JPopsuki, an enormously successful torrent tracker for J-Pop music and videos for the past four years, has returned as version 2.0. Considered by many as the best site for J-Pop torrents, JPopsuki recently switched over to Gazelle and has taken off like a bullet. In less than three weeks, registered members tally in at a whopping 16K with nearly 6,000 total torrents already added. Registration is currently still open, but it’s been mentioned by staff that this won’t last forever.

Jpopsuki’s Migration to Gazelle
Since the old site (seen here) had been stagnating - not to mention slow, due to some 4+ years of wear and tear - the Jpopsuki team decided it was best to start afresh with a new server & tracker codebase. Old databases were not migrated to the new location:
- • Previous members will need to re-register; all old accounts (and stats) were lost.
- • Torrents from the old tracker were not carried forward to the new site.
JPopsuki - ‘The Japanese What.CD’
J-Pop, in actuality, is an all-encompassing term used to describe any & all popular Japanese music (not just ‘pop’). JPopsuki.eu caters to all genres of modern Japanese music; with some Korean, Thai and Chinese releases also available.
Formats — Making the most out of Gazelle, Jpopsuki offers varying formats for all audio releases, including MP3 (mostly V0 [VBR] & 320 bitrates), including over 750 different FLAC releases - in which lossless music accounts for an impressive 20% of all audio torrents on the site.
Content / Categories — Aside from audio music (albums & singles) making up for nearly three-quarters of the content, Jpopsuki is home to an impressive selection of PVs (Promotional Videos - known as music vids) & DVDs, which total in at more than 1,000 torrents combined.
