The Top 50 J-Pop Songs of 2023: Honorable Mentions

Tomorrow is J-pop Day on The Bias List, with my top 50 songs of the year unveiled throughout the day. Before that, I thought I’d compile some honorable mentions. It was a very strong year, so there’s a ton of music that didn’t quite make the cut for the main list. I settled on twenty five tracks, but there are so many more I’d love to feature. Make sure to check out my J-pop round-ups every Sunday for much more!
