Christmas Music Round-Up: Love And Hates, Twee Grrrls Club, Cubismo Grafico, EeL

It’s Christmas Eve in Japan, and a handful of artists are getting into the spirit with special sonic holiday gifts or mixes. Rap-happy duo Love And Hates celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in typical Love And Hates fashion – by covering a song called “I Wanna Kill.” To their credit, they add plenty of bells and yule-tide glee to the Crocodiles tune, making this track seem at least a little Christmasey. Download it for free here, or listen below.

Yuppa and Moe of Love And Hates also shared some of their favorite twee-leaning Christmas tunes over at the Twee Grrrls Club blog, along with the other members of the club. Check that out here. Member Sumire also made a holiday mix, which you can listen to hear.

Sticking in Tokyo, Cubismo Grafico put together a special collection of cover songs from a variety of artists. You can download this special collection here for free.

Last, pop spazz EeL thanks everyone who supported her over this year with a free song entitled “Snow World Under The White Moon.” It’s very nice. Get it here, and also trip out to the Rudolph footage playing in the background.

Happy holiday from Make Believe Melodies, may it be great for you! Thank you for reading.

    Boys Age’s proper debut album STILL hasn’t arrived in stores (that’s next week), yet the duo just keep on pumping out music. It remains their most intriguing aspect and the one that makes them so very hard to really sum up (though when they put out a best-of comp, it is vital). Well, that and…

  • New Sakanaction: “Music”

    サカナクションは1月23日発売のニューシングル、”ミュージック”にて、彼らの原点を少し振り返っています。ボーカリスト山口一郎のバースでの声の伸ばし方はまるでシングル”エンドレス”のようで、曲の後半で感情がぐっと込み上げてくる感じは”モノクロトウキョー”の世界観。でもアイディアが尽きたとかそういう意味ではなく、彼らが本来持っていたコアな部分を大事にしつつ、新しい事にチャレンジしています。構成も美しく、最初は山口のボーカルをセンターに配置した寂しい雰囲気で始まり、徐々にバンドがスペースを埋め、コーラスで感情は頂点に。度々言いますが、サカナクションが日本のメインストリームで飛躍していく姿を観れて本当に光栄です。試聴はこちらから。
