For JPOP in May, the releases come mostly in single form, following a month of several high-profile album releases in Japan. Your wallet gets no break, especially for fans of Japan's boy bands. All the big groups have singles coming out: KAT-TUN has 'Going!' coming early in the month and Arashi keeps it going with 'Monster' on the 15th. And leave it to Korean boy band Choshinsei to hit you multiple times with their three Japanese singles released on three days in a row. Starting on May 13th they'll release 'All About U,' 'Magokoro,' and 'J.P. Reborn.' To round things out, and not to leave the girls out, the 48-piece girl band AKB48 will release their single 'Ponytail to Shou Shou' on May 26th.
