Girugamesh – GO
GO is an experiment of an album. Girugamesh are a bit of an experiment as well. They’ve become a band that expresses their personality through their music.
Hula Girls
Hula Girls, set in the 1960s, follows a group of girls that set out to learn to hula dance in order to save their town from the decline of the coal mining industry. The heads of families are losing their jobs, and tensions arise from the fact that they want to open a Hawaiian center in a really cold city.
ViViD – Yume ~ Mugen no Kanata
ViVid is out with their first single of the year, Yume~ Mugen no Kanata
Girl Who Leapt Through Time, The
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time tells the story of Makoto Konno, your typical, tomboy-ish high school student. One day Makoto falls in a classroom and she suddenly has the ability to travel through time as she wishes.
Verbal – Visionair
Considering I jumped around on this album like a kid on a trampoline, it’s easy for me to say that I’m highly disappointed in Verbal’s first solo album.
Paco and the Magical Book
Tetsuya Nakashima’s Paco and the Magical Book tells the story of grumpy old Okunuki (Yakusho) as he enters a board meeting and is sent to a hospital, in which he meets a whole bunch of picturesque characters, including a little girl named Paco who can only retain memories for a day.
ViViD – Yume~Mugen no Kanata
It may be a short album, but there is a lot of promise held in those three songs. I hope ViViD shines as bright as their name soon.
Capsule – Player
PLAYER is the type of album you could imagine being played in movies and fashion shows. It’s very classy in its electronic/electropop genre. Capsule brings to you an album that you will surely enjoy dancing to.
Summer Wars
Summer Wars is part techie-adventure, part family-dramedy. Coming from Japan, home of some of the finest quality animation, it’s got luscious art and flawless animation technique.
