Station To Station: Music Station For August 27, 2010 Featuring Perfume, WEAVER And BIGBANG
ByPatrick St. Michel August 27, 2010

WEAVER “僕らの永遠～何度生まれ変わっても、手を繋ぎたいだけの愛だから～ “ [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giAj_iHUwdQ”] First, props to WEAVER for giving their new single a name so long it couldn’t fit on a Butterfinger wrapper. That takes some balls. Unfortunately, that testicular fortitude doesn’t surface anywhere on the actual song. This single…not gonna copy/paste the title…seems custom made for feel-good radio stations moms tune into and…

ByPatrick St. Michel October 8, 2015

Suiyoubi No Campanella has a new album — her fifth, technically, though given a recent increase in her profile in the Japanese mainstream, one that feels like it has more stakes than her previous releases — out in November, and she’s shared one of the songs set to appear on it, “Nishi Tamao.” It touches…
