and “Power of Love.” With the holidays approaching, this is the perfect Japanese comeback to get you in the mood and from no other than the queens Twice! The Doughnut EP also includes the Japanese track “Wonderful Day” that you don’t want to miss. This is Stray Kids’ second Japanese comeback, and they did not disappoint. From the visuals to the catchy chorus, they definitely had me captivated! This track off the Loveholic EP is one of my favorites from NCT 127. Their vocals really get to shine throughout the song, and the bridge breakdowns and dance breaks from this group never disappoint! This track from the girl group’s highly anticipated first Japanese full length album Bloom was absolutely worth the wait. If you like this one, be sure to also check out “#Cookie Jar” and “Snap Snap” from the album! From the group’s first Japanese album of the same name, “Pinky Swear” stood out to me because it is such a pure form of a feel-good song! Another track to give a listen to from this album is “Labyrinth.” Lastly, being completely honest, I think this song might be my personal favorite Japanese track from a K-pop group ever! It’s no secret that EXO makes amazing music, but I will never forget the first time I heard this song. Something about D.O.’s part (1:19 in the attached video) in the chorus itches my brain just right.
