Last Sunday, I went to the RAIN "LOVE TOUR 2010" with Kasumi and my friend, Marianne. Rain (born Jung Ji-Hoon; June 25, 1982) is a South Koreanpop singer, dancer, model, actor, businessman, and designer.
開場は埼玉スーパーアリーナ!!
The live performance was playing at the Saitama Super Arena!!
グッズを買うための長い長～い列が!!
This very, very, very long line wasn't to enter the concert, but only to buy the goodies!!
But, I have to say that MBLAQ became my new favorite Korean band!! They were playing at the first part of the show. MBLAQ is a South Korean quintetboy bandcreated by Korean popR&B singer Rain.
I love his style, his make-up, his way of dancing, his back dancers and the song is just super addictive...
このビデオ、ほんとに面白い!! Madonna のドキュメンタリー "In Bed With Madonna" の中の "Holiday" のパロディーでもあるし、オマージュでもあるって感じ。
This video is soo funny!! It looks like a parody and homage at the same time to the Madonna's song "Holiday" in her documentary "In Bed With Madonna"!!
OK, so now, this is my favorite song to wake-up in the morning!! Best way to start the day!! This beat is soo hot!! Make me feel to dance and jump like crazy all over Tokyo!!
I like him since the single "It's Raining" and I really love his new single "Hip Song"!! Watch the video... He's clearly the best! I want those rubber sleeves and his sunglasses!!
こんな風に踊れたらいいのに!! 1:24のとこの動きが好き! チェック!!
I wish I could dance like him!! I like his little move at 1:24... Check It Out!!
I know that many of you believe that I am German (as our store name is Wut "berlin"), but, sorry, I am French, actually!! And I have to say that there are some very good (new or past) songs coming from my country!!
So, this morning, I wake-up, make my coffee and go on the net to find this new song from Alizee... and it is love at first sight!! I love this song and I love her style (a bit similar to Yelle though)!! Watch!!
Mylene Farmer は10代の頃好きだったシンガー。"好き"っていう言葉じゃ足りないくらい。。。もう、僕の神様みたいなものだったし!! このGorillaz and Soulwax のクールなリミックスを見つけられてすごいうれしい! 聴いて!!
Mylene Farmer was my favorite singer, when I was a teenager! "Favorite" isn't enough strong word...
She was my goddess actually!! And I was very happy to find this remix with the very cool Gorillaz and
I have find this video by happen on YouTube... Alphaville is a Germansynthpop group which gained popularity in the 1980s. I remember a little bit the song, but I didn't know that the video is sooo beautiful!! I love the clothes and the light effects!!
Vladimir Karaleev recommends for those who didnt know, which is THE band of the moment: Deichkind. Deichkind is a Hip-Hop / Electro band formed in Hamburg, Germany in1997. Deichkind's characteristic lyrics typically consist of irony and humor. The band describes their new sound as TechRap, a mixture of techno and rap.
Vladimir のコメント: " すごく強いライブ･ショーのコンセプト。何ていうか、プログラミング・アートと Beastie Boys と90年代のレイブとが出会った感じ。少しアナーキーで、エネルギッシュ、正に新しいドイツ。で、少し fuck-off-daft-punk。すごく、すごく現代的。"
Here is Vladimir comment: "very strong live show concept. kind of cult meets performing art, meets beastie boys, meets 90s rave, a bit anarchy, high energy, very new German, a bit fuck-off-daft-punk. very, very modern."
totally agree with him!! I saw Deichkind performing at the MTV Designerama awards in Berlin last year and they were very impressive!! Deichkind is very well known for its crazy and wild live shows including rubbish bag-outfits, trampolines, vodka and pillow fights among other things.
この間、たまたまこのイギリスの新しいアーティスト、Ebony Bonesの写真を見つけたんだけど、もう、このバンドのエレクトリックなスタイリング、最高!! すっごい刺激的!! ほんとにWutのスタイルみたい!! 彼女のファースト･シングルの "The Musik" はもう発売されているから、ここで紹介するよ:
The other day, I've found by happen some pictures of this new British singer named Ebony Bones. I was really amazed with the eclectic styling of her band!! Sooo inspiring!! It looks like a kind of Wut tribe!! Her first U.K. single, "The Musik," is already out and we have a preview for you right here:
Now just take off that dress I'd love to comb your hair I don't like my hair neat (x4) Just take off your shoes (x2) You've got nothing left to lose Just take off your shoes The shoes stay on my feet (on my feet) (x4)
What's that sound? I like that sound I love that sound It's the sound of my shoes (x2)"
This is the best new song I've heard this week, made me smile a lot, the lyrics are so funny and what a great production! It's the new track by Canadian electro-house artist/producer Tiga called Shoes. What a great video too!! I love her dress!!
"I'd love to comb of your hair
Your hair is such a mess
Now just take off that dress I'd love to comb your hair I don't like my hair neat (x4) Just take off your shoes (x2) You've got nothing left to lose Just take off your shoes The shoes stay on my feet (on my feet) (x4)
What's that sound? I like that sound I love that sound It's the sound of my shoes (x2)"

1- I love the incredible melody of "Kids" from MGMT, an American musical group based in Brooklyn, New York!
2- I love the single "Paris Is Burning" from LadyHawke. She is noted as being influenced by 1980s music!
3- I love the video of Apparat, a German electronic musician living in Berlin, with his single "Arcadia"... You should also check the great remix made by Telefon Tel Aviv!
