Hilcrhyme - パーソナル COLOR
At first Japanese didn't really seem like a suitable language for rap, it's too melodious. I think English and Korean are the best for it. Yet after listening to M-Flo I thought it might be ok. And this song I absolutely love, both the sound the meaning. I just saw the PV though and it's pretty funny)
Kagrra, - 四季
Kagrra, undoubtedly deserves its own post, but this song made its way straight into my heart, from the first time I heard it. It's really beautiful and soothing. I grew to love the sound of koto. I always link song with the PV especially if I like it and for me this song has a very distinct imagery. I listen to it whenever I'm passing some green scenery and that makes me feel really good.
Weezer - King
Initially I was looking for a song to go with the fanvideo I'm making and since I never do things half-assed I went through most of their discography. I have to say I kind of missed American music - more raw and solid sound. For some reason this song stuck with me the most. It has a country feel and really is unlike anything I normally listen to. But then maybe that's the charm.
Kenna - Chains
Kenna is the man. I kind of missed him. I really think he's seriously underrated. His music is quite simple but groovy and it's great for dancing. A quick check revealed he has yet to come up with a new album, but there are some good new songs out. Chains has a cool video to go with it and just makes me want to go clubbing really bad.
