[COB]

OMG I love this one

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 19 - MAX - Give Me A Shake (1997 Japan)

The legends themselves.

This is in fact their first (and shamefully currently only ) Number 1 hit in Japan and got nominated for a Japanese equivalent of a Grammy.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

also covered on that TV show Jennifer Paige was on by Sheena Easton

@COB will share a link at the end

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

GROOVY TRAP

 

[Diddy]

Give me a shake!!!

 

[COB]

They really are just everything, I did a bit of a sample of their discography a while ago.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

let's all meet in Japan for one of their gigs

 

[Diddy]

They really are just everything, I did a bit of a sample of their discography a while ago.

Have you messed much with Girls Generation? I rented their Japanese GH thinking there might be a few keeps and fucking hell. It was like a Girls Aloud GH just dropped out of the time vortex, the maximality! FAR TOO MUCH

 

[COB]

They actually have a thing on Spotify called the ALL SINGLES MIX that's like an hour-long megamix of everything in a continuous mix, but cut into individual tracks so you can hop around.

I haven't I shall investigate!

 

[Diddy]

Hey boy, you wanna give me a shake?

I still don't really understand what that will mean

 

[Diddy]

I haven't I shall investigate!

I'm perhaps overselling it but it truly was a transcendental experience that will echoes through the ages

 

[Diddy]

Maybe it's a milkshake

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 20 - Suzi Kim & Khan - Edge of Soul (1995 Japan)

Opening theme to Soul Edge, the first of the SoulCalibur series. the group Khan was put together for the development of the soundtrack, with South Korean Rock singer Suzi Kim providing her vocals to the theme.

It has no right being as epic as it is!

 

[Diddy]

WHAT this is a curve ball

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

WHAT this is a curve ball

wait till you see what is closing

 

[COB]

God I loved Soul Edge

 

[COB]

A tale of SOULS and SWORDS, eternally retold

 

[COB]

This song absolutely BANGS, obviously.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Seung-Mina sub-forum when

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

ending on an oddity next

 

[Diddy]

Well this was fun never played the game, mind

 

[Diddy]

I'd better down this lemon chu-hai if this is the end

I do have a HOT DOG EGG to show COB, but I might keep it for a troll entry in ASFM

 

[COB]

Oh this!

 

[Diddy]

OMG HER!!!

SUKI!!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Song 21 - Jun Togawa - Suki Suki Daisuki (1985 Japan)

The best way to describe Jun's music is avantgarde and ironic, tackling taboo topics or commenting on social issues.

 

[COB]

An ASFM legend!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Kiss me like thumping, as blood clots on my lips
Hold me, as my ribs breaking
I love you so much
I love you so much
I love you so much
Say you love me or I’ll kill you!

The chorus

 

[Diddy]

DERANGED QUEEN! I love this so much

 

[Diddy]

I know I get a lot of shit for peddling my amazing Japanese stuff on ASFM because everyone is racist, but dear sister @Lucille really knows how to pick them!

 

[COB]

Who entered this again, was it @Lucille?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Concluding procedures, here is Sheena Easton covering MAX!

​

 

[COB]

That black hat look with the GLOVES is just

 

[Diddy]

Turning LOOKS, stunting LOONY

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Thank you both for joining, had so much fun running it again and was in great company as usual

 

[COB]

What a treat, thank you @Haiku! Starting our Sheen now

 

[Diddy]

OMG thank you @Haiku
I don't know why I was feeling so shitty but your tireless work is happiness butter for the soul

 

[COB]

You know what, she's really going for it! She's NO Jennifer Paige though obviously.

 

[Diddy]

If anyone wants their tits blown CLEAN OFF, and you have Amazon Prime, I think you should be able to see Perfume's Polygon Wave concert - to infinity

 

[Diddy]

Ooh Sheena really did a great job!!
