Dempagumi.inc is consistently one of the best groups musically and visually – if you have iTunes or Spotify, WWDBest is a great collection of some amazing music. Bari3 Republic is one of my all-time faves. It’s Dempa at their best – upbeat, goofy, weird, electronic. And yet, despite being a bit out there, it manages to stand as a well-written pop song. I think that’s why I like it so much – it manages to balance its weirdness with quality song-writing and a melody that most groups would love to perform. It also has one of my all-time favorite music videos, combining animation with live action performances – this mix of animation and live action is smooth and works incredibly well. Bari3 Republic manages to take Dempagumi.inc’s core thing and take it to its highest possible height.
