Omodaka

Posted on 30. Jul, 2008 @ 8:18 am by harvey in Media, Music

Just listening to some new electronic Japanese music by a group called Omodaka that I got from HearJapan. HearJapan featured them as their July artist and has a very informtive write up of the group and their music, including lots of embedded music videos.

You must see the “glitch dance” video from the song “kyoteizinc”.

Very cool. Note, the track from this video is not on the latest OMODAKA album, but it’s the track called “kyoteizinc (video mix)” on the Favorite Games album. As stated on HearJapan…

This video features Masako Yasumoto doing a glitch dance. Be sure to watch the breakdown at 2:00 and the water effects that follow

Indeed.

The review on HearJapan is very extensive. I could hardly hope to add anything to it here, so just go read it! Fun, fun music.

    Right on eroc, actually HearJapan has that video on the top of their OMODAKA feature as well. Still though, I like the glitch dance myself! I also love the Kyotei boat racing green wireframe video.
    Great stuff.

    This band really does an awesome job with their visuals!

    Almost 4 years ago I checked “Monkey Turn” and that funny “Yosawya San” tune… but I forgot the name of the artist so I couldn’t go further… now checking your blog I’ve found it!
    Thanks!

    As a retribution I recommend you “Mountain Mocha Kilimanjaro”.

    Hi Harvey,

    Just checked out Hear Japan again. They’ve added a lot of new content, but… still no 演歌 category :(
