Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canadians. Yes, it's a holiday Monday here in the Great White North and it usually signals the first big long weekend of the summer along with a few blockbusters on the way. I think we're getting the final "Mission: Impossible" entry coming out later this Friday, for example.
Of course, we can start this special Victoria Day's version of KKP with some of the good folks at Nash Music Library. Just by lucky happenstance a couple of days ago, I encountered one of their videos "Music is Free" from their 2018 album "Buttopi EDM"（ぶっとびEDM...Blasting EDM）, and I recognized it as the technopop theme song for Japan's "Weathernews Live Morning" 3-hour segment. Yes, it's pretty loud to be heard at 5 am in the morning but isn't it just the aural orange juice to get folks out of bed? The fans love to hear that "voice" in the song and characterize it as the trumpeting of elephants via icons.
And just to show you, these are some of the other theme songs during the "Weathernews Live" broadcast day.
WNI has some pretty cool themes, BGM, and cute staff. I wonder if any of this pushes their ratings up?
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether there is any competition against WNI. I think it's all a matter of how happy the sponsors are, but the cute staff, the NML music and the overall feeling of hominess on the set have definitely helped.
