二十歳の誕生日を控えるきゃりーぱみゅぱみゅが、成人式を祝うべく、新曲“ふりそでーしょん”のビデオを公開しました!ビデオは上にあります。まるでプロデューサーの中田ヤスタカが初期Capsule時代に戻ったかのような曲。S.F. Sound Furnitureかそれ以前の作品のよう。きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅが酔っぱらったフリをするのが観たいなら、ビデオは楽しんでもらえるはず(観たいでしょ?)。ひょっとしたら追加でもっと書くかも。成人式を迎える皆様!本当におめでとうございます! *UPDATE: Nope, she doesn’t, that would be the 29th actually. Next week is just coming-of-age day here in Japan. D’oh!
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has a new single out in October, called “Fashion Monster,” but the full song and video came out late tonight (at a good time for Western audiences HMMMMMMMMM). The clip, above, merges The Adam’s Family with Visual Kei…and a bunch of other great imagery one expects from Kyary with each new video. As for the song…well, hopefully I can write more later, but first few plays through this sounds really nice. The 8-bit bloops Yasutaka Nakata works in are great. For now, enjoy a man dressed as a rabbit rocking out on a turntable-equipped keytar.
It’s officially the weekend (at least on this side of the world) so I’ll keep this brief…Sweet Vacation have a new single out called “ラブカメラ~セカイが恋するメッセージ~” and it’s a fun little piece of bouncy retro J-Pop. With congas! It’s a nice Juicy Fruit piece of pop to carry you to next week. Here a little bit…
Kyoto whizz-kid Madegg has a few new developments to talk about tonight. His SoundCloud page reveals his first proper album will be “coming this spring,” which is pretty exciting, especially because it will come out on Flau Records, home to Neon Cloud and Cokiyu. It also appears the young producer has developed a visual trend…
Tokyo rock trio Perfect Piano Lesson’s new album Wanderlust hit shelves yesterday. The group plays fast-paced rock focused on guitars, but avoid rigidness by playing around with other elements of the song, like the vocals. If you need a comparison, imagine American Football playing faster and embracing the guitar solo. Lead-off track from Wanderlust “(leaving…
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o8NbHSuYrQ”] Confession – I really like Jersey Shore. I’ve been watching it since those loveable stereotypes popped up on MTV. Some say it signals the end of American society…well, to them I say, wouldn’t you want a front-row seat to the end of the Roman Empire? So when someone told me about Geordie Shore, the…
This week, popular Japanese convenience store chain Family Mart rolled out a special campaign celebrating five years of Hatsune Miku. She’s a character attached to a popular line of vocaloid software (a computer program allowing people to create digital vocals) and probably better known in the Western world as the hologram pop star that pre-dated…
New year means a whole slew of new opportunities to tune into Music Station and see what’s up in Japanese mainstream pop. This is the first new installment of the show in 2011 and promises…a very unexciting lineup. Still we soldier on to dull out hate and maybe some praise. Onto the jams. Aqua Timez…
