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.
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu turns 20 next week*, and to celebrate she has a new single called “Furisodeshon,” which you can hear above. Sonically, it sounds like Yasutaka Nakata is returning to his early-Capsule days, as the music sounds like something off of S.F. Sound Furniture or before. And yeah the video is pretty great, especially…
Already huge among high school girls and (presumably, if YouTube videos can be trusted) a certain kind of middle-aged man, pop-cult AKB48 has managed to become even bigger during the summer of 2010. They’ve nabbed TV candy commercials and appear on a convenience-store’s worth of magazine covers. Spinoff branches of the Akihabara-based groups have emerged…
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…
Nujabes jazzy beat on this song sounds pretty rad, but the video steals the show. Some of these shots are strangely hypnotic, especially the second-to-last one. [Via JapanProbe] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAxgpHWtLC0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1]
(Heh, talk about nice timing) Kobe producer Tofubeats’ latest single is here, and after two major-label songs where he hooked up with some older names, he’s teamed up with Hitomi Arai of Tokyo Girls’ Style for new single “Come On Honey!” It’s a shuffling number featuring some nice synth blurts right before the chorus and…
[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1-cnmcic8s”] Make Believe Melodies just spent five days in Washington D.C., watching a bunch of college football, drinking fancy beers and gorging on Swedish meatballs. The unfortunate side effect of this trip…besides a sudden ballooning of my stomach…was a lack of Internet that meant missing out on new Japanese music, most prominently this new song…
