The [brother beat] by [ Snow man] leads Japan Billboard (week 14/52) Japan Music charts review

The winter is over! The spring is here the group [ Snow Man] making us warm up with their music in a very energetic beat, despite of the chilling name.

The “brother Beat”( ブラザービート) from the Male idol group achieve this leader position after conquering the “TOP Singles Sales”, announced on April 6th. The singles sale had total 809 082 which gave them around 16 000 points, providing them a jump from the 88th position directly to the number 1 spot. These is the group’s 6th single since their debut.

The music is an opening theme from the recent movie "Osomatsu-san" ( https://osomatsusan-movie.jp/ ) starring them (Snow Man) , which is the theme song, was released on March 25.

The movie Original Plot from the website: " The six children of the Matsuno family, Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu do not get a regular job even after the age of 20, and they are virgin kusonito who bite their parents' shins. They live together under one roof while pulling their legs together. One day, his eldest son, Osomatsu, meets an old gentleman (CEO of Apricots, a large company with a market capitalization of several tens of trillion yen!). There is a crazy story about wanting to adopt a son who died in an accident and two melons, Osomatsu. Five younger brothers who can't afford to run through. A bone-and-flesh battle broke out that kicked others down when he wanted to be adopted. In front of them, three people in black who create an atmosphere that seems to be super important appear, and the story goes in an unexpected direction. Who will be adopted and lead the life of the winners?"

Personal Japan billboard Review:

The music is energetic and good to dance! There is no doubt. However, the kind of beat in the music, it brings back the conversation about the Japan music industry needing to evolve to something more than a tag called Jpop. It should be called Jmusic so we could identify Japanese music in a more open approach and identify [Snow Man] a little more than a just jpop group idol.

On the Music video, there is so much going on I had to watch it more than one time. The sequence with just a low quantity of frames make a bit too fast and confusing, But the graphics and the effects are good. I prefer a bit more the [lip&image] version it brings more flow and steadiness.

As for the singing, perfect nothing to report. About the dance, there was a slightly out of sync in the beginning at least one time. But we can forgive that because only the detail seekers will find it. At last, Some hairstyles remind Elvis, don’t they?

Don’t forget to check out the top 10 at the end of this post!
