Music video: MEG - Trap

I think I'm in love. Don't ask me why, but this shit reminded me of Ridge racer. Back when it was good and Reiko Nagase was running things. Not in its current 'whored out on the release day for every new gaming system that drops' state. No car. No Drum 'n bass. Yet...Ridge racer. Like I said. Please don't ask. I just do not know.

Having been primarily produced by Yasutaka Nakata of Capsule and Perfume fame for many years, MEG is now stepping out of his shadow. A bold move and one which I would NEVER urge Perfume to follow unless they fancy being broke flops manning the escalators at Fuji television HQ. But it's one which could pay off nicely for MEG if "Trap" is anything to go by. A sexily seductive song with production helmed by Shinichi Osawa - a name J-dance heads are no strangers to. I don't think Meg has anything to worry about. There isn't a single thing in the J-Pop charts or any chart at the moment which sounds like this. She put out a single which sounds like some leftover from the Amélie soundtrack and has won my hear. Kudos MEG. Kudos. I now love you. And Kylie Minogue is planning to rip you right the f**k off for her next album.

There isn't a much of a video to "Trap". It's just MEG spinning around, flicking her wig, rolling around in slow motion on the floor and looking a well dressed skank as she always has done. But it works. It suits the song and MEG looks hot, so I shalln't hate. I should call a sucker out for stamping the whole video with MEG. New Single. TRAP. 2012.6.13 ON Sale. But I think its a cool idea. Fans get the video and the message is there in your face as to when the single is out. And I'll take this over the 1 and a half minute previews Avex roll out for their artists any day of the week. Don't think I won't replace this embeddable video with a version which doesn't have the promotional schpeil stamped on it if I find one though. I'll copy and paste that shit like BoA.
