Start of the Day- The Last Song live video
The last thing I should do is be blogging.. I’m on vacation. But to start the morning with a sunrise view of surfers cutting through the water and listening to Start of the Day’s “the Last Song” is pretty f’n sweet. I wish I could blog at the beach everyday. If you like the above [...]
DadaD- Go Around PV
DadaD is a pallindrome: the same spelling frontwards and backwards sure to confuse you. DadaD is also a band that consists of two members: one boy one girl, who will try their best to confuse you in the PV for “Go Around.” Everything from switching clothes to switching sides of the screen to switching faces.. [...]
Analog Fish- Phase PV
Analog Fish is rocking out seriously with fast drumbeats, bass and laser guitars in the single “Phase,” which signals urgency, and yet the lead singer has a rather calm demeanor in vocals and mannerism. The PV for “Phase” somewhat reminds me of Ian Brown’s “Stellify,” but I guess it’s just the walking down the road [...]
NIHA-C- Ground Zero PV
NIHA-C is rapping at Ground Zero and the boy has got some skillz. “Ground Zero” is a head bobber, but really what shines is the killer 80′s synth loop and beats produced by Ist. This shit is nice. So nice, it’s also a free download of his whole album HERE. So thank NIHA-C. On one [...]
Nanba Shiho new single こどなの階段
Probably one of the coolest J-pop singles of 2011.. Nanba Shiho takes cute to another level with some killer synth pop backing her whispery widdle voice. It also looks like her video was produced by some video award winners for Sankanaction and Perfume. Yeah. Look for Nanba Shiho’s new single out 6.15.2011, yet it is [...]
functioncode- Whispering Ghost PV
The more I hear functioncode, the more they remind me of Guns N’ Roses with a female vocalist. “Whispering Ghost” digs into an almost “Paradise City” riff but lead singer le;ka’s voice has this great Heart and Pat Benatar sound that makes you wanna jump in the backseat with her and sing along. Functioncode seems [...]
Obrigarrd- The Ground Cumbia PV
In continuing with music without real words, we get this hip hop flavored DJ loop track for “The Ground Cumbia” by Obrigarrd. It combines what sounds like accordian with tribal beats and hand claps. It’s funky and extremely danceable. The PV is just as weird with stuffed animal monsters, dj turntables, club scenes and 2 [...]
Superfly- Ah PV
Superfly brings the gospel in a long winded “Ah” that stretches the entire length of the song for a full 3 minutes and 40 seconds. It’s not hard to learn the words. Can you say “Chuuuurch!” You even get some back up choir support during the hymnal. It’s interesting and beautiful and full of emotion [...]
Veronica Veronico- Lycoris PV
Veronica Veronico crank out a squeaky horn sounding guitar track in their single “Lycoris” which contrasts to the beautiful vocals of the lead singer. Right when you think you have them pegged though they jam out a bluegrass rock style on the drums. Yee Haw dudes! Still this song is basically a sweeping rock track, [...]

Find out these answers and more when you preorder Blue Flame from Yesasia or CDJapan out 6.8.2011. Then get happy at Alice Nine’s Tokuma page and official website. Follow [...]
