Well, Space Pilgrims, sometimes it happens but for a person like me who listen to a lot of indie, alt, rock, and pop stuff from Japan, today was just a full on storm of new music by artists whose music I have really enjoyed in the past.
We’ll get to “Spotlight” but first let’s consider Leo Ieiri’s “Echoes” — probably my favorite song by her since “Ame Kaze Sora Niji” — komsume’s “OK”, and Takeshi Yamada’s “At the Edge of the Voyage”. All three are strong contenders. komsume possibly hurts the most to skip, so take that as you will.
Let’s take a look at the song that I went with for today:
In my review of For as a whole, I mentioned that I felt it was an afternoon album perfect for bouncing off bricks and bookcases. I think “Spotlight” and its video help to demonstrate what I mean.
My Music Video Picks [MVP] is a series of posts highlighting various music and dance videos from Youtube (usually). No particular schedule (sometimes lots, sometimes little). It might not even all be music or dance videos. Absolutely picked by me, though. Usually I have to like both the song and the video, but we’ll see.
You can see the most recent songs here: [Doug’s] Music Video Picks [Youtube Playlist]. Size of that list will change as the mood strikes. Playlist might contain spoilers for unpublished posts. Just enjoy.
