Jpop: Masatoshi Hamada/Hamada Bamyu Bamyu

This is really a kind of Japanese internal joke as you really have to have a knowledge about Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and her wild style and prescence in modern japanese pop culture, as Hamada Bamyu Bamyu is a parody of her by comedian Masatoshi Hamada. And of corse, if you make a parody of something looking like hallucinations, it has to be crazy. Which it is, but it also a kind of celebration of Kyary as Masatoshi has used both her stylist (Sebastian Masuda) and songwriter (Yasutaka Nakata) in the production. ;-)

Jpop: Capsule (カプセル)

I have finally come round to the man behind the music of a number of Japanese acts like Perfume, Ami Suzuki and Kyaru Pamyu Pamyu, and his "own" band Capsule which he has together with singer Toshiko Koshijima. The one I am speaking of is Yasutaka Nakata and I am glad he and Capsule finally has released a video, World of Fantasy, that actually feels more "real". More of that, please. My personal favorite is "I'm feeling you".

• Capsule - World of Fantasy
• Capsule - I'm feeling you 
• Capsule - Jumper
• Capsule - Another World
• Capsule - Sugarless Girl
• Capsule - Hello
• Capsule - More! More! More!
