July Song of the Week 4

I've had this stuck in my head all week.  I really think Gumi's voice does this song really well.  The pronunciation of the words captures the image of the childhood friend stereotype perfectly.

If you don't know, Gumi is a vocaloid.  But I think in this song it's harder to tell a vocaloid is being used.

July Song of the Week 3

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate this song.  But I really don't like the story delivered.  "Can I have your daughter's hand in marraige?  No?  Then screw you, I'm going to marry her anyways!"

...sigh... if it weren't for that I would like this song so much better...

I just can't shake how unbelievably catchy this song is.  I listened to it once, and somehow managed to memorize the chorus hearing it once.  And sang it for the rest of the day.  And the next day.   And the day after.

July Song of the Week 2

Mili is one of my current favorite bands.  They have such a unique style.   The composers have obviously studied in the classical style, but bring Japanese contemporary music and modern electronic elements to their music.  And, their songs are quite diverse.
Here is one of the first ones I heard from them.

July Song of the Week 1

Remember the Alice in Musicland from the last Song of the Week?  I thought I would stick with that theme.

Again, it's not your typical Disney-formula song.  This is real good stuff for people to get into jazz.  Oscar Peterson is a piano beast.
