HIFANA, is AMAZING. It’s f’ckin’ AMAZING other Japanese groups don’t * successfully * remix their 2000 year “back catalog” of traditional Japanese music…meh. I’m am globsmacked and dumbfounded by the piss poor foundation that J-Pop works from…double meh.

兎角亀毛 / とにかく/ tonikaku /anyway…Oops, I forgot the post the direct link to their website. Thanks for reminding me— I will post it now:

I discovered them randomly at the shibuya HMV, in 2005, and have been in love with them ever since. They have a couple albums out. One their first full DVD has a complete DVD to go along with all the songs on the album in an animated form. (Mr. Beer is a favorite.)

Nevertheless, check out their site, and defiantly go out and get the album.
