It's so sad, because the Soramimi Hour group I started has been demolished....I know, there are certain non-Japanese people who takes interest in that segment, but they may be minority so far. After all, this subject is still politically (phonetically?) incorrect for most pop fans...Look at Alexisonfire's Myspace! A lot of fans are ranting about the soramimi skit featuring their music, while a handful of Japanese fans quietly defending.
Anyway, this is the Soramimi in question...."Your mail's not safe in this town" turns into "Yome busaiku deshita" (The bride was ugly). They are laughing at the child's attitude, not the song. And Kaela Kimura likes it so much! Her recommendation led to the presentation of year-end "Soramimi Award"....but sadly, Alexisonfire themselves was not awarded. (Though in the early days, Gipsy Kings has been presented some kind of statue by the TV station.)
2007年 07月 17日 – ルル網10周年夏フェス Day 2
On the other hand, Lulululu army's 10th anniversary live special came to the second night on July 17. Because of the rain (and the day being first working day after continuing Sunday/holidays), the audience were sporadic, but they nonetheless enjoyed the show. here is the digest movie from YouTube:
In order of appearance: 76477, ハルカゼ (halcaze), coquette sure jasmin & lele et moi. The third night will be held at Akasaka NOTE, with the acts Ogawa Sakana, Fooling, Maa Chan and the most recommended: the twin-sisters from northern town Hakodate, Kefi. Look for their breezy, lovely recorder sound!
