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.

The Cabs open up “二月の兵隊” with geometrically-precise guitar and drum, the sort of math rock you envision being plotted out on graph paper. The lead singer’s voice sails in shortly after, and the single becomes a touch sweeter as The Cab’s frontman sways between the webs. Sparkplugged…

Regardless, here’s the dude’s latest blast of basement-based beach pop, “I Wonder What Your Mom’s Thinking.” Like a few of his older jams, “Thinking” sounds…
I came across Greeen Linez “Palm Coast Freeway” a bit ago, whenever the excellent folks over at No Modest Bear first posted the summer-tastic clip accompanying the song. I listened to and enjoyed the song, possibly preparing my next-day lunch while enjoying that almost sleazy bass strut out of my speakers. “Great song!” I thought….
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpWCEIfvqzk”] The recent boom in electronic music in the Kansai area has thus far mostly been a story of individual producers, solo artists rapidly uploading new blasts of music to SoundCloud as fast as their Internet connection allows them to. Although a few places serve as gathering points for this scene – the parties put…
Predawn’s always sounded intimate, the folk-leaning songs on her Ten Minutes With Predawn EP and her 2010 longplayer A Bird In The Hand coming off like personal journal scribblings. Yet even on those sparse and confessional tracks, the Tokyo artists never sounded particularly fragile – even on the downtrodden “What Does It Mean?” she kept…
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMhjVUmQ6oM”] Welp, April Fool’s Day has arrived for most of the world (totally over that in Japan though) and I won’t be attempting to make any jokes because I’m not technically skilled enough to turn every video into Rick Astley or 8-bit-ize a map. Instead, I’ll post this video The Aprils made, which is a…
