Jpop: FEMM - L.C.S.

FEMM has released the video "L.C.S.", the follow up to "Pow!" and the second of the two previously unreleased songs on their first album "Pow! / L.C.S. + Femm-Isation", released this month. I'm not sure what the acronym stands for but it could well be "Local Coordinate System" if I was to judge from the video, again a well defined and thought through concept performed by the 'dolls' of FEMM.

Mandopop: Jam Hsiao (蕭敬騰)

Jam Hsiao from Taiwan (that acted in the likeable movie My Geeky Nerdy Buddies) has had a couple of run-of-the-mill hits (see Marry Me below) that in my world isn't worth mentioning. Then he releases "Zombie All-Stars", and we have a completely new deal. This odd video is a song about Plants vs Zombies, the hugely popular computer game that has zombies trying to invade the players lawn, who of course fights back with plants (sic)! This is faithfully reproduced with live actors, and with a music track that is both strangely at odds with the (cute but) dark theme and at the same time somehow suitable.
