The Japanese are odd – The Plum Song

The Plum Song is the newest music video created by Omodaka, the Japanese experimental electropop group that describes itself as a “mutational fusion of music and motion graphics.” It features the voice of folk singer Akiko Kanazawa and art direction by Teppei Maki, and pays homage to the Edo period (1603-1868) red light district in Tokyo called Yoshiwara.

I will admit that this song is kinda catchy and I don’t find myself enjoying that thought, mainly because it’s so weird. That being said, the 8 bit musical notes in the background give me a nerd boner.

The video hit YouTube a few weeks ago, but the song will be available for purchase on iTunes today or tomorrow.
