Live Video: Mass of the Fermenting Dregs

Recently released on YouTube, here is a very good, multi-camera shot video of Mass of The Fermenting Dregs live at the Daikanyama Unit in Tokyo on September 22, 2008. And having seen them just a couple months ago, I have to say that this video really captures the intensity of Mass Dore and their fans quite well. Of course, you want to turn up the volume all the way:

China Rock & Roll Scene Video 2009

According to Wikipedia, Chinese Rock first started in Beijing in 1984 and mostly involved university students in small underground bars and hotels.

Since then Chinese rock has had its ups and downs and was severely hit hard by the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. But now, finally, in 2009 the Chinese rock movement seems to be rolling along pretty well. The below video was released earlier this year in February by Tripfilms and it gives us a good view of the current emerging underground rock scene in China:

Eastern Youth - 365 Steps Blues Promo Video

In many countries around the world, Eastern Youth is a very well known and quite popular Japanese indie punk rock trio that sings in various complex styles. Their songs' Japanese lyrics express the helplessness of much of today's younger Japanese generation. This video is a newly released high quality promo version of Eastern Youth's "365 Step Blues" And below the video I have also included both the Japanese lyrics in ROMAJI on the left, and just next to that on the right is an excellent English translation that another Eastern Youth fan/Japanese friend of mine gave me last year. And I just really like Eastern Youth and, especially, this song too! Please enjoy!
