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

[COB]

GARUDA! I feel a bit scared of that because it was always some FLYING MONSTER BIRD BASTARD in Final Fantasy

I always think of Garuda from Street Fighter EX

A demon!

 

[Beverley]

enjoy the mellowness of this

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 18: MAX - Love is Dreaming (1998 Japan)
Time for some JPop with a touch of rap and piano lounge to go along with it!

 

[COB]

These visuals!! I need to get into an anime hole right now

There used to be a channel that posted SOPHIE demos with looped anime clips like this (they were particularly fond of queen Lynn Minmay from Macross), I wish it was still around

 

[Diddy]

Do you think that's the wind or is she wanking him off?

 

[COB]

More MAX!!

 

[Diddy]

OOOF that opening dance shot!

HERE FOR THIS

 

[COB]

It was MAX who have the surprising cover I found!

Spoiler

It's Whigfield's Saturday Night

 

[RJN]

I'm into the extreme 90s vibe of this

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

that piano middle eight is a delight

 

[COB]

I love this sort of Nineties New Jack Swing-lite sound

 

[COB]

Also! On Spotify there's an album called something like MAX All Singles Non Stop Mix, it's an hour long and does exactly what it says on the tin

 

[Diddy]

Not @Haiku leaving it right until near the end to TURN IT THISHARD

 

[Beverley]

THIS IS ACE

 

[Diddy]

They LOVE a non-stop mix here

 

[Diddy]

Eternal WHO?!?

 

[RJN]

This would have fit in perfectly in the eurodance playlist!

 

[COB]

Oh wow!

 

[Diddy]

OMG something wicked this way comes!

 

[COB]

@NUT ROAST get in here!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 19: Koyote - Paran (Disturbance) (2000 South Korea)
Given how well this group went down last time I did this, only fitting to have them back.

 

[RJN]

If I submit this for ASFM, nobody tell

2000?? I assumed 1994

 

[COB]

Imagine a club where they just played stuff like this

 

[Diddy]

There haven't really been that many hot Koreans this time around, this one maybe, and the misogynist McDonalds patron.

BUT BY GOD DID THEY BRING THE CHOONS

 

[COB]

The rap! It's like a Korean Cappella!

 

[Diddy]

I think Haiku needs to hook us up for the next ASFM and we ALL go in with shit like this. HOSTILE TAKEOVER

 

[Beverley]

 

[Diddy]

It's a new year, time for a NEW ASFM WORLD ORDER

 

[Diddy]

This choreo is HAUTE GARBAGE but they are COMMITTED!

 

[Beverley]

is this malay, little @Haiku ?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 20: Nadilah - Salahkan Aku (Blame Me) (1997 Indonesia)
Random discovery on YouTube from a playlist. lovely throwback ballad (though sounds more like 1987).Like the dulce tones in her voice.

 

[COB]

Liking the mellow vibes here!

 

[Diddy]

Talk about tonal WHIPLASH

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

there's two more songs left (I made one late addition, if the playlist didn't add it for you will post a link here too)!

 

[COB]

The late addition definitely isn't on my list, so I'll need the link for sure

 

[Diddy]

Anyway lovely semi-closer!

 

[Diddy]

I've got Seiko on mine - but only one

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 21: Seiko Matsuda - Sweet Memories (1984 South Korea)

Time for something syrupy and princess-y to take us near the end of the show. Seiko Matsuda is one of the most prolific Japanese songbirds and this song is a wonderland.

 

[Diddy]

What a lovely glob of gloop!

Poor woman though
