Although this week had a lot of releases, compared to the sheer awesome that was last week I was a bit disappointed in the pickings. Most of the awesome stuff comes out on the 20th this month, so instead of doing my usual recommendations, I thought I’d try something different! Lately a lot of fun PV’s (Promotional Videos, i.e. Music Videos) have been released for upcoming songs/singles, and I’ll go through a few of my favorites here. These are mostly youtube links and the like, so they are under the “cut” so to speak.

Bennie K - Monochrome
2008.02.20 Release - Single “Monochrome”
Youtube link
I LOVE Yuki’s voice, and in this particular song, Cico’s part doesn’t bother me as much as it sometimes can. The two have a great blend, I will admit, and this PV really shows off their style and individual voices. I also like how everyone in the video is ignoring them, yet lip-synching along, and the (lack of) colors are beautiful!

Kato Miliyah - 19 Memories
2008.02.27 Release - Single “19 Memories”
Youtube link
The story-line of this PV, coupled with Miliyah’s amazing voice and heartfelt lyrics, is a really good combination and quite possibly a tear-jerker for some. The separate stories of the three girls, the awesome song, and the happy ending make this my favorite PV so far for this month, and make me really look forward to this single!

Utada Hikaru - Heart Station
2008.02.20 Release - Single “Heart Station / Stay Gold”
Youtube link
I really adore Utada’s voice, though I think this song is a little boring. Nevertheless, I’m really happy she’s releasing something! Maybe we’ll see a single by the end of the year…? One can hope, anyways!

YUI - Namidairo
2008.02.27 Release - Single “Namidairo”
Youtube link
Although a bunch of us YUI fans were really hoping for another release in the same vein as “Rolling star”, I still really like this PV and song. As you can maybe guess from the title, the song is a slow one, but the lyrics and melody are really pretty, and so I’m looking forward to the single! Also, looks like we’re getting an album in April! WOO!
