Japanese Rock/Jazz Fusion Tokyo Jihen (Tokyo Incidents… but Jihen sounds so much cooler, right?) will be in charge of the theme song on Satoshi Miki’s upcoming drama starring Joe Odagiri and Chiaki Kuriyama. It seems like they were chosen because leader Shiina Ringo is popular among staff member — I’m already liking the staff members.
The song will be called Tengoku he Youkoso (Welcome to Heaven), which will be available for mobile music download on July 21st, and regular download a week later on July 28th – with no physical release.
1. Open up your iTunes, music player, spin the CD, whatever, hit shuffle and tell us what is the first song to play…
Yuguo (羽果) – Ronnie Monkey from Babel (巴别塔)

I really wanted to change one of the songs, but the song I wanted to add has escaped my mind. I have only heard it a couple of times, so the group didn’t stick with me… only the description as “they look like the Japanese Rolling Stones” – They lead singer even looked a bit Mick Jaggerish with his skinny pants and his movements. The song name — I suppose — is KIMOCHI, but because it has such a name, it seems impossible to Google. Do you know the song I’m talking about?
The guys kept singing KIMOCHI, and I’m pretty sure it was written in Katakana.
Anyway, if you know… leave a message~
*EDIT* Yes, I found it. I’m so good. xD Took 2hrs though xD
In the meantime, you gotta listen to this new Japanese mix~
GO!GO!7188 – 浮舟 (Ukifune) – Floating Boat
PARAN MAUM – リンダリンダ (RINDA RINDA) – Linda Linda (From the movie Linda Linda Linda)
Spitz (スピッツ) – ジュテーム? (JU TE-MU?) – Je t’Aime?
MONGOL 800 – 小さな恋のうた (Chiisana Koi no Uta) – Little Love Song
It’s been quiet in the Yu Aoi news lately (weird, considering Otouto was released), so I did my usual search on Google and came up with a couple of things. First, that cover.
I swear, this is the first time I’ve bought a magazine for a photoshoot with my “fave idol”.
If I could have my way, I would have Yu do all her PBs with Yoko Takahashi… or Marisa Shimamoto… and finally Keiichi Nitta. If I could have my way. Of course, Mario Testino would be awesome too. xD
And finally… Anyone know what this article is about? Many news on this, and one of them Google-translated as “Aoi Yu produced” but I doubt she’s producing, or she’ll be all promoting in her website.
ps. I’m fascinated with how those shoes work with the socks…
and the bombachos ha! And that smile is so damn contagious…
