The first one is from a musician I discovered this Summer, Electro-Pop that I absolutely love, which isn't usual considering my typical genre listening. Shinichi Osawa has made a habit of putting-out some really cool music videos of various styles, following his theme of a DVD release with his albums with videos for every one of his songs. Here's the original, non-English version of Our Song from his 2007 album, The One. On a personal level, I really like this video as it mirrors a lot of my life 'til just last year. Yay, escapism! (On a small side note, his new album, in my opinion, largely sucks, but I still love The One, so <3 )
The English version of the song, which I prefer, can be found here:
Nobody Beats the Drum - The Drum
This is just plain-fucking-awesome. If you haven't seen this yet, you're probably new to the internet. 2:25 makes my day whenever I watch this.
I Come to Shanghai - Pass the Time
Awesome video for an awesome song from an awesome, relatively new band, clicking this is definitely worth your time for the ridiculousness of the video alone, even if it's not your kind of music.
His latest album is decent but its nothing compared to "The One". The english version of our song is surprisingly good, and here i thought it would just be the same except with english lyrics. I like the subtle changes to the music.

There are, like, three songs worth listening to on his newest album =\ And I'm surprised you haven't heard the English version of Our Song. The changes make it awesome.
That video is pretty awesome, by the by. Not a huge fan of the music -- I think it's good, just not my thing -- but it went together well.
