I'm back with another Japanese release but this time it's with GOT7 and their debut full length Japanese album.
In late 2014, GOT7 signed with Sony Music Entertainment, to make their debut in Japan.

I have the regular edition of the album, but I would eventually love to also have Type B, so I can have the complete track list. I think that while their sound was changing with their Korean music, they kept their sound from debut for their Japanese releases. While we get happy go lucky tracks like Love Train, we also get tracks like Yo モリアガッテ Yo (Yo Morriagatte Yo), that make you want to see what their choreography would be for the track, as well as ballads that really show off that all 7 members have vocal ability when it comes to singing. What I love about this album is that even though they go for tracks that would be more familiar for Japanese music fans, they have hints of their Korean sound, so that you know it's GOT7, but their Japanese releases are always different to their Korean releases. Each track has a different sound and mix well together but the highlight for this album for me was that for the first time we got Youngjae the rapper, we also got to hear Mark sing.

While I love GOT7's Japanese releases, I always tend to lean more towards their Korean albums, doing this post though I've realised how much I miss their martial arts tricking that they did.
Did you like Moriagatteyo?