4- I love the great performance of "The killers" at the last European Music Awards. Amazing stage design! Their new single "Human" is just... Perfect!!!
On my way to Paris, on the airplane, I was reading an article in the French ELLE magazine about the Coming Back of the 90's!!! Do you remember the English pop girl group "Spice Girls"? And the American television series "Beverly Hills"? Right, it's in the air and it's going to be more and more influential for the next trends!!!
Now I am in Paris and have a strong jet-lag as usual, so I woke up very early yesterday... That's why I went to check new music videos on itunes to kill the time and found this really great song from Sam Sparro, "21st Century Life"!
It was love at first sight! The music and video are so 90's and so modern at the same time! It is a bright, colourful thing, this video.
Sam Sparro is a 25-year-old Australian singer-songwritter and music producer. Sparro is talented, handsome, fashionable and... openly gay!
I am a huge fan now!!!
My shop staff recommended me to listen to the new single, "Crime Wave", of the Toronto-based band "Crystal Castles". So, I did...
And I fell in love immediately with the band and their robotic voice!!! A really great song!!! Crystal Castles' music is easily recognized by their heavy use of samples and distorted female vocals. You can listen "Crime Wave" here: http://www.myspace.com/crystalcastles
Here is a very funny video from youtube of someone who is dancing on "Crime Wave" !!! I think that it is so much more interesting than the original video of the band!
He wrote as a comment: "This is what I do when I'm bored."!
聞いてください！ 今、夢中になっているバンドがあるのです！
William BowermanとTodd Marriottというイギリス人2人組のシンセポップ・バンド"I was a Cub Scout"です。結成は2006年で、最近人気上昇中だとか。二人とも、まだたったの17歳なんです！
このビデオは彼らのニュー・シングル『Pink Squares』です。私は、切り絵を使ってビデオを作るというシンプルなテクニックが気に入っています。また、この曲のビートと歌詞も大好きです。きっと耳から離れなくなると思いますよ：
"oh oh oh am i in trouble darling i apologise,
i need you more then anything please come back with me tonight,
oh oh oh i am in trouble darling i apologise,
i need you more then anything please dont ever leave my side."
Oh, my God!!! I love that band!!!
"I Was a Cub Scout" is a two-man synthpop band from England, consisting of William Bowerman and Todd Marriott. Formed in 2006, the band has recently gained popularity. They are only 17 years old!!!
This is the video of their new single, "Pink Squares". I like the simplicity of the technic they used to make that video with cut papers!
And I love the beat and the lyrics of the song(!). They will stick in your head immediately:
"oh oh oh am i in trouble darling i apologise,
i need you more then anything please come back with me tonight,
oh oh oh i am in trouble darling i apologise,
i need you more then anything please dont ever leave my side."

Last night, I was watching a special "PORTISHEAD" program on MTV channel. Portishead are an English trip-hop band from Bristol. The band didn't release any album since ten years. But they are coming back with "Third", their third album!?
I have been emotionally shocked with their new single "Machine Gun"!!! It is so modern, dramatic and attractive at the same time, almost like an abstractive painting. I like the mix between a graceful melodic air and an electronic artillery fire!?
Gildas LoaëcとMasaya Kurokiの音のセンスは最高！ Kitsunéを聞いたことはありますか？ この2人はコンテンポラリー・ミュージックとファッションの世界ではとても人気があります。Kitsunéというのは、レコードのレーベルであり、同時にパリにベースを置いているハイ・エンドなファッション・ブランドでもあります（Kitsunéのパリ店：52 rue de Richelieu 75001 paris）。
On Saturday night, I went with the designers of the labels DISSTEADY OWN PHILOSOPHY and OHTA to the party of KITSUNE at WOMB in Shibuya! It was really great!!!
There was sooo many people, but as I really wanted to see the dj's, I crossed the crowd and went right in front of the stage! People were dancing like crazy, shaking beers in their hands, so I was totally wet!
Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki's sense of music is really good! Haven't heard of Kitsuné yet? These guys are major figures in contemporary music and fashion. Kitsuné is both a record label and a high-end fashion brand based in Paris (The Kitsuné Paris store, 52 rue de Richelieu 75001 paris).
They are going to launch their new album "PARIS" on May 2nd. For sure, I'll get it!
For those who are living in Fukuoka, Osaka and Nagoya, they are coming sooon!
For those who likes post-punk and electronic dance music, I really recommend to go to that party event on 05/25!!! I will go for sure and dance like crazy!!!
2月29日のブログでフランス人のエレクトロ・シンガー、Yelleを紹介しましたが、今回は彼女の新しいシングル『JE VEUX TE VOIR』（英語で「I WANT TO SEE YOU」という意味）のカラフルなビデオをご紹介します。
My God！ この曲は最高です！ Wut berlinのショップで何度も何度もかけています。ビデオにも80'sファッションが満載です。
On 02/29, I introduced you the French electro singer, Yelle. Here is the colorful video of her new single, "JE VEUX TE VOIR" ("I WANT TO SEE YOU" in english!).?
My God! I love sooo much that song!!! I have been playing it over and over in the Wut berlin shop!!! And the video is so 80's fashion!
Yelle is set to break it out in America with the release of her album Pop Up coming out April 1st! Of course, you already can find it in Japan!
By the way, she really looks like Anne, one of the designers of ANNTIAN... Don't you think so?!?
Video after the jump. Be warned though, sunglasses may be needed.
