I love their music, but OK Go consistently make the most amazing music videos I have ever seen. They have done it yet again with The One Moment, watch this one and see if you don’t agree. Then watch the next few videos, which will give you insight into their creation process.
I have to say Osaka band ЯeaL lead singer and songwriter Ryoko can definitely belt out a tune. Their first album came out in 2014 under the name Change Your ЯeaL, with this first track being called Senaka Awase. The amazing part of this group is not so much that they were in high school together when they wrote and recorded the track in 2012, but they went on to win a major music competition against a lot of older, more experienced, and better known bands, and signed a record deal before they even graduated. The second track is called Opposite Words, and is also from that same time period. Grown and graduated now, they are still rocking out, but sadly their record company has flagged all the music they wrote under contract as not available for viewing in my country, so I can’t share the rest of it here. The good news is you can grab their newer music on iTunes.
I have been looking forward to Moana, and it finally kicks off today! How about a few of the songs just to get you ready? The first is We Know The Way, written and performed by Opetaia Foa‘i and Lin-Manuel Miranda, the second is How Far I’ll Go sung by Alessia Cara, and they are both addictive little tunes you will not be able to get out of your heads very quickly.
The band MetaFive gets better with every new song they release, and they were excellent to start off with. The first track is the Studio Live version of Chemical posted on November 2nd, the second is Musical Chairs posted 5 days later on the 7th. Both songs are from their latest release: METAHALF, a five track MiniAlbum.
A great little J-Rock band out of Tokyo, Chu’s Day has released more music since I posted last time, so here are a few more tracks. The first is Hip Hip Hooray which went online in August, the second is HOT GIRL from July, and the third is Glory Days
They are Steampunk music at its finest, and Abney Park has a new album called Under The Floor, Over The Wall which goes on sale today. The first track is Your Escape, the second is No Way Out, both from the new album.
