This week, we welcome Michael to the J-Cafe to have a conversation about Kumi Koda, an iconic pop star who pioneered ero-kakkoi with infectious bops and ballads. In this episode, we talk to Michael about his discovery of J-pop, general reflections about Kumi as an artist and what we like, and much more.

We also discuss this article by Yuki Watanabe in the Japan Studies Journal. Check this out if you want to read more about ero-kakkoi! The playlist for this episode can be found on Youtube Music.

The Japanese Music Café, or The J-Café, is a weekly podcast hosted by JD. We interview guests on their experiences and likes around Japanese music - pop, rock, hip-hop, rap, city pop - and dive into an artist's discography together.
