Polkadot Stingray -- JO-DEKI

 

It's been over four years since I last wrote about the pop-rock band Polkadot Stingray via their "JET", and that came three years following T-cat's introduction of the Fukuoka group onto the pages of KKP. Yup, so I haven't exactly been prolific in my articles on them, but I've literally got a new song by them here and now.

Never mentioned it until now but their J-Wiki profile has given their motto: A supernatural high-quality guitar rock band from Fukuoka Prefecture that has plans.

Well, if this music video is anything to go by, then their most recent single from July 31st this year has really got the overdrive on their musical panache and cos-presentation via Harajuku or Shibuya. "JO-DEKI" (Good Job!) was written and composed by Polkadot Stingray vocalist Shizuku(雫)and it's such a blast of frenetic energy that I'm surprised that it hasn't been incorporated as the theme song for an anime somewhere on TV. The lyrics are interesting in that they seem to depict some of the sturm und drang involved in making a song...as potentially depicted on a reality show. Still, the video is showing that it is all a bit of fun and tongue-in-cheekiness within the proceedings.
