Found this on a Japanese music site called Qetic. Thought it was a cool moving gif and very cool graphics from Japan. Just a short time waster on a Saturday night.

This actually has rhythm too. Some Japanese artists really make some great stuff - especially when it comes to animation type of things.
The band's name is Jyoubachi. In Japanese it is: 女王蜂 That translates to "Queen Bee" but George Williams, the top Vee Jay in Japan tells me that he doesn't think the Japanese name is queen bee... Oh well, if George doesn't know then I don't know who would.

From what little I know about this band is that they are fronted by a trans-sexual lead singer. Their online biography mentions nothing of this and says:
Ziyoou-vachi is a 4-piece rock band from Japan. They
formed in Kobe in 2009, and after playing together for about a year they were chosen to play on the extremely selective "Rookie a Go-Go" stage at Japan's mammoth Fuji Rock festival. Their performance there caught the ears of Japan's rock fans, but what really brought them to prominence was a landmark gig at a secret party held by the fashion brand Hysteric Glamour last November. After that night, they became the talk of Japan's fashion cognoscenti.
In March of 2011, they started selling their first
self-recorded CD-Rs at live shows. Those discs, "The
Mad Princess" and "The Wrath of the Royal Family",
quickly sold out, and allowed the band's label Ziyoou
Records to release their next recording "Witch Hunt"
nationwide. And now they'll put out their major-label
debut on Sony Music Associated Records in Fall 2011.
The night she announced their decision to sign with a
major, bandleader Avu-chan decided to share the
band's reasoning, which was basically that they'd "get to wear way more awesome clothes" and "push to even further levels of excess." That should give listeners some clue as to what sort of debut to anticipate.
The song I've picked for you today is called 待つ女 (Woman in Waiting)
Jyoubachi - Woman in Waiting
The shooting and violence reminds me of the Dead Weather's "Treat Me Like Your Mother" but it is different and fresh enough not to bother me with too much similarity. I hate it when I can say, "This band reminds me of (this or that) band."
