[Haiku Rewrites]

OMG Haiku, please tell me you know Kyoko Fukada's ludicrous Kimi no hitomi ni koishiteru?

Why isn't this available on streaming for me ??? I wanted to add it

The cat is on my leg and I was making him BOP back and forth

[COB]

BASSY

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 8: Yuiko Tsukobura - Tsukanoma Yotogi Bito (1986 Japan)
Very fascinated and enamored by this soul/funk Japanese music scene I didn't really know about. A nice blend with city pop to this one as well.

 

[COB]

Give me...

 

[RJN]

@Diddy when you're listening to this music, do you understand the lyrics entirely? or somewhat? or not

 

[Beverley]

would make the perfect entry to that dreaded song game

 

[Diddy]

Oh it's funky!

Funky is on your leg?

 

[COB]

It wouldn't be my choice of drink but you do you, Yuiko

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

The lyrics are very suggestive for what I imagine were still conservative Japanese ears in the 80s.

Love is secret, tell me taboo
He's nothing but a fleeting escort
Love is secret, tell me taboo
And later on, he will become the wind

 

[Diddy]

@Diddy when you're listening to this music, do you understand the lyrics entirely? or somewhat? or not

ahhh
NO, not really, unless it's really anodyne or slow

 

[Beverley]

can't help but dance along sat on my bed as i try to manage my migraine

 

[COB]

Jodie

 

[Diddy]

can't help but dance along sat on my bed as i try to manage my migraine

I think GYRATING

OMG this outro!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

basically miss your flight for some KFC!

 

[COB]

OMG an entire Jodie SECTION! You can see why that lunatic thought she was telling him to kill the president, really.

 

[RJN]

I'm always amazed how many different places seem to love KFC

 

[Beverley]

I think GYRATING

OMG this outro!

ikr. one can't help but think of gyrating when confronted with the prospect of me dancing.

 

[COB]

The MVP!!!

 

[COB]

 

[Diddy]

I'm always amazed how many different places seem to love KFC

I had a Calbee thing a while ago and didn't like it

 

[Diddy]

The OG Calbee

 

[COB]

Holy shit at whatever this is!

 

[Beverley]

GAG AT 'PANCHY'

 

[Diddy]

OMG this hot Korean nonsense looks TURNT

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 9: Kim Hyun-Jung - Bruise (2000 South Korea)
Time for some Korean dance pop! Hyun-Jung probably will feature again if I do another one of these!

 

[Diddy]

I had a Calbee thing a while ago and didn't like it

What was it?
That's like saying I had a Walkers

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Holy shit at whatever this is!

Eurodance didn't hit South Korea until the mid 90's/early 2000s

 

[Diddy]

GAG AT 'PANCHY'

That's one of the CORE crisp flavours -Consomme Punch!

 

[Beverley]

[COB]

"Check this out!"

 

[Diddy]
