I saw a small college ska band tonight. Interesting to see young Japanese guys playing The Specials and stuff. Also, a Ska cover of James Bond. I vote that it should be called James Skand.
Reminds me that Streetlight Manifesto is coming over in just a couple months with that Japanese bassist I met at the jazz club last month.

I don't remember when it is exactly or where. Next month in Tokyo? Two months from now?
There was quite a few ska covers of James Bond in the 60s, Roland Alphonso in particular famously recorded the James Bond Theme and From Russia With Love
edit: just remembered that Roland also played on The Skatalites "Ringo", which bizarrely was a cover of the 50s song "Ringo Oiwake" by legendary singer Misora Hibari!
There's a crowdfunding campaign ongoing for translations of the Bellring & YMM movies, one crazy person has already paid off the Bellring side of things!

never underestimate how rabid BRGH fans can be, I guess. it'll be interesting to see if the YMM movie makes the goal. the BRGH movie is definitely the better of the two though IMO.

Aaa you must be going to one of these shows:
Also saw Suiyoubi no Campanella at j-pop summit last night, and she was the best performance at the fest, there was alot of crowd interaction, alot of enerygy.
Also bought her UMA, Jipang and Watashi... albums.
Here is a video of her in a plastic bubble during Momotaro

The closest AKB and Turquoise Jeep will probably ever be. I'm assuming she just searched the gif thing for "dance" but whatever it made me laugh.
Yeah I love them!

There are still a lot of videos online. Only a few were removed.
I like this also very much. I'm excited to listen to their first album.

I'm glad we can see them now cause I love how the bassist and the guitarist move
Maybe I'm a weirdo but musicians's body language is important to me!

Just bought their newly released best-of. While I think some song choices are odd (no Sensei, no RDM, no Plug In Head...) it's still a pleasure to re-discover these guys through 30 songs and they'll always be an important band to me.

Relevant to Kurita's world, I met a French group touring in Japan on the train just now. They were apparently at Fujirock. One of the vocalists is half French, half Japanese. I'll check 'em out when I get home.

He's waiting for you. When you see him live tell him that you sent that letter. I've had very good experiences with Japanese musicians, and I'm sure you'll have some awesome stories when you're studying abroad.
My coolest thing was meeting Taku from Nothing's Carved in Stone at the hookah bar and being invited to a a show for free and meeting him backstage. He was incredibly nice to me. I'm sure you'll have even cooler things happen!

After having a good experience with DAOKO, I decided to give a chance to 水曜日のカンパネラ this week, even though I don't really like Rap/Hip-Hop. I went from it's okay to I LOVE THIS in a couple of days. UMA and ジパング are soooooo gooooood. I really need to give more chances to stuff...
Yeaaah, they are really good. I'm also loving the direction they are taking in their last couple of releases.
I found a pretty awesome record shop yesterday. I'm sure a few of you would really love this one.
They also had a huge new wave section.
Nice, where abouts is it?
