Jpop: Wagakki Band - Strong Fate

Wagakki Band don't just revel in historical/fantasy Japanese culture in their looks and videos, they really own the concept as they combine rock guitars and drums with classical japanese instruments to deliver music that is distinctly theirs. That said, their videos is really worth watching in themselves, the music and Yuuko's song acting as a perfect companion to the visual drama.

Jpop: Natsu no Mamono - Demon Bom-Ba-Ye

I usually know I will get happy when I get to see a new video from Natsu no Mamono, and the new video is no exception. Their combination of crazy cosplay and intensive and passionate singing is an addictive mix.

Jpop: Band-Maid - The non-fiction days

From the coming album "Brand New MAID" comes Band-Maid's single "The non-fiction days". Again I must say I can't find a better niche than being an all-female, japanese, maid-cosplaying, metal band. Seriously. #nerdheaven
