Diddy's Asian Persuasion II - 1/1 12.00 GMT

[COB]

I don't know what it was about, but I was imagining a story where her lover has gone to war and she was upset

 

[Iguana]

OMG do you hate this? you are the classy Mooper too!

I was only going for the cheap gag, I quite enjoyed it really!

 

[Tisch]

Yay Japanese covers!

TOUCH MY BOBY EVERYONE!

Miki Asakura - What a feeling (Flashdance)

Another returning ASFM artist is the much-loved Miki Asakura, whose cover of Bonnie Tyler’s “(Holding out for a) Hero” was the moral winner of Buttervision. She’s up to her old tricks now, with this 1983 cover of the Irene Cara hit.

Obsessed already.

 

[COB]

Miki looking less CRAZY so far.

 

[Tisch]

This is Japanese! Aren't you paying attention to the lovingly-written descriptions?

Sorry Buttertart arrived and it all got a bit much!

 

[COB]

Oh here she goes

 

[Diddy]

I don't know what it was about, but I was imagining a story where her lover has gone to war and she was upset

The only bit I grabbed hold of was something about the MOUNTAIN BEING AFLAME, which was

I love the Casio intro.

 

[Diddy]

I was dithering between this or her cover of Bon Jovi's Runaway (!), but I thought "Gay"

I believe submissions to @IguanMoreSleep's creative writing are still open

 

[Tisch]

About 6 people clapping

 

[ButterTart]

Look at her go! Love the tit window and tinsel belt, summat for t'lads.

 

[Diddy]

I looked up her singing Hero in the present day, she's still at it! Her teeth are SO LONG!

 

[Iguana]

Oh no, the muted applause

 

[COB]

This is amazing, but imagine if she'd gone full Flashdance and done a peekaboo routine with a WELDING MASK.

 

[Diddy]

Dreams come true - Osaka lover

Tokyo always gets the attention, but the focus is on Osaka now, as we ease into City Pop. Dreams Come True have had a successful 30-year career, and are responsible for the music from Sonic The Hedgehog.

This song namedrops several Osaka landmarks and has been a local favourite ever since its 2007 release.

Sorry Buttertart arrived and it all got a bit much!

That tends to happen wherever I go. I walk into a room and people just start screaming.

And pulled a chain and got DRENCHED!

(that's a different song maybe but whatever)

 

[Diddy]

I am laying down on the floor

 

[Diddy]

OOhhh-Sakaaaaaaa <3

 

[Tisch]

Hate those frogs so much

 

[ButterTart]

I couldn't tell if that was applause or an arthritic old woman playing with bubble wrap.

 

[Diddy]

Hate those frogs so much

Talking vermin were alright?

I'm trying to catch up with you, I keep getting unskippable adverts

 

[ButterTart]

I believe submissions to @IguanMoreSleep's creative writing are still open

@IguanMoreSleep I still need to send this to you, when's the closing date?

 

[Iguana]

@IguanMoreSleep I still need to send this to you, when's the closing date?

Wednesday next week!

 

[ButterTart]

I want those frogs to lip sync everything I listen to from now on.

 

[Tisch]

I'm not getting any ads! (Creepy cod roe and James Brown aside)

We don't get them in the ASFMs either. And I'm not really sure why cos we don't have have Premium or anything?

 

[Diddy]

I guess City Pop isn't doing it for you lot?

I'm still feeling around it as a genre, it seem to be a Japan Exclusive but it's so sweet

 

[ButterTart]

Wednesday next week!

Oh thank Christ!

Dreams Come True have had a successful 30-year career, and are responsible for the music from Sonic The Hedgehog.

I had to check this and it's TRUE, I had no idea! Apparently one of their songs is basically what was reused as the (amazing) Sonic 2 ending music but with LYRICS AND VOCALS and I must remember to listen to it straight after this

Are you listening within the browser? I've told you about a hundred times that you don't get ads if you listen within the browser

I love it!

Ami Suzuki – Bitter

Back by popular demand, semi-retired songstress Ami released this sultry bop in 2008 from album “Dolce”. She closed the show last time with “Reincarnation”, and I hope her career gets a revival soon too.

I quite like it, it's pretty chilled out.

Course it's true you cheeky sod
I couldn't track it down somehow :/ I hope you have more luck!

 

[Tisch]

I hadn't realised we'd reached a conclusion on that!

And isn't that surely what everyone else does?

I just meant I thought I'd have heard about it, I love stuff like that - like the Michael Jackson/Sonic 3 music

I cast it to my TV from my phone!

No I suspect most people watch through the YouTube app, which gives you ads.
