80_pan!

I'm so into this right now.

Here's the story, as far as I can tell.

This band started off as some sort of generic girly polished Morning Musume-ish pop band with like 5,000 girls in it, as "Harenchi Punch". Then some girls left and they changed their name to "80*Pan" but were still making bland uninteresting rock/pop (my opinion!). Now, they are down to a duo and are called "80_pan", and I can't believe it but its brilliant indie/trash/electro/disco-punk (the sort of thing journalists would call "new rave" *shudder*).

Please watch this brilliance.



From what I'm reading on the internet, fans of the original group are REALLY upset, but I have to say that this is the most stupid-fresh, wonderfully half-assed pop song to come out of Japan since Halcali's debut. This song is very refreshing considering the current wave of Capsule-produced songs featuring nothing but maximum autotuned vocals.

This is the kind of song that you hear at first and go "hmmm" but then 15 minutes later yourself going back to it.

I will be purchasing this album immediately. More of this please!
