The Japanese Popstars - Song For Lisa

[@chocolatecrackcookie]

i love this song and the video, makes me think of how much i miss my childhood, and how time goes on, and we cant get things back, some times seemed so unimportant, and when we look back they were the best times.. but no point living in the past, heres to the future!!! japanese popstars rule

First heard this song in February 2011 when I was 12. I'm about to be 16 now and this song hits my heart harder now that my mom's been gone since February 2014. Never thought my life could get this rough. 2021 edit: Can't believe it's been 6 years since I commented this. I'm 21 and turning 22 soon and I still think of my mom every time I come back to this song. October 2023 edit: 8 years since I commented. Still listening, I'm 24 now. 🫶

[@tarden132]

I heard this during senior year of high school.

I heard this during my senior year of high school. I make me wish to redo high school.

[@mavispaoletti1112]

How weird. I remember when I heard this song the video was a free download on iTunes, just for the week. As a 16 year old at the time it hit me hard geeeeeeez.... really pulled my head in after watching this video... still cry when I watch it

[@tangiblephoton]

ikr

[@DarqeDestroyer]

Wow. As this video progressed I got a real wistful vibe from it, as she revisits all the places she went as a child and reflects on what she did then... but the twist at the end turned it into a straight-up DOWNER. Major depressing turn that I completely didn't see coming.

[@tanaraeh]

Wow this was sooo my life when I was a kid. I wish this song/video existed when I was a teenager. I really would've loved to hear this song back then

[@calumsanderson6741]

I remember this being the iTunes free video of the week and i downloaded it just as i begun my film course and I was blown away by the storytelling in it, I wish i put it forward to watch in class and to study, it was a real eye opener besides being a banger track

[@Essy367]

I wish I could go back to my childhood, just for a day.

[@chrisgriffin6489]

Absolutely love James Vincent. Anything he touches turns to gold, or in this case silver

[@nalayacarter8766]

This song really speaks to me💬

[@jhali]

I didn't see the end coming that way...made me shed some tears, Thanx.

[@JuicyyJC]

This song makes me a little sad .. It always reminds me of my childhood and wants me to go back and redo it ..

[@mkjuhuiolkopiuhgvcfdxseasz626]

For those that had one ...

[@IvyShields]

I don't see how Justin Bieber gets more views than this. Japanese Popstars- Fantastic.

[@saintetienne755]

Amen to that !!!

[@Niokuwu]

Yeah! :D :D :D

[@Housestationlive]

[@silkscreenfantastic]

I love the video, so good. But then again, I would probably love the video even if it was a 3 minute and 36 second close-up of a peanut butter sandwich. That's how good this song is.

[@CandyLaStar]

I feel like crying now :S so sad video!...

[@shakirawilliams7488]

There is an excellent remix by Screendeath (thanks to ATL Dance on Radio Ulster for playing). In Soundcloud: soundcloud dot com / screendeath / the-japanese-popstars - song-for (no spaces)

[@flatsol]

didn't expect that. very nice. i thought the Benassi version was quite nice, but this is good too. video makes it much stronger..

[@tahjilicious]

There should be more views!

[@MrOregona230]

great song and saddest music video i've ever seen

[@VanfHimself]

@MrHistory89 I saw American flags so I'm not sure it was in either UK nor Ireland.

[@djblackadder]

@selenabrigton look up The Japanese Popstars - We Just Are. You might be a bit shocked though, they have been pumping out real fat electro beats for some time now, Ride Of Ulysses being a prime example!

[@FeefReefer]

@Deptstate799 go see these guys live and youl see how good they are..

[@flyagaric123]

Heard this on the Future Underground CD. Quality tune, rep to the Popstars.

[@Wolfsblutratte]

Can someone please help me to find the remix of this song from Paul Oakenfold? I heard this remix in a EDC Trailer but can´t find it in a clean version only life

[@ActNormalKid]

My heart breaks a little every time.... ... I watch her THROW THAT PERFECTLY GOOD ICE CREAM CONE AWAY. Anyways, great song.

[@JITENDRA339]

[@icysonja]

@MrHistory89 It reminds me of Brighton, UK.

[@MrHistory89]

I don't know if this vid was made in U.K or Ireland but either way does anyone know what city/town

[@tangiblephoton]

@paulc6406 did u hook it up to your comp or something?

[@dubirl09]

This one is gonna be big - and its Irish! - nice tune

[@MrSpookyLover]

Go on Ireland !!

