It is impossible to keep track of all this and write a review about it per video. But to avoid missing out on (obscure) gems, the decision has been made to create a weekly list of new music videos from Japanese music acts that are definitely worth watching and need some extra focus, with an emphasis on the lesser-known names.<\/p>\n<p>We are now looking back on a selection of videos released in week 29 of 2025. We sincerely hope you enjoy the new discoveries!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Aya Gloomy &#8211; 2 star<\/h3>\n<p>With a new EP on the way and her first European tour on the horizon, the wind seems to be in favour of self-produced indie pop musician Aya Gloomy. Since 2018, her distinctive pop melodies and fashion sense have been attracting attention, in Japan and beyond. She was even the subject of London-based photographer Francesco Allen&#8217;s photo book, titled<em> Aya<\/em>, and featured in a number of episodes of Kiko Mizuhara&#8217;s Amazon Prime Video series <em>Kiko Kikaku<\/em>. \u2014 Recommended by <a href=\"https:\/\/avo-magazine.com\/en\/author\/seraphinne\/\">Francisca<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aya Gloomy - 2 star (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5eleLVZwos8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>\u591c\u306b\u99c6\u3051\u308b (Yoru Ni Kakeru) \uff0d \u8d64\u304b\u3089\u9752\u306b\u5909\u308f\u308b\u3068\u304d (Aka Kara Ao Ni Kawaru Toki)<\/h3>\n<p>This single was digitally released in late November 2024, but has finally received a music video.

According to an interview with Rolling Stone Japan, the four-piece alternative rock band from Sapporo was inspired by post-punk from South London for this song. Meanwhile, a second single has also been released earlier this year.
