Miss S ! ! ! If they do not vote ...Shoot them ! ! !
She Says:
Asian women seem to be very much more active in the Music industry than in the west and they play, write, and produce music of all genres.
Mr P and I would like to celebrate the contribution of Asian women in a He Said ~ She Said post (or maybe more than one). But there really are so many that we can not decide which ones to make the post about.
So, we need your help to decide ! ! !
He Says:
At the risk of sounding like an old pervert ( which I am, of course) “I like girls”. Specifically Asian girls ( not in THAT way…er..well…maybe a little..I can see myself digging a big hole here…..).I’ll start again.
I admire tremendously the music produced by the women of Japan and other Asian countries. Contrary to the perceptions in the West, perhaps, the ladies appear to be “doing it for themselves” far more than they do over here where the predominant “girl sound” is manufactured pop pap. Sakura and I would like to share a few tracks with you all. There are so many to choose from we’d like to divide the “Girlie sound” in to several posts
The three choices we we have selected are . . . . .
♪ ♫ ♪
Rockers
We will explore the world of the hard rocking, ass kicking Asian rocker chicks ! ! ! Asian girls are really active in all rock genres as members of mixed groups and also in all girl rock groups.
We will discuss some of the best!!!
♪ ♫ ♪
Cuties
Discover the hidden world of Kawaii ! ! !
Maybe the most misunderstood of all words in Japanese by non Japanese speakers.
Kawaii is often translated as cute, but is more than this and actually comes from the ancient Shinto belief in animal spirits.
♪ ♫ ♪
Single Girls
There are lots of really great singer songwriters and solo artists. So why not discover some Asian sisters who are doing it for themselves ! ! !
There is a really interesting scene with many really great singer songwriters writing about the experiences of young women in Asia today.
♪ ♫ ♪
We would like you to vote for the topic you want us to do next ! ! !
So please vote and you will be entered in a free lottery with the possibility to win some wonderful Spill Points!!!
You could do all three!
I think we plan to, it’s just a question of which first.
Yes ! ! ! Mr P and I want to do all three and maybe some more also . .
I’ve voted for Kawaii, but it would be great if at some stage you had the time to cover all three categories. As I’ve said before this is a great series – thanks to you both.
lr.
ps. Sakura – yes my sister is v cool
Thank you, mysterious anonymous poster, it’s nice to know our efforts are appreciated.
Mr P ! ! ! It is Littleriver ! ! ! !
I also voted for Kawaii because the other two have, to some extent, been featured in previous posts. Now I’m paranoid about accusations of my real motives!
I was really surprised that anyone voted to Kawaii – but it seems quite popular ! ! !
It is something different from the normal spill type genres, maybe that is why people are interested ? ? ?
It’s not all about pretty girls in pink bunny outfits ( more’s the pity !)
