functioncode- SEX JAP clip

Functioncode is kind enough to give us the finger and then a taste of “SEX JAP.” It’s a trashy and sexy stained sheet of a track worth writhing around in for 1:09 we get of the song. Can someone say suicidegirls? Look for “Sex Jap” on functioncode’s new album Terror out 4.27.2011 at Yesasia and [...]

CoolRunnings- ライトハンド PV

Who buys CDs anymore? (Actually I do. Still.) CoolRunnings is exploding the myth of physical and digital media by exploding CDs in mid air while they perform. These CDs are not just blowin’ up, these pointy shards are clustering and forming giant crystals of death! Oh and the song “ライトハンド” is pretty good. It kinda [...]

Yak.- Nakimushi Hero PV

Start Yakking because the girls of Yak. are super duper sickeningly cute. Whether picking flowers, high-fiving each other or drawing in the sand at the beach, they are having fun in their PV for “Nakimushi Hero.” The single is quite catchy too and is surprisingly a guitar driven pop track. Seriously, there is some shredding [...]

Skip Cows- FUYU-NO JIDAI PV

Cut and Paste animation! The Skip Cows are like paper dolls cut out and pasted into their video for “Fuyu-no Jidai.” The single is a slower rock jam that sounds a little croony. It’s very nice indeed and you might even be able to slow dance to it. Maybe. Find “Fuyu-no Jidai” on Skip Cows [...]

SAY -Tears on Earth (short)

SAY the gospel! “Tears on Earth” is a moving number by SAY equipped with gospel choir and feel good messages. It’s a beautiful single and her first of 2011. I currently can’t find it up for preorder or sale, so until then stay updated with SAY’s official website and twitter.

Azure- 情熱 PV

How the hell do you describe Azure? I can see their popularity.. its a mixture of contemporary pop with classical elements with a girl lead singer and a dude who raps/talks like 90′s dance song Real McCoy Another Night. Not to mention the fact one guy plays violin and the other plays piano. BOOM! So [...]

Hi to Hi first mini album CM

What little I’ve heard from Hi to Hi sounds pretty spectacular. It has an almost organic indie rock sound.. I don’t know really. Just check these guys out. I hope they release a PV soon. Their mini-album Moete Naku Naru is out 4.6.2011. Preorder from Yesasia. Read up on Hi to Hi (hush hush eye [...]

Morning Musume- Maji Desu ka Ska PV

Well its a slow day and if you are like me and live under a rock, you are NOT one of the 70,000 + who have already seen Morning Musume’s take on Ska music. Their version involves sped up ska guitar flecks and horns, and fashion of cute skulls and fish net stockings. Oh and [...]
