Aldious
Kanasii Otoko
This past Monday, the Kanasii Otoko MV was uploaded to youtube and I was stoked to check it out as I've enjoyed Aldious's past MV's and I needed my J-Rock fix. Musically this rock track is fueled by the mesmerizing vocals of Re:NO and the amazing guitar riffs of Yoshi & Toki, not to mention a solid guitar solo by Yoshi towards the end of the song. Visually this MV doesn't do anything too outrageous, it sticks to a live performance setting with the focus on the band adorned in sexy outfits and accented with colorful stage lighting. I dug it, the song has grown on me and the video is pretty good overall, check it out!
GANG PARADE
GANG 2
GANG 2 was uploaded to youtube this past Monday and I gotta say this is definitely my MV of the week! What makes this entry so awesome is that Haruna and Tsukino who recently joined GANG PARADE make their MV debut in this. Musically the track is harnessed by excellent vocals by all the young ladies and the beats will keep your head bobbing for sure. Visually this MV is a treat, showcasing GANG PARADE's new outfits (hoodies & long skirts) and an emphasis on group member Saki who is depicted in a phantom-like projection throughout most of the video until nearing the end she dons her hoodie and is presented "in the flesh". Quite possibly this is in reference to her temporary departure from the group and her eventual rejoining, this MV certainly makes it official!
This gets heavy rotation at my place, I say watch it!
Ayumikurikamaki
Zanzou Flashback
This past Tuesday Ayumikurikamaki dropped their latest MV on youtube, Zanzou Flashback and this was a welcome surprise as I've really enjoyed their past videos. Musically the track is furiously uptempo, graced with rocking drums and heavy guitar riffs, the vocals are quite catchy as well. Visually this MV is a lot of fun, the trio find themselves going to jail, being led in handcuffs to their personal cage where they opt to rocking out in their prison jumpsuits. A fight eventually breaks out and we are treated to the girls taking on the biggest baddest inmate. The song is lots of fun and the video is a blast, definitely watch it!
Shihatsumachi Underground
夜の終わりに (At the end of the Night)
This past Thursday Shihatsumachi Underground uploaded 夜の終わりに to youtube and I was very eager to check it out as I'm not very familiar with this group but did enjoy their previous MV release. Musically this track starts off very bluesy and transitions to rock very effectively and the vocal chorus is a highlight for me but I did crave for more lyrically. Visually this MV has a dark inner city atmospheric tone with the majority taking place in an empty restaurant with the girls performing on a small stage overlooking the cluttered tables. The random city infused still shots that adorn this MV's bleak tone add a nice touch. Overall, this song is a bit hypnotic and the video is pretty good, check it out!

Last minute addition as this one slipped past my radar during the week but I have included it here anyway, enjoy!
