This is a pretty neat moment for me. After close to 12 years, I get this moment to finally express my heartfelt gratitude to my college roommate who really, truly introduced me to all things Japanese in my freshman year of college. Yohei Bando was rad and great and chain smoked and laughed [...]

I love this song...I like how pleasantly ridiculous this is! Shonen Knife, in my view they are Japan's greatest export. Watched them play edinburgh venue early 1990'si was at the front and center-they were brilliant. Great talent, the music, the designs, and how they present all of this together is magnificent.
