This is a variety show that is usually aired around New Year’s Eve – although they sometimes have special editions at other times in the year, from memory. The guy in the suit that is half red & half white is the MC. He is supposed to represent the theme of the show – that is, there’s a white team & a red team & they’re competing for the highest score. There are judges that gauge each performance & rate them. The contestants all dress up as famous people & either impersonate them as part of a comedy act or else sing a song like them. There are some really funny acts & some are downright eerily like the person they’re impersonating. It’s a great show! Bonus that one of the Mezamashi girls was there as well…

“Cool Quotes”

“Psychedelic. Balearic. Straight up pop. Call it what you want, this is memorable music.” keytarsandviolins

“Lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.” mess+noise

“Impressive elastic strands of plaited sense associations; extract of flashy disco, pastoral swoon and computer exploration.” threethousand

“A total cottage industry – one guy recording, pressing and releasing his own music – and it’s an example of how to do it right from the bottom up.” Stylus

“A manic journey of sounds, bound by neither genre nor era.” Beat

“Cuts-and-pastes big samples with delicately rendered instrumentation. A party jam. Four stars.” Pitchfork
