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 other day we posted a Cloudy Busey track that came out in late December, a dance song called “Don’t Know Why You Love Me.” Bob, who fronts Ice Cream Shout and counts Cloudy Busey as his personal project, tweeted us afterwards noting that “it was a dry run.” Now we know what it was…

Watch it below. [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3pgjE3jDag”] Thanks to SparkPlugged for posting that first. I already wrote up my…
Though I hesitate to share this online because it reveals me to be a total social zero, I’ll cop to helping create a thread on a message board used by local English teachers snarking on Korean pop music. This board usually features discussions focused on the helpful…event listings, teaching advice…to more vacuous chats…a thread titled…
A little bit back, Sakanaction released the video for “Hasu No Hana,” a slow-burning number that made the most of repetition. Now comes the other side of their most recent single and…it is pretty different! “Sayonara Wa Emotion” skitters from the start, both via the beat and the drippy-droppy synths that pass over it. All…
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…
