So a little bit about myself,I have only been listening to j- pop song since about three years ago,at that time I was listening to english pop but was getting more and more disappointed as it was just rap song after rap song and full of electronic dance music,being someone that prefer instrumental music I was desperate for new music,metal and dance music(e.g english metal and k- pop) was not really my kind of thing,simply put i just needed a new genre,it was only that I chance upon people playing the song "heavy rotation"at the jubeat machine in the arcade,I was suddenly struck so how catchy the song is and the rest is history.
*note
The music that I recommended in this post does not necessarily mean that the single are release in the month of May 2016,it just that i listen and downloaded the music for the first time in that month So anyway here are the top 5 j- pop song that are not in no particular order that I recommend in the month of May
1.Utada Hikaru-(花束を君に hanataba wo kimini)

This definitely belong in the genre of ballad,I am sure many of you would immediately think of the song first love the moment utada hikaru is mention,personally I haven listen to first love even once but after listening to hantaba wo kimini I can understand why she live up to her name of being one of the more prominent j-pop artist

2.anderlust-( 帰り道 kaerimichi)

Anderlust is definitely a first for me,Japan seem to have quite a few of these duo group(e.g flipside and garnedelia),this was a pretty good pop song for 2016,I think?the chorus is probably the strong point for this song making it,I also like the singer voice in it

3.Getsu no kiwami otome (ゲスの極み乙女)-Otonatic(オトナチック)

This is definitely on the list,the starting of the piano get you hook to the song in no time,along with various other instrument usage in the song,this song may be on a little weird side but it's definitely a good song to get you rev up,this is also the first song I heard from this group,I am definitely going to hear more from them
*finally,one with youtube video link

5.chicken line(チキンLINE)-SKE48

An idol song,how could japanese pop be complete without idol song which are just full of genki!it's been ages since ske48 has release a pretty catchy music,on the other hand nogizaka 46 has been releasing pretty decent music lately(but that a story for another day).sadly,with matsui rena graduated from ske48,matsui jurina is left to continue the legacy of ske48,check out the full force of jurina in chicken line mv!

Final word:I have always love a little mix of song from pop,ballad,rock and instrumental and this is why I really like j-pop a lot,where it really offer a diversity of song,if you are feeling happy,you can listen to the numerous cheerful idol song and if you are feeling sad and in need of a ballad many soloist jpop singer can offer that.
"Happy rotation time!"
