JPop: lecca: Otaku Girls no Utage

Let me introduce you to lecca (strangely lowercase, none of that formal names for this girl). She’s Japanese and she makes super catchy dancehall JReggae. She’s been around since 2005, with her debut, Fire. I didn’t manage to listen to any of her earlier albums. What I do have is her latest album, Otaku Girls no Utage . If I am not mistaken, Otaku Girls no Utage should mean “Homegirls’ Songs Banquet” or something to that effect. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Anyway, the tracks on Otaku Girls no Utage are very catchy and cheerful. Attached below is a sample of the second track, Starting line for your enjoyment. It’s pretty catchy, and if it doesn’t bore a hole into your skull, then you’re dead to me. Click play to check it out.

Edit: Farkdammit, it looks like my blog can’t handle Japanese characters properly at all.

Music: Crash by The Primitives

Just watched Mr. Bean’s Holiday last night, irritated me no end, seeing how some of the situations were so contrived and forced, made me cringe. Thankfully, Atkinson mentioned that this will be Bean’s last appearance. Let’s hope it remains that way. The only redeeming grace of the entire thing was the inclusion of the track “Crash” on the soundtrack. Originally performed by The Primitives, I first came across this track on the film Dumb and Dumber (which I enjoyed, sue me!) and it has stuck by me all this time. Now that it was resurrected, I’m attaching it here for your enjoyment.

Music: Oh! Edo Rocket OP1: Oh Edo Nagareboshi IV - PUFFY

This track is so addictive, it has been playing over and over in my head. Somebody please save me.

Taken from Madhouse’s 2007 anime series Oh! Edo Rocket, which I’ve watched episode 1 only, this opening song is super-bubbly and genki. Let’s see if the anime can match up to the opening.

JPop: BONNIE PINK - Thinking Out Loud

Album cover: BONNIE PINK - Thinking Out Loud

BONNIE PINK has a new album out, called Thinking Out Loud. Am listening to it as I am writing this right now. Pretty mellow tunes. Really enjoy listening to it. Just nice for a cosy evening in with nothing to do except read. And sleep. As an appetizer, check out a PV of her hit, A Perfect Sky after the jump.
