Coltemonikha is yet another electro project from producer Nakata Yasutaka, the man behind Capsule and Perfume, among others. This time he brings along vocalist Sakai Kate to add the sugary frosting to the Daft Punk-like beats and Pizzacato Five sense of style. Coltemonikha is almost an exact replica of the aforementioned bands. In a blind taste test I would be very hard-pressed to tell the difference between songs like Coltemonikha's "Sora Tobu Hikari," Capsule's "Sugarless Girl" and Perfume's "Computer City." They are essentially the same song. Not that there's anything wrong with that. A good pop/dance/electro song is a good pop/dance/electro song is a good op/dance/electro song, and Nakata Yasutaka has the formula down to a science.

Thank you so much ZB for the info on Coltemonikha. What a great find! I'm a huge Perfume/Capsule fan so I will definitely be looking to getting their album. The YouTube clip is a bit wacky as it's Coltemonikha's music but Utada Hikaru's "Traveling" PV, go figure...Let me also thank you for this awesome site. I'm a huge J-Pop fan as well so I love being able to read up on all the newest groups. Definitely would like to see entries for groups like Babamania, SEAMO, Anna Tsuchiya and Hinoi Team or perhaps even some 80s idol/ groups. Please keep up the good work...Cheers!
