You’ve probably played Plants vs. Zombies, even though you never played it before — as one of those tower defense games on the web that are hot right now with the art direction of a Bedazzled game, think of the Plants vs Zombies as one part real-time strategy game, one part flash applet that housewives and stoner college students play during the day to pass the time.
With zombies.
But the reason why I bring up the game is specifically to call out the promotional music video made for the game, There’s A Zombie On Your Lawn, a delightful little ditty about a sunflower and the hordes of zombies coming her way. Written and performed by freelance video game composer (and half-Japanese) Laura Shigihara, I’m fairly certain that this is the most adorable tune about zombies as a video game promotion ever; while the original English version of the music video is adequate, 芝生にゾンビが, the Japanese translation of this song — done at the last minute with zombie voice overs by her father — puts this over the top in fucking kawaiiness. MP3’s of both the English and Japanese version are available on her blog, and are a perfect addition to your cute J-Pop songs about zombies mixtape.
What next?
