…the appeal of J-Pop bands like Shonen Knife? Looked at objectively, it appears they sing the most cloying and inane pop lyrics known to man, and combine it with that English as a second language vibe and accents. Oh, and they’ve not very good playing thier instruments either. So what’s the appeal?
And I should point out, I’m not asking why other people listen to it, I’m asking why I keep finding myself compelled to listen to it?
I think I need a 4 hour Pogues marathon to get my edge back.
Oh, Honey. This is really serious. I’m so sorry, I had no idea.
One acronym: DDR.
You need Katamari Damacy. Shonen Knife will seem normal and serious after a couple hours of playing Katamari.
