For all the great attributes that draw us to them in the first place, friends also usually boast a few traits we aren’t fond of and can sometimes be annoying. No biggie, no human can be perfect to anyone – otherwise great people will sometimes focus a little too much on how great high school was for them or argue Five Guys burgers somehow trump In-N-Out’s. All cool! Yet sometimes friends do one thing that absolutely drives you up the wall and makes you want to have some sort of intervention with them at that moment. Usually, your bud doesn’t realize this action makes you want to ship him off to a labor camp, and sees nothing wrong with what they are doing. You can’t even really blame them from it – they come from a different background where this sort of stuff most have been tolerated or even celebrated. But it still makes you bonkers and you pray one day your friend wises up and stops doing it.

The above video of former professional boxer Yoko Gushiken being transformed into a “rapper” to see whether his (adorable) dog would still fawn over him hits on that “one thing” Japan does that makes me want to write a big dumb academic paper. Just…”yo yo.” Gahhhhhhhh.

(Via Japan Probe)

This aired on the cute-animal program Shimura Zoo, which gave the world one other musical masterpiece much more worthy of celebration.

  • Nostalgia Ultra: FNCY And Pan Pacific Playa

    Whether because current tastes veer towards long-gone times that were significantly better than the current state of the world or because we are stuck in a algorithmic-dictated dystopia of “remember the ’80s?” sales pitches, nostalgia pretty much dominates large chunks of music communities around the world — including (especially?) in Japan.

  • New House Of Tapes: Trip Science

    名古屋のHouse Of Tapesのデビューアルバム”Trip Science”はとても奇妙で、初めて聴く時は少し戸惑うかもしれません。皮肉でも何でもないのですが、この激しく至って暗いサウンドは凄く独特なのです。House Of Tapesの音楽はいつでもまるで耐重力訓練のようで、Gasper Noeの映画を全て通して観ているようなダンス・ミュージック。単純に”House”とカタゴライズできる程シンプルでないのです。 でも”Trip Science”はアルバムとしての完成度が高い事は確かです。“Chaos Tape”に使われたチャイムの音が繰り出す美しくポップな不気味さはHouse Of Tapesらしいギミックですし、“Faint Light”での激しいビートや打ち込みはまるでブラック・ホールに吸い込まれて行くような感覚。去年リリースされた“Starting Point”や分かりやすいタイトルの”Noise Attack”は未だに新鮮さを失わず、アルバムにも違和感無く収録されています。凄く挑戦的な音楽ですが、聴くのは決して挑戦にはなりませんよ。ダウンロードはこちらから。

  • Creepin: The Eglle

    Tokyo’s The Eglle floats somewhere between the bad-weather pop of She Talks Silence and the gut-punching of Miila And The Geeks, and even then saying they fall between doesn’t seem accurate. Like the latter two bands, The Eglle’s music fills me with an unease that’s not easy to explain in writing – it’s not scary…
