This one made me chuckle : " We naively requested a stripped-down set, in keeping with the vibe of the SOTR sessions. When the band arrived at the studio, we set up and suggested maybe just a hi-hat for cymbals. Sure, they nodded and agreed. Drummer Emi Morimoto asked for another cymbal stand. Okay, maybe just a ride cymbal, we hinted. Soon enough, she was wailing on the kit with a nice, high crash invading all the mics. We had to respect that. And, in the end, we’re glad we’re not the ones who got Shonen Knife to water it down." sourceIn reference to these recordings.

Good work Soligen... and, nice avatar
kafkaOTS 1 year ago Enjoy! I saw them last year when they had this lineup, and they were great. If it's not sacrilegious to say, I think this lineup might be as good as the original. Ritsuko was one hell of a find.

"Ritsuko was one hell of a find"
The same goes for Emi. The last drummer Etsuko was beautiful, but nothing more. Emi however, is beautiful, but also funny, charming, cute, and has a typical happy/silly/Japanese personality. She fits Shonen Knife perfectly and represents everything that Shonen Knife stands for.

I agree with what you're saying, Emi is so Shonen Knife and fits in perfectly.

Basically, I agree , but, Etsuko was MORE than JUST beautiful, she was also one HELL of a drummer; but, personality-wise, I agree that Emi fits the SK mold much better

I don't know anything about playing drums, so I can't compare them on that. So I compared them on everything else!
