I did not remember this PV being so racy, or late 00s.
Oh wow, it's fourteenwings, but not J-pop!
Like... tigers don't "blast out" or say "blaaaw!"
There are official "lyrics" to the Doctor Who opening credits music.
I don't know why this was a thing.
I like this song, I guess? It's very catchy in the tropical house way most of the songs from this movie were, but it sure has lyrics that are relevant to goings on ("Get sick, get ill!!!!").
They still have the same magician, which somehow surprises me.
I know, right?
I miss ALTIMA music videos and their intensely random guest stars.
Nanjo's voice? The various slight retunes in the main track? I mean, this was a big song for a long time so it should be easy to hear the small differences.
On December 15, 2012, the world achieved a state in which a video was made featuring Vítězslava Kaprálová's Military Sinfonietta with an anime image on the cover.
It's one of these bands that often make their way into sovietwave compilations, although I have a feeling they would rather be regarded as an electronics band. But then, I don't know. Anyway it's good electronics regardless of your stance on Soviet nostalgia.
By the way, that second song there is brilliant.
I find that new wave has a real beauty to some of it's movements that remind me of that free-wheeling way of the 80s and 90s (well, 80s and 90s movies I've seen). Like... when Eddie Murphy wasn't trying to be excessively silly, if that makes sense? (I mean, I've barely even seen any Eddie Murphy movies).
Some of my other favorites.
In keeping with new, faux retro. I heard this recently, it's pretty great.
Recently there's been some talk in cultural circles. A name to watch for is Mark Fisher; the dude came up with an idea that a) now that we have ready access to culture created in the past, it's harder and harder for any creator to create something new and good; b) teh ebul capatilists made it so it is harder to survive for an artist on a dime. I'm not sure about the second, the first seems to be an interest-worthy claim. It's about this whole nostalgic thread in general, but it began with a discussion on music.
I actually assumed this was why dolphin/cat noises and EDM breakdowns became a thing in mainstream pop. It's different from what came before.
I think my main issue is that instead of allowing a proliferation of everything at one, humanity still follows trends, and no amount of tech will help that.
You know, music is really weird about this. Of course, you have to have the star who sings and sells records, but there's a giant machine that makes even a chunk of that start to happen.
A serious problem is that musicians must specialize in their art and work at it basically all day, and therefore they can't participate in the business side of things in a competent manner.
A weird funny example would be like... the Kardashians (or the Paris Hilton/Nicole Ritchie wagon that came before that). Without the Kardashian Matriarch running point, that whole thing would have collapsed by now. It's why you see a lot of musicians with momagers succeeding way longer than others. Destiny's Child was run by Beyonce's dad. Gee, I wonder which one of those people still sings...
That is to say, the person who is interacting with the business side has the artist's best interests at heart.
It's not hard to see how somebody without a familial connection can start to see themselves as a behind the scenes demagogue who the artist owes for their fame. I mean, unfortunately, that's quite true to an extent, but then there's also the person whose face is being plastered everywhere and whose voice is being used to sell a random Swedish producer's songs.
Basically, I don't think there's a solution to the musical vehicle that isn't "I guess we need more momagers!"
I've had this song in my head all day, even though the last time I heard it was probably like maybe a year after it was released in 2010. Watching it again now... I am not sure how this was not a parody? I mean, maybe this was part of the death of the many different genres of music.
When I first heard this song I was like "this song is so cool and deep with so many hidden meanings" and now I'm like... yeah young Mr. 14w put down the literary theory right now.
I still love it though.
According to YouTube (the only metric that matters), Ke$ha's greatest hits are all somehow less popular than Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA, which is like... the worst Miley Cyrus song (then again they're all the worst after the album Breakout).
Also I think it's "Black [Cross Symbol] White".
The first BLACK or WHITE I thought of was the Miss Monochrome one.
Well, okay, it's for reasons that should be apparent before you even hear the song.
JAM Project can't seem to yell "Zerooooo" as well as they do "GAROOOOOO".
Still half asleep,
With one eye open check IJBM la politique,
Look at the forums,
What's happening~
Better get in an argument,
That's super irrelevant.
Next thing I knew,
From that thread I hear you,
Being to-tally wrong,
Disagreeing with me,
I know!
I better pull out sixty stanzas.
Sometimes,
GMH don't understand,
That I,
Would rather be 100% wrong,
Than admit that,
He might be right,
It's my eternal plight~
The song's not too bad either. Though I think some words could probably be written a little better.
It turns out, Nise Akira is Miyabi Mamoru's entertainment world pops (Mamoru is two years younger than Gen).

i said this in response to reading how "Volumes 01-03 are made up of older material, except for one new song on each volume (THE Ai, DREAM and LOST, respectively)." ( https://www.project-imas.com/wiki/THE_IDOLM@STER_BEST_OF_765+876=!!_series )
Take volume 3 for example; it contains 16 songs, of which 15 are songs that are not new to this album (their specific singers might be but I'm not sure).
i swear this post about j-pop and business/economics is not intended as 14w bait
