Kimaguren- “Baton” (short ver.)
One of the dudes of Kimaguren reminds me of Enrique Iglasias. The one with the guitar. This duet have quite a nice little pop track on their hands with “Baton,” a mix of acoustic guitar with speedy BPM and sweeping strings. It’s hard to tell where the PV is going since we only get half [...]
Akira Kawabata- “ASAHI GA NOBORU MAE NI” PV
Run all day and all night to give your loved one a hug and a kiss in this exhausting video for “Asahi Ga Noboru Mae Ni.” Akira Kawabata might take a bus or boat every once in a while to get to where he’s going, but nothing beats running. Akira Kawabata’s latest is a beautiful [...]
Water Water Camel- “想像をこえる日 ” PV
Well Water Water Camel slow things with the acoustic hand clapper “”想像をこえる日.” Gotta say though, this is a purdy song. Even when the kids start singing in the background, it’s faint and not overly distracting. I think it actually works in this track, so kudos for WWC for pulling this off. Good song. Sway back [...]
HanaH- “MATA WARATTE AETARA” PV short
Hold on to your derby hats. HanaH will blow you away with her super cute acoustic single “Mata Waratte Aetara.” Once again we only get part of the PV, but it’s enough to show HanaH’s vocal and guitar talents. She has a great voice! Color every fingernail and different color and look for her album [...]
Miila and the Geeks- Acoustic performance of “Superhero”
A live acoustic performance of “Superhero” by Miila and the Geeks! Count me in. Instead of spazzy saxophone, we get a spazzy flute! Toot toot! It totally drowns out the vocals! Buy New Age from US iTunes.
Lost in Time- “Grapefruit” PV
Wow. Lost in Time will blow you away with this acoustic performance of “Grapefruit.” The video is amazing too, and it’s simply just the band sitting down playing. I love the fact the drummer is just using his hands and not sticks. Awesome Awesome stuff. Find this as the last track on Lost in Time’s [...]
Led Naked- “Maple Syrup And then I” PV
UK Project Official is kind enough to release “Maple Syrup And then I” from Led Naked. I guess this is off the band’s last record “Anthems” released in July of 2011. Sure enough, you can’t really find it at the usual online retailers. Try the digital retailers? It would be worth the hunt, as this [...]
YeYe- “言う” UStream performance from her bathroom
YeYe is an odd bird with a beautiful voice. Just check out all the weird things in her bathroom. Colored lights, a fish in a jar, a fake parakeet. At least I think that bird is fake… Still, the camera folks and editors can put together a stunning video of this UStream performance. It also [...]
Tomoyuki Nagasawa- “Kasumisou” PV
Puppet Stage performance by the wonderful acoustic Tomoyuki Nagasawa! What a very cool looking PV, and a very cool puppet that looks like it was made out of paper mache! So how does a puppet show hold your interest? Using moving backgrounds and hopping frogs and butterflies and stuff! So cool. Oh the song “Kasumisou” [...]
Hata Motohiro- “End Roll” short PV ver. 2
Do you know what’s cold? Snow. What else is cold? Icicles and snowmen. What is really f’n freezing? Sitting next to the window on a non-insulated bus. No matter how much heat is generated through the bus heater, the windows on a bus are always going to be ICE COLD. I know that’s exactly what’s [...]
