Today’s video-of-the-day features DIAURA with “Shitsu Tsubasa no Seiiki.” This is my first time hearing this band, but I’m already really drawn to their sound and style. Their clothes are really ornate with lots of layers, and the music, while still rock, isn’t too heavy—it has a light feel to it. The vocalist, Yo-ka, also sings with a very mellow tone. More »

Today’s video-of-the-day features 80’s rock legend LUNA SEA missing you in “Love Song.” I couldn’t help myself since this is the month of love and romance and all that… Oh the things you miss out on when you don’t have a boyfriend.

The PV has some very artful camera angles… really nice close-ups on the sweaty members of the band among other images. More »

Today’s video-of-the-day features alter-ego band MY DRAGON, and they have a “Nijigen Complex.” They are the alternate of VK group Kiryu (check out their original style in a previous PV of the Day post). Alter-ego bands are usually very shocking in appearance (I have found), and MY DRAGON is no different… Half the time I wonder why I’m watching this PV, while on the other hand, I’m so amused that I just keep hitting the replay button. And yes, these are all men making fun of the princess theme. More »
