Ho Ngoc Ha ft. Noo Phuoc Thinh (Hồ Ngọc Hà ft. Noo Phước Thịnh)

Singer and actress Hồ Ngọc Hà (originally got famous as a model) from Vietnam sings with Noo Phước Thịnh in a song that would have been perfect for the Eurovision Song Contest final on Saturday as its is engaging eurodisco with harmonic Vietnamese making it a nice dance track.

• Ho Ngoc Ha ft. Noo Phuoc Thinh - I will find you (Em Đi Tìm Anh)

Latvian pop: Markus Riva - Take Me Down

With the qualifications for the European Song Contest 2015 having started in Sweden, I can't help at least lifting one of the potential future competition. Markus Riva is an actor/dj/musician from Latvia and his music video (for the national competition) is quite an eye-feast. He won't probably be able to conwey this in the live performance, but still.

Mandopop: Amber (安心亞)

From the start Amber has had a following Taiwan for doing lots of modelling (think Akibahara/Tokyo otaku style) but gradually her music career has taken off too. The new Welcome to the party has her showing of a little more maturer style.

• Amber - Welcome to the Party/ Girls stand up! (女孩，站出來！)
• Amber - Sing For You (呼呼 官方完整)
• Amber - "Darling" (乖乖牌)
• Amber - "Just Dance" (唯舞)
• Amber - Tomorrow Without You (沒有你的明天)

Mandopop: Miu Miu (巩新亮)

Miu Miu has figured in several Chinese dramas/movies where "If You Are The One" are the most known, but she also is a singer. I have chosen her as her music videos is of a kinf "quality" that you may not expect from a Chinese video. I myself for a long time had this kind of impression of mainland Mandopop as rather innocent and often aestetically "pure/innocent/classically beautiful" videos of fair ladies, but China is pushing bravely forward and here is another example of it. Women in videos are expressing a wider spectra of sexuality, which follows the western path, be it good or not.

• Miu Miu - Dirty Little Secret
• Miu Miu - I'm outta control (失控的我)

Vietnamese pop: Ho Ngoc Ha (Hồ Ngọc Hà)

Vietnamese ex-model, now singer and actress, Ho Ngoc Ha sings with a Pharao theme in "From the day you go".

• Ho Ngoc Ha - From the day you go (Từ ngày anh đi)

Russian pop: Bianca - Alle Tanzen (Алле ТаZзен)

This is a really nice dancing video with russian singer/model Bianca going Shakira-style on us.Refreshingly direct in its appeal.

• Bianca - Alle Tanzen (Алле ТаZзен)

Jpop: Mademoiselle Yulia (マドモアゼル・ユリア)

Mademoiselle Yulia is a musician, DJ and fashionista from Tokyo that also writes. A classical modern japanese sub-culture celebrity, you could say.

• Medemoiselle Yulia - Harajuku Wander
• Mademoiselle Yulia - Midnight Express (only audio)
• Mademoiselle Yulia - Gimme Gimme by FaFi

Jpop: Una - Juicy Juicy

Well, I just had to share Una's debut as it just makes my eyes water from garishness and an general visual overload. Its obviously 80s retro which should attract me who grew up then, and it *is* in some sense fun, but a bit to much even for a fan of Japanese culture (even though some of it is explained as it will feature as an ad for Menthos candy).
