Hum

I liked that fun little Electric Parade-ish song in the Sekai iPhone app video, so I looked around for the writer, a Sakamoto Ryuichi.

Apparently he was in the early electronica scene in the 80′s (too dated for me, but one of my older friends recognized him immediately), but here’s some of his more modern stuff:

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (live)
This song sounds really familiar for some reason…

両眼微笑 – TDMX edition
The song in the Sekai vid.

Forbidden Colours – Piano http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFYNfgrjUVI&feature=related

I guess this is a studio piano version of the first one? I don’t know why there’s a static image of a woman’s leg, but other than that, it’s SFW. Maybe it’s supposed to represent an aural orgasm? I don’t know.
