RADWIMPS - DADA

Feb 07, 2011 23:44

From japanese comm: Awesome Japanese music videos with Japanese text playing in it.

The flying text reminds me of this piece I saw in a Hong Kong art gallery, where there were several white video screens with an increasing number of Chinese characters dancing in each one.

I was checking other RADWIMPS videos on Youtube, and some Japanese people were comparing the group with Bump of Chicken. (Bump of Chicken apparently is supposed to mean "revenge of the wimps" - funny how RADWIMPS have a similar name. Are they inspired by Bump? The music is sort of similar too.

Other Radwimps songs:
おしゃかしゃま (Oshakasama): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MaF-bWeLGw&feature=channel
縷々(ruru): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWCZbsOEXTo

I don't usually like slow songs, but "ruru" is rather soothing and relaxing. I like the lyrics too - "nothing I want to say in particular, but a lot I want to know"

japanese, music
