James Kobe- “Happy”
Boku wa happy! It scares me when I can understand a lyric in Japanese. But damn did this video make me happy.
Predawn- “Suddenly”
Suddenly, the indie pop princess rears her head. Can she strum her way out of wonderland?
bloodthirsty butchers- “curve”
The butchers are back with another stop motion video. I’m just going to assume this video is about reincarnated lovers.
fragments of clarity- “make the revolution in your heart”
There’s nothing clear about this revolution.
Masterlink- “Traveling”
Thanks for cutting the end off. Will soccer-ball head ever learn how to dance?
Bradberry Orchestra- “Love Check”
A new collaboration between Shinichi Osawa and Takeshi Kobayashi (the guy who did the All About Lily Chou Chou soundtrack!). It obviously has more of a Shinichi Osawa beat.
sequick- “Sunday Morning”
Jazz with vocoder? Who would’ve thought that would work. Oh, and this is a Maroon 5 song. I’m looking forward to the Carpenters cover.
HeavensDust- “Cry and Fall”
A metal band that has a full-time shakuhachi player. I can get behind that.
the strange drama- “Predawn”
Why don’t you play with that lonely girl instead of walking on the beach?
neco- “Engawa De Dancehall”
cute
