Mini- Two of Us PV

David Simoneaux

Mini returns with a PV for the single “Two of Us” where we see clips of couples in love intercut with Mini singing out alone on her couch and possibly not wearing pants. Because when you are alone in your house, who needs pants anyway. It’s a cute song. Look for it on Recochoku. Hopefully it will be part of a physical single later on. Read more at Mini’s website and blog. Continue reading Mini- Two of Us PV

Each of the Days. President’s Day. Goodbye Mr. Yesterday. Should be hardcore everyday. Dig into “Event Horizon.” Hey that’s the name of a sci-fi movie! There is nothing sci-fi about Each of the Days.

DJ PMX -Next Door PV

David Simoneaux

DJ PMX can’t escape the cameras in his video for “Next Door featuring 大地、Cherry Brown、ONE-G、and pukkey.” The song is what I would classify as POP friendly R&B/rap, but it’s very good for what it is. Catchy chorus, somewhat thuggish, but message-oriented. Good stuff. Get “Next Door” on DJ PMX’s new album LocoHama Cruising 003 (2 CD’s worth of music) was released 2.9.2011. Grab it at Yesasia.com or CDJapan. Learn more about DJ PMX at his myspace and DS455 official website. Continue reading DJ PMX -Next Door PV
