Anoice- “Ripple” PV

Ah the daily grind. The same old same old. Yet if you change up your routine, it may cause a disastrous ripple effect. Check out the extremely depressing PV for Anoice’s “Ripple” and feel the sadness. The piano soldiers on while the violins weep. THIS is CLASSICAL at it’s best. Evoking emotion. Look for “Ripple” [...]

butter butter- “YUUGI” PV

Butter Butter return with their 4th mini album Recycle and the first single is the frenetic guitar fingered “YUUGI.” It’s a great track that totally seems to slips into another song altogether at the 2:47 mark. Very Cool. Get the squeeze on Butter Butter’s latest out 2.1.2012 from CDJapan. Then visit Paula Deen’s favorite J-band’s [...]

Say “YES” to Acid Black Cherry

Acid Black Cherry pokes a little fun at the moody rocker ballad in their PV clip for “YES.” At least it seems that way until the little girl who gains moodyhead’s attention has to say goodbye. Then it gets sad and weird. I guess we need to see the full PV to find out what [...]

KPOP group Dal★shabet- “HIT U” full MV

Dal★shabet is hitting U hard in their sexy shooter “HIT U.” Like HOLY SHIT she’s got 2 barrels locked and loaded and blowing you the fuck away. You know what? I think Dal★shabet  actually hates U. These girls have looks that can kill, so be forewarned. They can shake it and then leave you cold [...]

Hitomi Shimatani- “故郷” extended clip

Hitomi Shimatani is heading home in this extended clip for “故郷.” If you think this is your standard JPOP, you are dead wrong. Hitomi Shimatani is rocking the JAZZ FLUTE through most of this adult contemporary single. I’ve been needing more jazz flute in my diet, and I think this track will satiate that desire. [...]

Back Drop Bomb- 30 sec CM for The Ocracy “Progress”

Be Afraid. Back Drop Bomb is blowing up in this 30 sec CM for their single “Progress.” It’s on their newest album The Ocracy scheduled for 2.22.2012. It’s loud, face-paint scary and slightly weird. Hear those horns in the back ground? Listen closely. Turns out this is an Avex Trax band, so maybe we will [...]

SiM- Seeds of Hope Album Review

SiM- Seeds of Hope Album Review

SiM smashes headache-inducing  hateration-filled hard rock with bits of metal, sludge and spooky ska riffs for a rather unique bit of optimism in their latest album Seeds of Hope. This album may not offer the most intellectual of self-reflection and realization, with lyrics such as “Fuck you, I fucking hate you,” from the song “I [...]

Opening SiM’s new album Seeds of Hope + Hot Wheels toys!

My son and I attempt a double opening of two gifts! We open a Hot Wheels set and then unwrap SiM’s new Album Seeds of Hope. The artwork to the album is actually pretty cool. There are heiroglyphs for each track of the album and the symbols are on each page of the lyrics books. [...]
