Jpop: Polysics - Dr Pepper!!!!!

I wrote about the funny people of alternative japanese trio Polysics two years ago mainly to share their very funny video "I Me My Mine" from 2005. Mostly the oddness is to great, but this new video is so fun I have to share it.

Jpop: Saku

Guitar-indie girl Saku was slightly interesting with Zombie Morning last summer, but it is with the new "Fight Like A Girl" that the harmonies of she and her support band lifts to a level of really being worth noticing. I especially like the low key sounds and orchestrations that reminds me of the best of grunge with Saku's voice hovering over it.

Jpop: Charisma.com - Kongara Girl (こんがらガール)

The cool girl in duo Charisma.com does a promotional video (for hair brushes Tangle Teezers) where they are (a kind of odd) super heroes. Kind of...anyway, with lots of their usual attitude and "who cares".

Kpop: Girl's Generation - Catch Me If You Can

I quite liked their "Mr Mr" last winter but some of the korean super girl group SNSD's efforts the last few years have been so-so. But the new "Catch Me If You Can" is really something worth watching. This is actually one of the best choregraphed music videos I have ever seen, and I mean it just that way - this was really made for watching, I was transfixed for the whole first watch, and its honeslty not mainly to do with them being nice looking, but even more so because of how well it is cut and timed with the music. It ironically reminds me of TVXQ's superb video with the similar name "Catch Me", another masterpiece of kpop arranged around cool dancing.

Jpop: Perfume - Pick Me Up

Perfume's new single is here, and "Pick Me Up" is a great single that I just know will be  a great live song, they will rock this song! The video and lyrics is most probably a tie in to some kind of clothing brand/chain but it doesn't matter as it's a beautiful fantasy for us Perfume fans. I can't wait to see them live again!
