J-Rock Fridays Vol. 72
June 1, 2012Another round of wacky and zany music videos from Japan.
0.8 Byo no Shogeki.- “Lasagna”
Bath time! Weird Byo no Shogeki is back with a sexy video although glasses gets the last laugh.
Jeronimo Brothers- “Mentai Corporation, Pt. 1”
Two naked dudes hovering over sushi. Who’s hungry now?
Czecho No Republic- “Dinosaur”
New mini-album coming out soon from one of my favorite indie pop groups. Not quite Jurassic Park but we can’t all walk with dinosaurs.
Straightener- “Synchro”
This week’s most Tumbled video, although some visual kei bands came close. Shake hands and listen to “Synchro” from Straightener’s new acoustic album Soft.
uminecosounds- “Jiri Jiri”
Mr. Jiri is sweating buckets. Maybe he should ask a doctor about his gland condition before scaring off little girls.
six- “Cobb”
I just started watching that White Heat show on the BBC America and am finding the 60s style dresses very attractive.
Karasu- “Tenshi To Akuma”
An elaborate Beauty and the Beast meets Phantom of the Opera kind of video. But who’s the angel and who’s the devil?
Yucca- “Xylophonic Stream”
Dance time with Yucca. We don’t hear enough xylophones in music. Thanks for that.
Akira Ishige- “Red Cat (Your Melody)
Why yes, it is the telephones frontman singing a real slow song about cats. Nice to hear musicians branch out but I rather hear him screaming.
killing Boy- “you and me ,pills”
Another one of those “let’s wear horse and pig masks” videos we get almost every week. Never gets old.
lynch.- “A Flare”
Sit down with your laptop log on to your YouTube and watch lynch. shamelessly promote that Sevencore video game.
Sunset Bus- “Give Me Summer”
It’s officially summer and Sunset Bus has the early anthem.
