Hey yo! Yo-Hey! or Yohei.. this guy sings like James Taylor and sounds absolutely amazing with his acoustic guitar. And he sings about love in “Ai Ni Tsuite.” Love Love Love it.. or else! I also love how CDJapan lists his description as “a hot artist from Kyoto, who is 28 years old and 191cm … Continue reading »
Put ink to parchment and draw up an adventure in the absolutely amazingly animated video for “Whale of a Time.” Set sail for giant whales and mermaids while jamming out with flutes and bongos. Coreyah sounds like an extremely exciting band. Take a peek at Coreyah’s facebook page and you can see the band is … Continue reading »
Man I wish my office was this lively. Check out the song and dance in the workplace video for Hoshino Gen’s “Bakemono.” Victor Entertainment has also turned into a monster by slicing up their artist’s videos with trailer inserts and behind the scenes. It’s horrible. Yet I like the song well enough to look out … Continue reading »
A simple strum on the acoustic guitar and some pretty lyrics bathed in sunlight make Hitomi Moriwaki’s “Danchi no uta” a great slice of life song. The video is just as interesting as we see Hitomi Moriwaki videoing flowers and of course cats, because everyone loves cat videos. Kidding aside, “Danchi no uta” shows what … Continue reading »

Predawn also knows how to play an acoustic guitar. Between her strumming and Predawn’s cute college coffee rock vocals, … Continue reading »
Become juicebox buds with 大森靖子 (Oomori Seiko) . She might sound like the crazy cat lady that lives next door, but that doesn’t mean she can’t rock a mean acoustic guitar. Emphasis on the word “MEAN” by the way. First check out her rooftop rouser “”魔法が使えないなら”” and then watch a vid promo for her album … Continue reading »
Whoa! Two awesome artists, Kie Kitano and Suneohair, come together to duet in the acoustic pop single “Yokogao.” Kie Kitano is already distracting enough to make you almost wreck, and Suneohair can strum out a tune like no other. The results are rather nice. So hold on to your coffee and take a sip of … Continue reading »
Boys will be boys. And leave ADAMS to role play a dinner on the beach Weekend at Bernie’s style and well you see what happens in the acoustic rocker “Boku No Sei.” Well if you know anything about the duo of ADAMS, you know these guys fully represent Boys Love in their videos. Call them … Continue reading »
Not even 10,000 maniacs can keep Maaya Sakamoto from performing under the big top in this short clip of “Nicola.” The point being is that I get a Natalie Merchant vibe from Maaya Sakamoto’s latest effort. That probably just blew right over everyone’s head. Anyhoo, “Nicola” is a very pretty song. Quiet and acoustic, and … Continue reading »
