I'VE GOT TUMBLR
Sorry guys i've moved to tumblr just as that's where all my other shit is. www.jvideo.tumblr.com
SpecialThanks
Special Thanks is a pop-punk band from Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The band currently consists of Misaki (vocals & guitar), Sean (guitar & chorus), Lupin (bass & chorus) and Nochi (drums). Special Thanks formed in 2005 and has gone through various lineup changes before even releasing their first album, Seven Colors, in August 2008.
However I'm currently rocking out to the albums "Seven Lovers" and "Seven Showers". Both albums are full of catchy powerpop rock songs. Misaki's vocals are beautiful and the overall guitar tones are superb!

The Milkees
The Milkees are my choice for today. The Milkees are four piece 60s influenced all girl band from Kobe, Japan. They sing both in Japanese and English and there's usually a few covers of classic songs on there albums. The instrumentation isn't going to make you think "WOW THIS IS THE BEST THING SINCE BREAD (yeah before sliced)", the thing that they have down is harmonies. The harmonies on all of there albums are perfect, they are proper 1960s soul girl group style, fantastic!!!

Bigmama
My new find this week - Bigmama. To sum the band up to people who dont really know anything about Bigmama. The easiest way to describe them is "A Japanese Yellowcard". If you dont know who yellowcard are....then... pop punk with a violin.
I've downloaded: Short Films, Lost and Leave and Roclassick. Roclassik is a very clever mini album. The band have taken well known classical songs and mixed in lyrics and pop punk. Fantastic!

Uplift Spice
I can't get enough of this band at the moment.
Uplift Spice are a 4 piece female fronted j-rock/emo/punk band. I hate putting "emo" as my experience of "modern" emo has mainly been a bad one, and this isn't modern emo. But that's the tag they give themselves.
Their albums Memento and Paradigm Shift are getting a lot of play on my iPod at the moment. Really clever, powerful stuff.
