Jpop: Mito Natsume (三戸なつめ)

Anyone familiar with Perfume, when listening to Mito Natsume one can hear some similarities, because they share the same producer, the famous Nakata Yasutaka. Natsume has her own almost anti-glamorous style which isn't totally about doing crazy stuff either, rather it is about being a rather "normal" but goofy girl, which is very refreshing.

• Mito Natsume - I cut my bangs to short (前髪切りすぎた - 白菜篇-)
• Mito Natsume - I cut my bangs to short (前髪切りすぎた - 容疑者篇-)
• Mito Natsume - I cut my bangs to short (前髪切りすぎた - たわし篇-)

Jpop: Perfume - Sweet Refrain

Japanese Perfume have released the full length version of their video to Sweet Refrain (from their latest album,  Level3), a song that will be played for the second season of the drama "Toshi densetsu no on'na". As usual the three are dancing in synchronized and stylized movements, and this time they use trick photography to duplicate themselves. As a follow up to 1mm from the same album the song is a little more average in quality, but by no means bad. Its more a case of 1mm having a more special soundscape.

• Perfume - Sweet Refrain

Mandopop: Jeannie Hsieh (謝金燕)

Daughter of Taiwanese comedian Chu Ke-liang and known for her beautiful legs, Jeannie Tsieh keeps on going strong at 40 years of age. I really find her electropop video "Sister" enjoying in its own manner. Reminds me of some of the videos from the late 80s. Semi-kitchy but nice to watch at the same time.

• Jeannie Hsieh - Sister
• Jeannie Hsieh - To Be Mature (要發達)
• Jeannie Hsieh - Boom Boom Par (蹦X趴)

Jpop: Perfume - 1mm

Thx, Random J Pop

Perfume has released the lead track "1mm" from new album "Level3" in full version. The resolution is still only 480p so I wont be posting any pictures, but I have posted a lyrics version as small compensation. Again Perfume delivers their trademark synced dancing and computerized singing. And I love it. (^_^)

• Perfume - 1mm (with english and japanese lyrics)
• Perfume - 1mm (DJLizard 8bit cover)

Thx, Asian Junkie
