Vermillion Lies

Vermillion Lies are a cabaret band from Oakland, California. The band consists of sisters Kim Boekbinder and Zoe Boekbinder. They are known for incorporating elements of circus and folk into their music.
The live show involves the sisters pulling their odd instruments out of a large trunk onstage before each song, prompting the audience to ask, "What's in the box?" which incidentally is the name of their brand new album.

Dark City

Dark City is a 1998 neo-noir science fiction film directed by Alex Proyas. It was adapted from a screenplay written by Proyas, David S. Goyer and Lem Dobbs. The film stars Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connelly, and William Hurt. Sewell plays John Murdoch, a man suffering from amnesia who finds himself accused of murder. Murdoch attempts to discover his true identity to clear his name while on the run from the police and a mysterious group known only as the "Strangers".

Following its screening in wide release, the film was nominated for the Hugo and Saturn Awards. With the help of Roger Ebert and home screenings, the film has since become a cult classic. In the years since its original theatrical release, critical and scholarly reviews have reevaluated the significance of the film. A director's cut was released in 2008, restoring and preserving Proyas's original artistic vision for the film.



Soundtrack:

In 1998, renowned film composer Trevor Jones asked Anita Kelsey to perform on the soundtrack to major sci-fi cult blockbuster Dark City. This resulted in American actress Jennifer Connelly miming to Kelsey's voice in two prominent scenes as well as the Kelsey rendition of "Sway" being featured on the end credits. (The director's cut of Dark City uses Connelly's vocals both in the film and the version in the credits.) The tracks "Sway" & "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" were included on the film's soundtrack released on TVT Sountrax.

Kokusyoku Sumire

The Kokusyoku Sumire Tale

The Kingdom of Fairy Tales - a small world that exists in everyone's heart.
This is where Kokusyoku Sumire was born.
The Kokusyoku Sumire girls appear in moments like when you open the lid of a childhood treasure box...along with the shiny jewels within.
The girls tell many tales with beautiful melodies:
They tell of a young crusader at sea, a young boy falling in love with the moon, an elegant afternoon enjoyed by little ladies, and even the scary story of the Little Red Riding Hood at times.
But whatever the tale, they will always bring your spirit up by the end of it.
So, close your eyes and look inside your heart.
See, the girls are right there smiling next to you!
