Goosehouse

I

Last year as I was browsing around YouTube for some videos, I stumbled upon this awesome troupe called Goosehouse. They do great cover or copy of Japanese Pop and Rock with a slight acoustic/unplugged setup. They have a wide library of videos on their YouTube channel and I turned into a huge fan of theirs.

The first video I've seen from them was a cover of Shiina Ringo's Ariamaru Tomi which was used for the TV Drama Smile.

And Carpenter's Top of the World

Finally my favorite original of theirs

Sadako 3D: Hashimoto Ai as Sadako!

Tomorrow in Japan the latest installment of The Ring franchise will have its wide release, and just before that, it was revealed (thank you TokyoHive) that the young actress Hashimoto Ai is the titular character!

Hashimoto Ai gained widespread popularity and praise for her role in the movie Confessions (2008). She is one of the rising teen actress with superb acting and looks in Japan.

I hope that Sadako 3D will be released here in the Philippines as I'm a fan of the original Japanese The Ring Trilogy not to mention a huge fan of Hashimoto Ai.
