Black Ops meets J-pop in Japanese commercial
This Japanese ad for Call of Duty: Black Ops, featuring Ravex and Namie Amuro's "Rock U", might seem to prove that J-pop and the military don't mix. But, then, the Japanese Coast Guard provides a pretty convincing argument to the contrary.
Blind has made me want to play Hide And Seek
Everyone and their mother has seen Blind by Percula, right? If not, go ahead and watch it above. Better yet, go to the actual vimeo page and watch it in high definition. Then come back here for more Blind-goodness.Blindly satisfied? Great! It's been the #1 search topic on WoW Insider for a bit, so I know people must love it.The only complaint that folks have about the video is the sound can be rather rough at times. I have to admit that I think this as well (to some extent), however it's nothing that really detracts from the video itself. Further, it's interesting to note that the audio distortion is present in the original song Percula uses as well, which leads me to believe it was an artistic choice of the artist.But no matter what you think of the audio quality, I haven't ran into anyone who thinks the song doesn't match up beautifully with the animation and story itself.But therein lies the question – what are the lyrics? The song playing is "Hide & Seek" by Namie Amuro. I wasn't familiar with her, so after some Wikipediaing, I learned that she is a Japanese singer that was, and to a large extent still is, quite popular.Take a look after the break for more about the song "Hide & Seek," including the lyrics.
