Diddy's Asian Persuasion buzz thread

[Diddy]

I'm so glad you've all enjoyed my entries in the various song contests of the year, it's a real vindication for me.

In light of that, I decided that the appetite was there for a Saturday afternoon Asian blowout, and I'll show some of my favourite artists from Japan and South Korea, and ruin my future song contest entries from this category. There will be familiar faces as my entry artists get a reprise with other songs.

I hope you can join me at 13.00 BST on Saturday 26th (this week) - I guess in this thread (or should I start a new one? Anyway またねー

 

[Tisch]

Looking forward to this!

 

[ButterTart]

Woop! As a devotee of the Diddy Method in all past and future ASFMs, I'm very much looking forward to this,

This sounds fun! Should I prepare a VPN in case not all the videos are available in the UK?

This sounds great, I'm pretty knowledgeable on the K-Pop side of thigs (well from girl bands till at least 2017 anyway) but the only J-Pop I know is from the 80s! I'll try to be there for the first hour and a half, I have a facial booked at 3pm!

Will fleeting 90s dance chanteuse Nokko be making an appearance? I'm amazed that she's still going, but I don't get the impression she's remotely successful.

sorry but it’s unlikely, I still haven’t seen that whole song, it’s blocked over here

 

[Diddy]

Anyway to WHIP up some excitement for tomorrow, here’s some cultural exchange from the host city



the playlist will last a little over an hour I think

 

[Tisch]

Nokko blocked in her own country! Is there a SHAME attached?

she lost face

btw I finished the playlist but I’m looking for someone to check it’s all viewable, but I don’t want to ask you guys in here because SPOILERS. Any ideas?

If this is anything to go by, this will be amazing

 

[Tisch]

If no-one offers I'm happy to give everything a couple of seconds burst. But yeah I will be taking part and ideally don't want to be spoiled...

 

[Diddy]

Hopefully it’ll all be fine anyway

Happy to send you the files for festival Diddy

She was sentenced to a night's Bukkake after dabbling in US-centric dance. "My father and mother call me disgrace" is a telling lyric from one of her other hot tracks Call Me Nightlife.

I'm confused about when this is happening now! This one says 1300 BST (which I can make) but you said 2100 BST in the daily thread and I'm busy with a thing then

I'm FAIRLY confident he meant 1pm BST which I assume is 9pm in Japan but Diddy to PLEASE CONFIRM

OMG Super Tamade ~dead~

 

[Mats]

I'll tune into this messy Asian sensation but I fear a lot of the videos will be geoblocked for me

Yak! I meant 13.00!!
Not doing this at 5am

thanks for the heads up!

 

[COB]

Oh thank goodness

 

[Mats]

you know, even as an ardent Japanologist I never gave their music much attention, except for 70s rock. I am more into the heavy lit as you know. also some of it makes my brain go gudaguda. but I'll push my envelope for you babes

 

[Mats]

I'm heading out and I don't want to hijack your thread but can I just post this to get y'alls groins glowing this slow morning

 

[dmlaw]

I'm going to Somerset, so I'm going to miss this but I will try to catch up later.

happy to have you on board for my basic 21st century selection

I hope Kakko will be making an appearance.

 

[Diddy]

Should I make a new thread for the show?

 

[Lucille]

I’m boycotting this after last night’s shameful Nami Shimada snub.
