Kpop: CocoSori - Exquisite! (절묘해)

With their weird theme and special design latex clothes, the debut "Dark Circles" of CocoSori was very much worth noticing. The 2nd single "Exquisite!" keeps the colors and the clothes, switching theme to a correspondingly colorful American 40s look, but the song steps up the tempo significantly and adds odd almost metal-esque interludes now and then. It leaves me feeling the song is slightly schizophrenic but the video is still a "should see". Getting high on candy and fighting a cat boss with laser beam eyes is not to be denied...

Kpop: CocoSori (코코소리)

New duo CocoSori starts off with Dark Circles which is a great video if you like stuff like Orange Caramel and som jpop groups does - ie colorful and slightly weird in a cute way. They started of doing cosplay, which also gave them the chance to be the first kpop group to use Atsuko Kudo latex clothes.
The song's theme seems to be about how broccoli can cure dark circles but this theme is taken into a crazy direction by the broccoli being played by a green man giving it a kind of slight romantic undertone which is just great fun, especially as the girls play their roles with great gusto. They seem to have been into some cosplay too, but I'm not a 100% sure. Great start anyway!

Jpop: FEMM - Dead Wrong and Party All Night

FEMM keep releasing a ridiculous number of visually great videos, but while the first videos from earlier this summer/spring also had great tunes the last two releases "Party All Night" and "Dead Wrong" are not quite up to the same standard. But in this case it is somewhat like saying that the worst songs on a fantastic debut album wasn't quite as good - because normally they wouldn't even get a video, and even less this good. So cudos to Avex for doing this.