[@ricgen98]

I was about to write the same exact thing.

[@Iwillbetall]

savage!

[@chocolatecrackcookie]

@iolanthesoadfan wheres southend?

[@FaTaLx951]

EDC 2011 brought me here!!!

[@j0shuuua]

does anyone any bands or any songs that are like this !?!?!?

[@ThomDammers]

I wonder why this beautiful song and video with an actual meaning has this few hits, as opposed to the 'attractive' pop stars who are more concerned about fitting in than creating actual art. It may just be me, but I believe that says alot about the majority of the people in the world.

[@PlutoMSK]

Give me something in your place.

[@tonyvice6661616]

@ThomDammers Mate you'll just have to accept this fact if you want to make your life easier for yourself.You are 100% right on what you say unfortunately.Just get over it and it will be easier for you!I went through a difficult phase of accepting the stupidity of humanity and now I can say I'm partially fine with it

[@fantastical313]

Should have more views

[@t357b0t]

like it

[@stephen_oakes_tree]

this track's fucking wicked - bring on the sweet summer vybz.

[@LiddoJanet879]

[@chazdiaz791]

Wish my damn phone would play the dang video... DAMN YOU SPRINT!!!!!

[@ArtK1m1mar0]

прекрасный трек :)

[@dale9bx]

@xshaggy102x no way ,is she on vocals?

[@LieutenantSarcasm26]

@SkinnyJura I had to go Cold Stone's with this one girl I didn't really like all that much (our parents :P). My dislike was further encouraged when she took approximately 5 bites and then threw it away. I'm beginning to think this is another pet peeve everyone has.

[@meganfox769]

can sum1 tell me yy at the end a car came and she juss look at the screen yy?

[@BIGACE5612]

Benni bennassis remix and dis one are both good

[@matadorelov]

I particularly don't like the Cure albums starting from Wild Mood Swins onwards... but one thing is clear, Old and fat Robert Smith can still be a resourceful feat. for current acts (Crystal Castles, and know T.J.P)...I've noticed that he can actually do better collaborating on vocals, than making albums nowadays...

[@SkinnyJura]

She wasted like half an ice cream! I'm enraged.

[@matadorelov]

Why the hell is KZbin sooooo slow...can't stream properly. Anyhow, I just finished listening to the album from these Irish dudes...titled "Controlling Your Allegiance". I've enjoyed a couple of track, and some Feats. are entertaining no doubt (Robert Smith's). But to be honest there were a few tracks I could not stand listening to: "Without Sound" and "Falcon Punch" , the former was to pop-ish, and the latter just annoyed me... I did enjoy the beats of "Let Go"; and "Destroy".

[@ArmandoGore]

No matter how well you play your hand, You cannot go home again! No! No matter how well you play your hands, You cannot go home again! No!

[@tosia16]

Fuck... it makes me cry.

[@albertalexandria]

Wtff i wanted that ice cream !? :O

[@NiMareQ]

[@NiMareQ]

[@susiec06]

[@joshgilbert25]

[@tddbzppgzgirl224]

@SkinnyJura she was probably to sad to eat but it is still a waist of something awesome

[@Danhansen699]

LOL EDC brought me to the Benny version, then the Benny Version brought me here.

[@MichaelNolhan]

Kinetic Field To this day one of the best memories of any event. In my top 5 or 10 of 300+.

[@Harmful_Logic]

@pabloalecks 3 lads from derry :)

[@CroppyBoy1798]

Lisa Hannigan gone all dance.....hmm.......something about me like it! :D

[@StefanIoanPaP]

What is the real name of Lisa ''kid'' in video ?

[@user-saraswatidevi]

Blue diamond discovered edm

[@laughingman8893]

This song is so beautiful!! And to be that awesome of a song, and TO BE RELEASED IN 2011?!?! My first time hearing this!!! Your management sucks!! Please find a team that puts your music first!!! A 6 year old song that blows away the new music is some Prince level type stuff!!!! I NEED MORE JAPANESE POP STARS

[@NannerHammock]

EDC 2011 ORLANDO

[@LostHisMarbles]

I do that sometimes.

[@chaseboy101]

Hmm... Could the fact that she threw away her whole ice cream have a deeper meaning? I think that eating her Ice cream gives her a bitter/sweet taste in her mouth which she can't stand to bare no more. Her older self is a walking shell, only filled with the memories of her happy childhood.
