Everybody’s looking forward to the weekend.
Japan’s brightest new indie band has released a new version of their first PV in time for the release of their debut album. The album version of “Toumei Kan” contains 100% less furries but otherwise sounds the same as the original, which was apparently co-written with beat maker Idiot Pop who also just released an awesome dance album.
Sexy time.
Stabbed in the heart and he still makes it to the show on time! After their stellar debut mini-album, Turntable Films made it into my most anticipated for 2012 and “Misleading Interpretations” does not disappoint. It is sad though to see they’re a trio now, which must be a recent development as I can hear former keyboardist Nozomi Funada all over this track (I think she even has a cameo in this video?).
Another posted-after-work edition of J-Rock Fridays. I’m sorry I spent my afternoon at the new Salvation Army by my house. Is anyone else creeped out by the black men in red suits? They were ALL OVER THE PLACE. Except they couldn’t be nicer. They literally ran to open the door for me and my mom. Hm. Looks like the next J-Rock Fridays column falls just in time for Halloween Super Fun Time. Post your favorite “masked” bands/videos in the comments and I will probably add them. I promise not to post too many Beat Crusaders videos!
Ohohohohooh your “ohohohohoohs” sound so good. But if you’re going to name yourselves after a popular western catchphrase I recommend not spelling your name out in Japanese, thanks!
Michael Jackson died a year ago today. There is no moonwalking here.
Finally a techno-rap unit that hasn’t been raped by Mobile Suit Gundam hey.
