Haiku's Music of Asia Archival Adventures II (1980-2004) January 2nd @13:30 GMT

And that was the last song of the afternoon! Thank you all so much for joining, was a pleasure to host and I was in brilliant company! ❤️

Still have a few more tunes to bang out, so with a little luck, I'll set the next run maybe in April? :thumbsup:

And happy new year all!
 
I will do another Asian Persuasion at some point too - I feel a bit put to shame now though, your lists are always so DIVERSE!

BTW choose a Ghibli movie for us, hun!
 
A late update but as mentioned during the cover section.

A bonus feature of sorts, here were some of the previously mentioned covers of USA/Europe songs I had talked about (and thanks @COB for the bizarre MAX Saturday Night cover :thumbsup:). :D:disco:

Yoko Nagayama - La Isla Bonita


Yoko Nagayama - Venus


Yoko Nagayama - To~u Obu hātsu (Two of Hearts)


Sandy Lam - Once Touch (Cover of Eighth Wonder's "Cross My Heart"")


Sandy Lam - Jiǎng duō cuò duō (Cover of Taylor Dayne's "Don't Rush Me")


Yuki Hsu - Dub-i-Dub


MAX - Koisuru vu ~erufāredansu~ Saturday Night


MAX - Barairo no Hibi (Cover of Backstreet Boys' "Larger Than Life")

I’d been thinking about doing an Asian Persuasion again but I don’t think people want to hear about me and Japan anymore. I’m not sure what I would put in it.

I'd still very much be interested for another edition, I got some good takeaways from your last one that I wouldn't have heard of before that! :thumbsup:
 
In the dilemna where the next edition, I can either run mid-June (my first plan) or as early as next weekend. 🤔

I more or less have a concept of the playlist. On one hand, I think I'm more likely to be more inspired with the song selection if I give it more time. On the other hand, might be good to avoid intercepting and running into the next A Song For Moopy. But I might end up feeling tired next weekend since that seems to be my end of May mood. Food for thought. :D
 
Actually I had this weird urge to have a sync listen of Ayumi Hamasaki’s LOVEppears, I think it might be amazing
 
Coming this Saturday/Sunday to a Moopy thread near you. :disco:

Featuring:
- SUMMERY BREEZY BOPS
- WEEPY ASIAN LATE NIGHT BAR BALLADS
- RANDOM KOREAN/CHINESE BOYBANDS FOR @Diddy EYES ONLY
- AYUMI HAMASAKI
- A FEW ATTEMPTS TO APPEAL TO THE MORE REFINED TASTES AS WELL
- POP SONGS WITH RANDOM UNRELATED ENGLISH WORDS/LYRICS THROWN IN
- AND MORE COVERS TO BE STOLEN OFF ME FOR A FUTURE ASFM UNDERCOVER EDITION

@ZenGiraffe @COB @Diddy @Beverley @Iguana @RJN and any other folks :thumbsup:
 
I'm a bit uninspired when it comes to Asian ads to show sadly. :( I will try find some toilet-break material but it may end up being random Westerner acts of the performing on Chinese/Japanese TV in the 90s or dramatic TV show memes (mostly Philippines). :D

Any idea of the specifics, @Haiku ? Day and time would be helpful 😂

Will be more likely at 13:30 BST I think (or a half hour earlier/later) the Saturday. :thumbsup: Will confirm Friday morning what I am thinking.

Almost sure it will be Saturday but just keeping Sunday a possibility in case that works better for more people (similar time). :D
