Music Friday: Tokyo Jihen – Sports and Dai Hakken
Stop whatever you’re doing.
Listen to Tokyo Jihen’s 2010 album Sports:
(Zettai zetsumei, another incredibly sad song that really doesn’t sound sad:)
(Denpa tsuushin, Season sayonara:)
And then listen to their brand new Dai Hakken. Here’s the video for “Atarashii Bunmei-kaika” (watch it before the copyright police show up!)
Note: The song title can be translated straightforwardly as “brand new civilization,” as shown in the video. However, the term bunmei kaika is specifically associated with the Meiji Revolution and Westernization — which might make you think a little differently about the music video.
