First roundup of the new year! What's good and welcome back to another installment of the Infrequent J-Song Roundup segment! This is a thing I do on this blog where I, essentially, pick out some great songs that I've been listening to lately and just talk about/praise them in a post. A very simple concept, which makes you think that I probably should do this more often... heh.
