New Videos

#1) Miyavi - "Kekkonshiki no Uta" live at PopJam, October 28, 2005. I love this song. It was one of my first Miyavi songs... I watched the video and, though a bit overwhelmed by its strangeness (and Miyavi's height), I liked it. It's a nice song. Upbeat and fun. The video is funny, too. You can watch it at this link. And though overwhelmed by Miyavi's strangeness in the music video, the live I posted here is overwhelmingly cute... Because that's just how Miyavi is. Hyper, a bit strange, and cute as a puppy. #2) Gackt = "Redemption" live on Music Station (sometime within the past year or so, since Redemption is one of his newest songs). This is a short song, and Gackt has cornrows (which, and I didn't think this was possible, but it's true, they make him kind of unattractive. He's not really pretty with cornrows... He looks old)... But I like the song, and the outfit is interesting... The music video can be seen here. It's odd that the live version I posted is a full minute shorter than the video version... Anyways, good song... I think I posted it here once before, actually. Rock beat, strong vocals, and Gackt is as spazzy as ever during the instrumentals... #3) Pierrot - "Follower" live at Sweet Trance 2001. This is a good song. The visual doesn't hurt either... Kirito in his cute little midriff top and the low pants... The blue stripe on his arm is interesting, too. But anyways, good song, rock, Kirito's vocals are a little funny in this version compared to the version I have on DVD, but it's not bad. Anyways, I read somewhere that this song was written about some cult that apparently was a big thing in Japan once, causing problems and such... I didn't read the lyrics though... 'fraid of being brainwashed... And Kirito's words never make sense to me anyways. Anyways, so, give 'em a shot. I spent an hour looking through videos, watching them, posting them, and writing these descriptions, so I'd better get some appreciation... I wasted an hour of my writing time because I realized I was supposed to post new videos on Sunday and didn't... And now it's 1 AM on Monday. So watch & comment! Enjoy some of Japan's finest (well, in my opinion they are). ~SJ
