Koharu Kusumi's new single Papancake

Kusumi, right, and Eri of Morning Musume, January 2008: Koharu strikes out on her own once again.

YO's rating: B+ | It's always good to know the latest on Kusumi, because every time she produces a single, the Hello Project and UFA cash registers ring. Kusuki is the consummate outside draw; her main fans are anime fans, which is why this screamy effort will do quite well. Such a style is more than suitable for anime, but it's harder for that kind of song to stand on its own come concert time. We'll see. Nice entry by Love マシ in any event.

Best in J-Pop
