Jpop: Oresama - Trip Trip Trip

My liking for Oresama keep increasing for every time the duo evolves their special brand of happy comic styled vides and songs where the singer Pon really has managed to find her special id that differentiates her from the legion of happy young idols out there in jpop, of course helped by the composer Kojima Hideya. The new "Trip Trip Trip" is maybe their best video so far, and I don't even care which anime it is for this time, the video stands so well on its own.

Jpop: Sekai no Owari (せかいのおわり)

Sometimes you start off on the wrong side. Me and Sekai no Owari was like that. When I heard their "RPG" some years ago I decided they were pretentious and not very good anyway. And so it remained. Then when I was checking others 'best of 2015' lists I couldn't help getting curious about their "Anti Hero" from last summer, the main theme for the Attack on Titan film. I have to admit that this is really good. Both the styling and more importantly the music is, well, cool. And that piano by Saori really kills. In general the videos of Sekai no Owari are visual feasts and well worth watching anyways.
