Another wonderful song by Nakamura Kaho, brought to you by Volkswagen

 

 

The musical discovery of the year for me is Nakamura Kaho, who brought out her debut album late last year. It passed me by, otherwise it would have ended up high in my list of fave albums of last year.

Musically she comes across as very self-confident but she’s really a typical Japanese wall-flower, shy and awkward, as you can see in this short documentary.

In the video above we hear another wonderful song from her album Ainou and we see, besides Nakamura herself, three other artists at work: a jazz dancer, Mitsui Satoshi, a painter, Ishimori Nako and a contortionist called Marika.

The video is apparently a promotion for Volkswagen, bad for the environment, good for the arts! (PB)
