New Omodaka on Tuesday!
This release snuck up on me, but I’ll be picking this album up from Hear Japan the day it comes out.
You can hear some clips of the new CD on Hear Japan’s website, and there is a slick video of the lead track, Plum Song.
Hrm… that was rather suggestive…
As you heard, Omodaka mixes this 8-bit modern sound with traditional Japanese enka vocals. Sounds weird, but it works doesn’t it?
The vocals are done by Akiko Kanazawa, a talented enka singer in Japan. She has also done some Anime stuff as well.
And for those of you who haven’t seen it, one of my favorite Omodaka videos…
Hot!

I love 8-bit but only listen to it when I’m in a very special state of mind. This song is sweet, and the ‘Kyoteizinc’ clip is amazing – and amazing dancing!

Really looking forward to this! Currently my favorite is probably Fortunate 1 Mark or perhaps Kokirikobushi^^
