Here's a new video from OMODAKA for "Plumb Song." As usual, it's pretty incredible. Also, it might be very slightly not safe for work, but you shouldn't be wasting time watching videos at work in the first place! Anyway, this video is pure neon eye-candy. Make sure to watch it in HD if you can. So, when is OMODAKA going to release a DVD? Hmmm?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hit the jump for more of this week's video picks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Moja "High Speed"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MJDBrASi7X0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MJDBrASi7X0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="550" height="452"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a great, moody, DIY video from the two piece rock band Moja. The very dark, black and white treatment perfectly fits the music, and the chaotic camera work matches the chaos of the band. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Electric Eel Shock "Metal Man"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8d-5WU-iTm8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8d-5WU-iTm8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="550" height="335"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After you watch this video, there's no doubting the thrill of a live Electric Eel Shock show. Not only will they rock your face off, but check out the drummer! Not every has the courage to wear nothing but a really, really, really long sock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Usotsuki Barbie "Konai Insects"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ey9bmJfPt2Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ey9bmJfPt2Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="550" height="452"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a somewhat random pick from Usotsuki Barbie. There's no much going on here, but when you're band is already pretty weird, you don;t need to worry about adding much. And hey, dancing girl.

Both Psysalia Psysalis Psyche and NIZ are rather new bands, but they each bring their own unique sounds to the table. Hideyoshi is another dreamy rock band that you arty indie rock types should listen to. Then there's new thrash metal from Rightbrian, some interesting anime cover songs on &lt;i&gt;Anisomania-2&lt;/i&gt; and more punk, hardcore and even a bit of hip-hop flavor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the whole post &lt;a href="http://www.hearjapan.com/news/hearjapan_news/Explore_the_Unexplored_12"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2468652165631826408-773245404516558324?l=www.zbsatozofjmusic.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/feeds/773245404516558324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2468652165631826408&amp;postID=773245404516558324' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2468652165631826408/posts/default/773245404516558324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2468652165631826408/posts/default/773245404516558324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/2009/10/explore-unexplored-12.html' title='Explore the Unexplored 12'/><author><name>Zac Bentz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07271461489533301663</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01994564229080744755'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468652165631826408.post-2007969594709270150</id><published>2009-10-28T20:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T20:45:00.194-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='October'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calendar'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Psydoll'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='November'/><title type='text'>Calendar '09 -

Halloween! I mean they named holidays &amp;quot;holiday&amp;quot; because of Halloween. More like &lt;i&gt;halloday&lt;/i&gt;, am I right? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wow, that was terrible. More like &lt;i&gt;terror&lt;/i&gt;-able! *high-five* &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, this will be the third time the dead have walked the Earth since the start of Japanator Radio. This year I felt it might be best to highlight those two thrilling shows, especially since the old direct download links have rotted away into dust. And because I put a bit of work into both of them, and because they are pretty awesome. They are perfect for blasting throughout your neighborhood as the poor unsuspecting little tykes go gallivanting around in death masks and Sexy-Zombie-Billy-Mays costumes. Neither show has my stupid voice to break up the gloomy mood, just non-stop aural chills and thrills. Oh, and not exactly a lot of Japanese music. That's because death is for &lt;i&gt;everybody&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, this week, please to be re-enjoying Japanator Radio episodes 08 and 60.66. Because when October dies, all we are left with is, *shudder*, cheer and good will toward men. And that's the &lt;i&gt;real &lt;/i&gt;horror.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.japanator.com/elephant/post.phtml?pk=11885"&gt;DOWNLOAD EPISODE 110 AT JAPANATOR&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/japanatorradio"&gt;RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Random updates via &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/zacbentz" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Track-lists after the jump! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;08 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span class="post-pic"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Silent Hill -

(Did you read &lt;a href="http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/2009/06/otaku-usa-magazine-august-2009.html"&gt;my interview with group leader Ai Takahashi in August&lt;/a&gt;?) And there's also a special Cosplay Cafe interview with the Anime-Song Girl's Club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then of course there's the usual barrage of video game, film, anime, manga and general otaku spazoid greatness.

Upon further listening, that's not an opinion that's likely to change, at least not entirely. But the method to their madness becomes a bit clearer and things start to make a bit more sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6eyes formed around 2002. Since then they've released three albums featuring their particular brand of lethally tight, dirty, post-punk indie rock. Their early sound (that being from 2002 to 2007) is open to exploring brighter and more upbeat ideas. "I'm So Free" could very easily be mistaken for an early &lt;a href="http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/search/label/Supercar"&gt;Supercar&lt;/a&gt; song, for instance. But these occasional forays into indie-pop territory are quickly beaten back by their insistence on returning to the dark and dingy sounds over and over. In either case, the band never wastes a single note in dressing up the songs or making them in any way ornate. "Efficient" comes to mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More recently the band has distilled its sound down into a razor sharp post-punk laser, while at the same time they've managed to highlight their simple yet infectious melodies. &lt;i&gt;Blank in Black&lt;/i&gt; sheds the fuzzed-out guitar rock in favor of focusing on the raw and tight sounds. The songs are also more rhythmic, almost dance oriented, which makes them all the more irresistible, albeit quite dark. Almost goth-like at times. Think The Police meets Bauhaus (or maybe &lt;a href="http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/search/label/Molice"&gt;Molice&lt;/a&gt; meets &lt;a href="http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/search/label/Plasticzooms"&gt;Plasticzooms&lt;/a&gt; if you want to keep it Japanese)...fronted by a stumbling drunk with a mouth full of marbles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/PytJTGW7Lok/188/A250756/list_from_code_banner.html?key=100021742"&gt;BUY 6EYES RELEASES HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Return"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/scWOCezDltE&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/scWOCezDltE&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="550" height="452"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.6eyes.jp/"&gt;Official Site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/6eyesdots"&gt;MySpace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Members:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tsuchiya Chikara - Vocal, Guitar&lt;br /&gt;Matsuda Kouichirou - Bass&lt;br /&gt;Hori Youichi - Guitar, Backing Vocal&lt;br /&gt;Kuwayama Yoshitaka, Drums, Backing Vocal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Albums:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Blank in Black&lt;/i&gt; - 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pirates Music&lt;/i&gt; - 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;6eyes&lt;/i&gt; - 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Crystal Boy"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OJ4AhWjzlgY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=ja&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OJ4AhWjzlgY&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=ja&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="550" height="452"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2468652165631826408-4239731612111107214?l=www.zbsatozofjmusic.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/feeds/4239731612111107214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2468652165631826408&amp;postID=4239731612111107214' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2468652165631826408/posts/default/4239731612111107214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2468652165631826408/posts/default/4239731612111107214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.zbsatozofjmusic.com/2009/10/6eyes.html' title='6eyes'/><author><name>Zac Bentz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07271461489533301663</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01994564229080744755'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468652165631826408.post-4642064106155068002</id><published>2009-10-20T20:10:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T20:15:01.899-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Explore the Unexplored'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Molice'/><title type='text'>Explore the Unexplored 11</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="https://zbsatozofjmusic.s3.amazonaws.com/azimages/explore_header.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out my top ten picks from the HearJapan archives on this week's &lt;a href="http://www.hearjapan.com/news/hearjapan_news/Explore_the_Unexplored_11"&gt;Explore the Unexplored &lt;/a&gt;post!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time around, some really cool stuff from Goomi, Molice and The Local Art.
