The ending theme to the new dorama Hachimitsu to Clover (Honey and Clover) is Canvas by Ken Hirai. Honey and Clover is by far my favorite anime and I have extremely high hopes for this series. I like this song and think it fits with the feeling of the series and I hope they use music as effectively throughout the dorama as in the anime. Read the rest of this entry ?
I’ve seen this video too many times to count at this point. The song, Tsubomi, is by the Jpop duo Kobuburo. I happened to come across this song watching the 2007 Music Station Super Live and remember thinking, “Damn, these suckas can sing!” After the show I went searching for the video, as well as as many song as I could get my hands on. These guys are one of my favorite groups at the moment and I think they won song of the year for this one.
Now, if I spoke Japanese this video would probably come across more sentimental and touching, but since I don’t, this is just some badass hand puppeteering. Never seen anything like it. I can’t even do a stupid rabbit and these folks are recreating violent nature videos.
Good times.
