能登麻美子 - かりぬい March 4, 2006
It’s PV for the ending to Jigoku Shoujo (Hell’s Girl) “Karinui” (かりぬい, Basting) by Noto Mamiko (能登麻美子) — I finally got it downloaded. Leeched by eMule. It’s really something!
I’m aware that all my last posts are some kind of eulogy for everything I’ve recently watched, but it is really, really something. Absolutely fantastic! My favorite song for now.
Song is beautiful, Noto Mamiko sings in very Japanese way — gently and in a high-pitched voice. Settings are very dark and greenish. And that creepy large doll… Haunting.
SNoW - 逆さまの蝶 February 23, 2006
I like it! “In this craziness and uncertainty…” You know it’s not that bad! Mostly because I got hooked by that lesbian atmosphere on the video. (Later came the song…) Anyway, good video. The title (逆さまの蝶 Sakasama no Chou) means something like “upturned butterfly” (and video does feature some butterflies, one of them is even in the cage!)
P.S. Forget to mention that it is the opening to Jigoku Shoujo (Hell’s Girl) I’m curently watching. I’m also looking for ED Noto Mamiko - Karinui, but wtf — it’s only on emule! Can’t find it anywhere…
