| 7:00pm | Videos of the Week 9/20/09 | | | | Hondalady "In A Model Room"Found this one posted on Omodaka's site. Looks like he's doing a DJ set at an event with Hondalady. Anyway, this is a nice and simple video from Hondalady. I'm not sure what it has to do with P-Model's album In A Model Room though. ^__^Hit the jump for more!Polysics "Computer... |
| 6:00pm | Review: Katamari Forever OST | | | | Now, I'm no video games journalastic historianist, but I seem to remember that the very first Katamari Damacy game was something of a slow burn. In my own circle, it was the very definition of a word of mouth sensation. I had no idea what it was, but I had heard from a gradually growing number of people... |
| 5:00pm | Review: Floppy - Deus ex Machina | | | | FLOPPY is a chiptune/8-bit/electro project from Sharaku Kobayashi of Metronome and Hiromu Toda of Shinjuku Gewalt. Since 2004, they've been producing some of the best and craziest chip-fueled electro mayhem around. Their somewhat retro-futurist sound is highlighted by their goofy no-budget sci-fi costumes... |
| 1:00pm | Hosome | | | | If Melt Banana and The Aprils had sex at a carnival, Hosome might have been their bouncing baby beast. Given an overstuffed toy-box, some half-broken electronic gadgets and a metronome better suited from some sort of Lovecraftian ritual, that child would grow and produce this sort of childish yet intricate... |

| 1:00pm | ZB in Famitsu Weekly | | | | Otaku USA Magazine recently ran an open poll asking otaku from around the world to list a bunch of their favorite shows, manga, games etc. The poll was going to be run in an issue of Japan's Famitsu Weekly. That issue, September 25th, is out now! The nice people at Umagaruma posted a translation of the... |
| 1:00pm | Japanator Radio 104 | | | | Like a stinky camper shambling out of the woods and taking a nice hot shower, it's time for another reinvigorating episode of Japanator Radio! This week, we take a listen to some new Onmyouza and 9mm Parabellum Bullet, as well as take a look at some upcoming live appearances from Omodaka, Peelander-Z... |
| 10:00pm | Videos of the Week - 9/13/09 | | | | HOSOME "You Want To Be A HEN"Starting off this week we've got this one from HOSOME. The video for "You Want To eb A HEN" is just as colorful and crazy at the music. I'm not sure what's going on in either, but I know I like it. From the chiptune intro to the cut-up garage rock guitars, there's a little... |
| 2:00pm | Plasticzooms | | | | Plasticzooms is a dingy goth rock band from Japan. Much like Lillies and Remains (more on them in a second) the band blends late '70s and early '80 goth punk with more modern-day post-punk with electro flourishes (My Bloody Valentine, Bauhaus etc) Their production seems to be intentionally gritty most... |
| 11:05pm | Japanator Radio 103 | | | | Ooohhh yeah, four day weekends do not help with meeting deadlines or living up to expectations. I am late. But still better than never! This week, new music from Capsule, NICO Touches the Walls and a rare Omodaka remix of a Perfume song, as well as a look at the new album from Base Ball Bear in the... |
| 8:50pm | Videos of the Week 9/6/09 | | | | Omodaka and 6%DokiDoki Shop GirlsStarting off this week, here's a look at what you may have seen at the recent Japan Girls Live event on the west coast. Omodaka took the stage along with some of the girls from 6%DokiDoiki. This isn't from that exact event, this is from something previous to that. But... |
| 9:30pm | Clean of Core | | | | Clean of Core is perhaps the closest spiritual successor to Downy since the latter's split many years ago. The main difference being that while Downy incorporated vocals into much of their work, Clean of Core is strictly instrumental. Yet the same dark and intense post-rock vibe runs in their veins.... |
| 8:00pm | Nuito | | | | Japan's Nuito is to post-rock as Fantomas is to metal. If you find that sentence a little confusing, how about this. Think tiny bits of complicated, tempo jumping musical blasts, all linked together by the thinnest of threads. In the case of Fantomas, they grind out a mountain of furious micro-metal.... |
| 1:30pm | Japanator Radio 102 | | | | OK, now that we have all the sappy 100th show love-fest crap out of the way, we can get back to the regularily scedualed mix of new and old music. Finally! Man, let me tell you, playing music you guy specifically want to hear is such a drag! (I'm kidding.) This week, new music from iLL, Abingdon Boys... |
| 5:33pm | Videos of the Week 8/30/09 | | | | Molice "Headphone"Here's the new video from Molice! These guys have released a lot of videos for their debut album, but this one looks like one of the best. We don't get much other than some nice shots of the band in action, but hey, that's good enough! Obviously it's enough for the guy playing with... |
