Vitamin-Q Videos *EDITED*

Now that the cat is out of the bag, I guess I'll spring the Anza/VitaminQ videos on you. This is much different than the HPP music and more along the lines that I thought she would go after Sailor Moon.

*EDIT*

I guess for those who want more info on who and what Vitamin-Q is, I can give at least a passable explanation from posts I've read on the V-Q Mixi page.

Vitamin-Q is a band put together by Kato Kazuhiko who is a well known composer and producer of Kabuki theater and film scores. He wanted to put together a concert band to play live shows and this is what lead to the band's foundation.

I know that Anza is a big fan of Kabuki Theater and has probably been familiar with Kato's work for a long time. Which would explain her interest in this project.

There's probably more that could be said, but I think that'll do for starters.

We now return to the rest of the post*

This first video is a Rockin' little number that sounds to me like a strange mix of "The Stray Cats" and the "B-52's".



This next song sounds like a 60's love ballad from someone like "The Ronettes" or a similar type girl group. Love Anza's hair in this one. Her singing is terrific on both songs.

Hey Matt.
Forgive the n00bness here, please.
Haha

But, I've just recently gotten into HPP (about two months back, maybe?), and even more recently found this blog. When I first heard "Vitamin-Q", I thought it was the title to a new album HPP is releasing sometime. Am I wrong, then? What exactly is "Vitamin-Q"?

I know Anza has a solo thing going on as well, but I thought that was just called "Anza". Could "Vitamin-Q" be her solo thing?

Anyway, sorry for the silly question. I'm waiting for the videos to load now.

Thanks!
