Welcome, all, again. As I'm slowly getting a handle on the new season's shows, I can't help but notice how similar many storylines seem: the plots; the settings; even the characters. Luckily for us, some artists just refuse to conform! Today's discussion will focus upon Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion, a show that reminds me of last season's stunner Golden Kamuy.

I've been waiting patiently to unveil to all the music addicts out there with this weekly video of the top ten songs in Japan and Korea. I have to apologize as this feature was meant to be posted on Tuesday, but due to connection issues between myself (and the radio) uploading a video was virtually impossible. Regardless, I hope you enjoy Toppin' The Charts.
