EPIC Japanese High School Girl Ninja Chase Commercial.

Japanese commercials usually sway between WTF and RANDOM, but this one managed to infuse a healthy dose of EPIC into the mix. Props to the agency that Suntory hired. It's really clever, really funny, well put together and pretty damn effective. Almost makes me wanna buy a CC Lemon... Almost. Sadly no amount of amazing advertising can change the taste :p

Ylvis - The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) Japanese Cover

It is not quite on the epic scale of the original but the fact that they went this far and did it this well impresses the hell out of me. This is a really well done cover. Worth a watch and doubly worth a share.

Now I wanna see Michan (the main man behind this cover) do some Original content that's this good.

Epic Enka 女・・・ひとり旅 - 田川寿美

I'm busy designing web banners at the moment and I don't know when I'll have time to sling together a post with some original content today so here is an epic Enka tune that I currently find myself repeating when it shuffles into my playlist.

Wikipedia says:

Enka (演歌?) is a popular Japanese music genre considered to resemble traditional Japanese music stylistically...Modern enka, as developed in the postwar era, is a form of sentimental ballad music.

Yes I am a metalhead...
Yes I love Enka!

Why? BECAUSE REASONS!

Take a listen. Tell me what you think. Tell me if you want me to do more music related stuff (after all that is how I made a name for myself in the first place.)
