Shiina Ringo’s back with her band this summer with their new single Osca coming out mid July. There’s a lot of panty flashing in this catchy video! In August Tokyo Jihen will be releasing another single, Killer Tune.
TOKYOPOP visits Jrock Revolution
June 19, 2007Tokyopop has posted a short video compilation clip of the Jrock Revolution festival on their youtube account. JRR has posted on it’s myspace blog that there is enough video footage for a dvd release.
ELLEGARDEN cover
June 19, 2007I usually don’t post about amateur covers, or even watch them really but I found this one interesting. It’s a keyboard version of Ellegarden‘s Fire Cracker. It would’ve been nice to post the original video of this song for comparison purposes but it seems that youtube deletes all of PVs every other month, sorry. You can listen to it on their myspace at least.
LOVE ME BUTCH
June 19, 2007Last night I familiarized myself again with Love Me Butch’s 2005 album This Is the New Pop. LMB is a screamo/hardcore band from Malaysia and has also gained popularity in the Philippines and all across Asia. Syrayal sings in perfectly clear English which I find abnormal in Asian bands. You can buy the album at Interpunk though it is currently out of stock.
Beat Crusaders acoustic
June 13, 2007Check out two acoustic Beat Crusaders videos for “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight” and “Fairy Tale.” Both songs are off their latest album EPopMaking. Looks like Toru is a Bad Religion fan :O
INHALE, JP
June 13, 2007Shoichi, ex-vocalist of the now defunct Versus the Night has formed a new band named Inhale. They have uploaded the song, M.A.M.E.T.A.
Nice Day!
June 11, 2007Ryukyudisko’s new PV for Nice Day with the Beat Crusaders in on youtube. It’s not as dancy as I thought it would be but there’s still a lot of electronic noises.
