Jpop Recommend #502 Night Dancer by Imase

Night Dancer 
Imase


Released in August 2022, this song is his 5th single released only through online streaming.  This song is really catchy and addictive charm.  Once I heard the song, I kept repeating it over and over again in my head...

He is still a new comer but has a great potential.  It seems that his songs are already popular among young generations not only here in Japan but in Korea and other countries.  If you haven't heard his songs, please try this one.
