Videos of the Week

Going to kick off a new feature today, the rather self-explanatory "Videos of the Week."

Every week, I'll round up a few of the videos that have caught my eye. They'll be a mix of new and old and not always Japanese, though you can rest assured that most of them will be about Japanese music.

Without further ado, here's the first one:

Mouse on the Keys "Saigo no Bansan"


This is the first I've heard of these guys, and it totally blew me away. The song is cool, but this video really takes it to a whole new level. I absolutely love its dark, gritty Noir feel. Perfect.

Hit the jump for more!



Polysics "Young Oh! Oh!


New single from Polysics. Absolutely crazy, as usual. Seriously, just try and follow the logic of this one. You can't! There isn't any!



I don't remember now where I got the link to this, probably someone on Twitter. New music from Hiroshi Sakaue, a singing grandpa, slathered with Auto Tune. Weird.

History of Buck-Tick


A 10 part history of the very early Buck-Tick days, all in English! A must watch for any BT fan, to be sure.

Susumu Hirasawa "Solar Ray 2" Live


A mesmerizing live solar-powered performance from electro genius Susumu Hirasawa. I could listen to the into forever.

9mm Parabellum Bullet "Punishment" and "Discommunication" Live


A brutal live performance from the always intense 9mm Parabellum Bullet.

Faith No More - Reunion Show at Brixton Academy


And speaking of live...Back after a million years, here are the first two songs from the recent Faith No More reunion show. Amazing stuff!
