Diddy's Asian Persuasion - THE SHOW (26/9 13.00 BST)

[ZenGiraffe]

An overstaffed Asian pop song?

Well I never.

 

[Tisch]

GOTTA GO TO THE MAX

 

[COB]

Oh they're all dreamboats! :emoji_heart_eyes_cat:

 

[Tisch]

So nice to see Japanese culture has made it into 2002.

 

[Diddy]

Don't make fun of their stupid dance routines if you've been stanning Steps recently

 

[COB]

omg this chorus FUCKS

 

[Tisch]

How many are there? More keep appearing!

This is absolutely ace btw. na na na-na naaa

 

[Diddy]

Oh they're all dreamboats! :emoji_heart_eyes_cat:

I do rather like them they're all mid-20s I think, rather than J-Soul Brothers hitting their 30s, and the older groups looking proper rough and/or fake-tanned

 

[ZenGiraffe]

The blonde one post-buzzcut

Edit: There are two blonde ones, not one that got a haircut halfway through

 

[Diddy]

omg this chorus FUCKS

Is that good? I'm not up on the new slang

 

[Diddy]

Japan - where everything is already an extended remix

Luckily you'll have a short break now!

 

[COB]

Is that good? I'm not up on the new slang

It's the next step after slaps and whips, I've decided to make it happen on Moopy

 

[Diddy]

@Mats I THINK we are about to catch up to you

 

[COB]

Wtf!

 

[COB]

@Diddy if you've included the Tarako kewpie doll ads in this somewhere I'll love you forever AND never forgive you

 

[Diddy]

ACT 2 – Contemporary coolness

Yoasobi – Racing into the night (2020)

I don’t know much about these, since they’ve not revealed their identity to the public, and want to keep their jobs. That hasn’t stopped this being a massive hit this year. I love the weird key change DOWN and then jumping two keys UP! Madness. She needs to get her eyes checked though.

 

[COB]

Loving this!

 

[L. Põldvere]

I have no idea what’s going on as I’m too exhausted to look at Page 1 or any posts prior to this one, but am very much here for in-lounge SLAPS AND WHIPS

We are only 4 songs deep - video #9 now (Yoasobi)

 

[Tisch]

"I hate it when you stare at things only you can see"

I need to grow an emo fringe and put that as my MySpace tagline stat.

 

[Diddy]

Those key changes just TAKE me somewhere

this FUCKS! (TM @COB )

 

[COB]

Is this what anime looks like now @Diddy? I always get depressed when I think about getting back into it and see all the popular stuff is still moe waifu shit

 

[Diddy]

Official Hige Dandism – Pretender (2019)

The biggest hit of 2019 I think, and I really got into this. The lead guy is a bit strained for 50% of all their songs, but isn’t it cute?

 

[COB]

Ooh, 256m views!

 

[Tisch]

Are these LGBT or are they just drawn that way?

I think the Netflix / Crunchyroll era is going to turn up some really interesting stuff. If only I wasn't still re-watching Evangelion

 

[COB]

More cuties!

 

[Tisch]

Is this Mr Migratory Bird?

 

[Diddy]

ugh loads of people look gay here, my gaydar is out of range. Short of a nipple piercing, i have NO IDEA

I meant the cartoon ones dear

 

[Diddy]

Is this Mr Migratory Bird?

It's NOT, but ... all of my ASFM acts will be making their returns this afternoon (twice if you count adverts)

 

[Diddy]

I meant the cartoon ones dear

oh
well animated ones could be gay, could be straight, could be pan-dimensional parasites. All bets are off, and i mean ALL!

 

[COB]

If only I wasn't still re-watching Evangelion

Spoiler: Spoilo

Oh you can't beat such a FEEL GOOD ROMP

 

[Diddy]

[COB]

You said rewatching! Oops

 

[Diddy]

his falsetto is quite sweet, but listening to a TV special of them for about an hour when he does that in EVERY SONG is a bit much

 

[Diddy]

Kenshi Yonezu – Loser (2016)

Another ASFM returnee, with Soldivision disaster Kenshi, who charmed (let’s not be too OTT) a few people with his megasmash Lemon. But before that, there was this uptempo from his smash album “Bootleg”. For me, he’s one of the most interesting artists to break through in recent years, and a prolific songwriter for other artists. Check him out (in my other thread I keep bumping)

 

[Mats]

the YOASOBI tune is quite catchy

 

[COB]

Loving this king!

 

[Tisch]

Loved Lemon, very unfairly maligned. I'm loving this one already. Think I'll definitely check this guy out.
