If something is offbeat or strange, I&#8217;ll tend to prefer it to things that are more conventional. My brain just enjoys something &nbsp;bit off.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why, when I saw this, my heart nearly burst with glee:<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"257\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yzC4hFK5P3g\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Kyara (long nickname is long)&#8217;s PONPONPON.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Now, I don&#8217;t really pay attention to Japanese magazines, or Japanese celebrities unless they&#8217;re in the music industry. So until I got shared this vid I had no idea who she was. So now I know that she is an offbeat model who&#8217;s now making her music debut, which is making the internet fandom explode.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">I love this video because of its strangeness, but what are some other strange videos out there? JPop has had some very crazy videos, and so I thought I&#8217;d make a list devoted to some of the weirdest videos JPop\/idol music has to offer. If you think I &#8216;m missing something, let me know!&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">-The first thing that was brought to my attention when I started asking some of my friends for what they thought were strange videos was DJ OZMA. Now I don&#8217;t follow Ravex, and since the DJ OZMA persona retired in 2008, right at the start of &nbsp;my JPop fandom, I wasn&#8217;t around to see if there were any big reactions to his stuff. However, he loves using extras in funny\/strange ways, so when I got recommended some of his vids I knew that I would have to include them here.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"257\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/coxLRv1qJL8\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">-Mini Moni is always a bundle of WTF-ism; I had multiple Mini Moni PVs suggested to include in this list. However, one alone is the fourth video when you search &#8220;Worst music video&#8221; on Google&#8230;<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vs1CA5hFdd4\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<p>The video itself isn&#8217;t THAT bad&#8230; but Bakatonosama is the stuff of nightmares.<br \/>True story: I have a photocard of him that I got in a photocard lot floating around somewhere in my room.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Another lovely suggestion! Coconuts Musume were kind of the red-headed stepchild of the Hello!Project empire, and probably one of the more forgotten groups. The only reason they really do have any recognition with today&#8217;s fans is the fact that the group produced Ayaka and Mika, who are definitely more famous than the group they originated from.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V5pHoAZuVqk\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Honorable mention in the weirdness department goes to Watashi mo I Love You, but Tokonatsu Musume has to take the cake. All the random hawaiian images, the hula dancer, the&nbsp;mathematical&nbsp;improbability&nbsp;that is four flowers plus four flowers equals pineapple. Also, some of the editing is really off; at one point there are three images of Lehua on the screen at once. And Danielle, you have a solid voice, but your facial expressions are basically trying too hard.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">-I first got into JPop early on in 2008, and back then AKB48 was out there but wasn&#8217;t the giant that it is today. My first AKB video was Skirt, Hirari, but my second video was&#8230;.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ojhUj2vpCk8\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Chocolove&#8217;s Ashita wa Ashita no Kimi ga Umareru. It&#8217;s one of those vids where it starts off weird (&#8220;OK, they&#8217;re lying there covered in blood&#8230;&#8221;) then you get caught up in all the normality. They&#8217;re going to meet each other in their own way, how sweet! You forget the beginning until &#8220;OH MY GOD THEY SHOT THE IDOLS.&#8221; It&#8217;s so unexpected with the tone of the PV. But then it&#8217;s OK&#8230; because they&#8217;re just bleeding chocolate?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">I can&#8217;t decide on whether this is weirder\/funnier when you consider that the main girl is now a porn star. I feel like there has to be a joke or something there, but I don&#8217;t quite know what that is right now.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8211; I don&#8217;t blog about her much, but I actually quite like Otsuka Ai. I only have her best-of CD on my iPod, but Sakuranbo is one of my most played songs, and I genuinely like all that I listen of her music. I haven&#8217;t seen most of her PVs because they tend to get removed quickly off of YouTube. However, I have seen one of her PVs&#8230;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"273\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/embed\/video\/x1apot?width=400\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/video\/x1apot_pv-yyy-chu-lip_music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u3010PV\u3011\u5927\u585a\u611b-CHU-LIP<\/a> <i>by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/kenjikasukabe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kenjikasukabe<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n<p>Ahh, Chu-Lip. First off it starts with a cow taking care of business. And then Ai flies out of a flower (luckily not the one that the cow pooed on) and goes into this strange PV with weird images, a guy dancing in front of and climbing in and out of a vagina and dancing in front of urinals.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the guy on the left of Ai while dancing in front of the urinals TOTALLY looks like my Japanese teacher from my freshman year of college. I watch this PV and can&#8217;t help but wonder if it is Tazawa sensei or not. Probably not, but it&#8217;s uncanny.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OaA6u1204ZM\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Who doesn&#8217;t remember that moment when you realized Natsuo was Ayaya?
