Kpop: SF9 (에스에프나인)

The boys of kpop boy band SF9 debuted in 2016 but the song "O Sole Mio" from their latest album "Knights of the Sun" is the first really good video from them, it's hit material for sure. It has a kind of scifi theme going for it to, which works fine too.

Jpop: Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Problem Girl (Mondai Girl / もんだいガール)

Last year gave us a kind of farewell song from Kyary Pamyu Pamyu with "Yume no Hajima Rin Rin" followed by "Family Party" and "Kira Kira Killer" which to be honest didn't to seem to be that different from before. This year she starts off with "Mondai Girl", which is the theme song for the rather successful TV series "Mondai no Aru Restaurant". Mondai means 'problem' and the restuarant is a restuarant with Many Problems...anyway, the video sees her both in her classic whimsical and colorful costumes but also a kind of futuristic goth/emo girl.
