Yet again another band I don't know that much about. Their albums are on Usagi-Chang Records. They have a Flipper's Guitar and P5 sound. It's a bit J-Popish but a little more updated and now sounding. Very uplifting music. I love their video for Pan-Da. The reprise of the song is probably my other favorite off the album. I think they formed in 1999. This album came out in 2004. I've seen some pictures of them live and they've got someone in a giant panda outfit like the panda from their video and album cover. Marxy says that the album is a tribute to Japanese music of their childhood. It's cool stuff and I totally recommend picking up some Aprils.

What you said.
any idea if Mori Chack helped with the animation in the video, loving it quite a bit
No idea. My wife said it looked like something they made themselves. I think it looks pretty cool though. I love the panda occupation illustrations. I would've had no idea what they were saying if it weren't for the video.

You should check out his work, I am guessing it would be something you would like
Hell yeah. I've his work before in Giant Robot. It's funny my wife asked me why blood was coming out of the panda's mouth and I had a hard time trying to explain new japanese art with cute animals with blood coming out of their orifices. I love that art. Here's a picture of them live with the guy in the panda suit.
freaking awesome. I saw the same article in Giant Robot, funny how the blood makes him that much more cute
I know, huh. I hope that bear has air conditioning in that giant head.
I was wondering how in the hell he can see......no air holes to be seen at all
The air holes must be on top of the head. How he sees though I got no clue. Even out of those eyes your not seeing what's in front of you. They are Japanese though. It's probably some kid inside the head operating it like a gundam suit with a strange read out and controls to move the body.
Here is much more information on the pillows:
