Diddy's Asian Persuasion IV: Sunday October 3rd 13.00 BST

[Diddy]

Oh.. I wish the countdown counted down to the actual time I (re)scheduled for
2 minutes this time!

 

[COB]

It's new! I'm scared.

 

[Penelope]

how about @Penelope if you're not too busy totting up, you can put it on in the background
and @Apocalypt Flyer too

How long does it go on till? Just so I know to try to avoid any OVERLAP with results

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Me and my dodgy right ear are here

 

[Diddy]

What is THIS countdown

It came with the video! OOh I like the squirly line counting down around the edge

the scribblyness no doubt reflecting its IMPROMPTUNESS

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Diddy]

How long does it go on till? Just so I know to try to avoid any OVERLAP with results

It'll be done before 3, not exactly sure when, but feel free to tap out whenever

 

[Diddy]

Me and my dodgy right ear are here

That will probably help

 

[COB]

Queen of cross promotion!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

@Diddy, we need to have a word about that title screen...

 

[COB]

Strap in and strap on

PART 1: Pop goes Japan

1] Perfume - Saisei (Rebirth)

You all know by now that Perfume are one of my favourite groups of all time, and I am thirsty at the prospect of a new album. This 2019 single is the first hint of new material since 2018's Future Pop and 2019's Best Of collection. Though it does revisit a lot of their old amazing videos lip-sunk to the new song. Amazing girls, I hope 2022 is a Perfume year!

 

[Diddy]

@Diddy, we need to have a word about that title screen...

You don't like my adjustments? I tried to use as many fonts as I could was that wrong?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

EVERYTHING IS IN MONO

 

[Diddy]

I'd feel a little more confident about Perfume as an opener if the thread last week hadn't had a resounding silence

 

[COB]

Okay I really need to give these girls a proper go, I keep meaning to then I forget

 

[COB]

Moopy PERFUME LOUNGE coming soon

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Perfume still my favourite thing. Genuinely want to go to a concert of theirs.

 

[Diddy]

EVERYTHING IS IN MONO

Is that something I'm doing?

Let's reconvene later!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Is that something I'm doing?

Let's reconvene later!

No it's my ear!

 

[COB]

Is that something I'm doing?

Let's reconvene later!

No he's just ill!

 

[Diddy]

Okay I really need to give these girls a proper go, I keep meaning to then I forget

I did a whole sync video thread last year

OOOH I have been threatening to myself to demand a moopy sync watch of their Netflix special

 

[COB]

He's also colourblind so the countdown was FUN

 

[Diddy]

These are just such goddesses of ageless grace and beauty and visuals

How about this song?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

He's also colourblind so the countdown was FUN

Yes yes, your boyfriend is an invalid, WHAT OF IT!?

 

[COB]

It is very BOPPY!

 

[Diddy]

Perfume still my favourite thing. Genuinely want to go to a concert of theirs.

Do it, they do world tours sometimes, I saw them in London in 2013

 

[Diddy]

2] Fujii Kaze - Kirari

The toast of the town at the moment, Fujii Kaze became famous as a YouTube when he was 12, but now 24 he made his major-label breakthrough with Kirari. A bit of an odd character I have to say, but he had enough charisma to carry off an hour-long stadium gig in a completely empty and rainy Nissan Stadium for Youtube (You can watch it if you want)

 

[COB]

Yes yes, your boyfriend is an invalid, WHAT OF IT!?

ZG makes his way into the audience for Asian Persuasion V:

 

[Diddy]

It is very BOPPY!

I'm conscious that I'm not sure anything is going to FUCK immediately though

 

[COB]

This really sounds like something else! Something quite good to be fair, but I can't remember what

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Why is he on a motorway through the end of Nier Automata?

 

[Diddy]

Least-convincing motorbike acting since Wake Me Up

 

[COB]

I don't think he's actually riding that motorbike you know.

 

[Diddy]

I don't think he's actually riding that motorbike you know.

I was more surprised there are black people in a Japanese music video

 

[COB]

I was more surprised there are black people in a Japanese music video

I was about to SAY, that's quite unusual isn't it? A welcome surprise obviously!

 

[Diddy]

Well I'm glad ZOB could join me at the very least <3

 

[COB]

Spikey John

 

[Diddy]

3] Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Gentenkaihi (Origin Avoidance)

The queen of Kawaii, empress of Harajuku, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu marked 10 years since her first single this year, and doesn't show any signs of slowing down yet. She may not have captured the hearts of the Diddyvision voters, but she's always an artist to look out for.

KPP already as DERANGED AS EVER
