Plus, Accorinrin when she's not raging. Made up at M・A・C~💄💋✨ Nothing happens within a hundred miles of SXSW that isn't commercial. The Kyoto girl is working a street version of a traditional geisha face, with maybe something borrowed from the Beijing Opera.

Ummm...... carrot...
To me this is hilarious. I can guess the other two items, but only because I know roughly where she found them.
Successfully ate a Texas steak in Austin, of which the report is that the meat and side dishes were gigantic...!
I'm afraid everything you were told before you arrived is true. The band is eating about half a cow per day.
EDIT: Late piling-on by Yoshie. In football, an automatic penalty. On Twitter, good for a smile at the expense of 'Mericuh.
When I ate steak in Texas, Hirano Remi-style carrots appeared and laughed mockingly.
Another take of the photo of the ungarnished, barbaric china plate with the torched beef filet, the gummy-looking pile of potato slices in mushroom cream sauce, the carrot trimmed with a hatchet and boiled in butter.
Chef Remi Hirano would shove that off the counter and into the slop pail.
It's convention center food. It's supposed to be like a hospital cafeteria, only 8X more expensive. If you want cuisine, go out somewhere.
Stop picking on us. Shonen Knife looks forward to a stop at Golden Corral.

Saturday SMS x SXSW survey of #otobokebeaverI'm enjoying feeling proud of Otoboke Beaver for making their dream happen, and as of now it's happening. I have 0.0001% ownership of this venture, full disclosure. Hiro-chan's MAC face in closeup I'm glad I got made up at MACPop's shot of all their M·A·C faces http://instagr.am/p/BRrWwABlZeJ Color coordinated to the show costume, although for promo photos only. They played as per usual. Yoyoyoshie-chan's regular business face http://instagr.am/p/BRvpZYblXD8 Interviewed on camera, in English, at Maggie Mae's 😅http://instagr.am/p/BRuYWNEhUT_ OMG we are stars for the next 15 minutes and so is everyone else Pre-game jitters It's our turn soon! SKAPARA are ahead of us!! They're formidable!!! Damned if we're going to lose!!!!!
SKAPARA are the jazz monsters of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. You don't want to be in a battle of the bands with them, but trust the organizers. There's no apples-to-apples comparison there, they belong to a different world. A stack of stills from the front row http://instagr.am/p/BRuhBT6DLBN Seven in all, so check 'em out Early in the set http://instagr.am/p/BRuaiQCArZ8 Accorinrin directs http://instagr.am/p/BRuprcThub_ Cross-promotion with my new conquests friends http://instagr.am/p/BRuzUrSFb-Z Middle bit of "What Do You Mean You Have To Talk To Me?" with the armpit-cam http://instagr.am/p/BRvUkIThlhi "OTOBOKE BEAVER no THEME" from Stage Right at a more discrete distance http://instagr.am/p/BRvVUT-BTs3 The OB Theme again with sound like nails on a slate http://instagr.am/p/BRvqIQAhU_h At cruising altitude in rough chop http://instagr.am/p/BRuoFtCAYSy Shoulder to shoulder http://instagr.am/p/BRvsUOElfIh Cheek to cheek http://instagr.am/p/BRvsuxJl1hx They're on again in a few hours at Blackheart, then it's pack up and hope for some sleep on the plane ride home. I'm nervous they will go cowboy like TSMMR. Naw, it can't happen.

The day before the eveningThis leaves only Yoshie in pearl orange still to go At the M·A·C booth, three hours later my green color makeover is done. Let's do our best!
Three hours because there was a wait in line. Pop used it to make friends with Chilean peers Slowkiss. She wants to bring them to Japan. She liked veteran surf punks Guantanamo Baywatch, too. BOBO the snare doctor. Hey, that's a floating drumhead. As said, Otoboke Beaver is live at BLACKHEART starting 10pm local time on the 18th (10am on the morning of the 19th, Japan Time)! We thought there'd be one official showcase, but they just multiplied so we're happy…! We'll do our best! I'm getting lots of advice from BOBO-san, I'm taking maximum advantage of it.Bobo is a Tokyo session drummer, apparently there to do a showcase with singer-songwriter-guitarist Miyavi. Here, if you want a look. Pop explains, "he's a drum god."Her times are all off, it's 8pm local and noon in Japan. Last night Yoshie had to use a rented guitar. From Soundcheck Austin, a rehearsal space up in Windsor Hills, if you're ever in need. The package that did not arrive finally arrived〜 Securely〜 I'm glad〜 We can do the show today with Yoshie-chan's SGThe SG and one cymbal stand were not offloaded with the other checked luggage. They took a 3-day detour to Las Vegas instead. 〜〜〜 More struggles with foodOB's lack of acceptance for American cuisine feels like criticism somehow I asked for a carrot muffin, and it's as if they put shredded carrots in it. It has a cross-section like a hamburger steak.Advice from home on Twitter: It's got CA-CARROT feel! | Uh, yeah, I got CARROT, or the feeling of it lol it has a chocolate smell and is somewhat salty | My face is all twisted up because this has gotten too complicated | What's in my mouth right now is as salty as a triple-combo| Why are you eating something like that!! Spit it out!!!! Sorry, that's just how we do 'em in the USA. A carrot muffin often isn't a light spice cake with a small crumb full of finely minced carrots. It's can be a sticky molasses gingerbread with zucchini and something not far from carrots julienne. Hunks of carrot is how we rationalize eating cake as a meal. I should mention that these are often wet inside, to the point of half raw. Too much salt is just too much salt. Under an inch of cream-cheese frosting, you wouldn't notice. http://instagr.am/p/BRzz3Vah-On Things I ate in Austin... since all the calories are horrendous, I was living on about one meal a day. At least they got to wallow in beef. Can you ID the tasty morsels in the 4-image stack? The top one is... french-fried potatoes? With melted process cheese and chile dressing? And fried onions? And cilantro? And... ketchup? And sesame seeds? And matchstick jicama? And something cubed, breaded, and chicken-fried. Steak? And there's no way that can not have bacon.

Pop's reflection on the eve of battleArtist Yoshie is the ammunition loader Otoboke Beaver on parade once again today in AustinShe had to use space at TwitLonger to fit it all in. It makes it more real, how much they have at stake. That Otoboke Beaver has a second official showcase this time is truly a miracle. Even more so, in that it was added in the middle. Evidence that somewhere we're being rated highly.
I think you'll realize if you look at the SXSW lineup, most of the Japanese artists are paying hundreds of thousands [ of yen ] to get a performer visa for here. Because they have the visa, it's okay if they do performances besides official showcases (it's something like a red wristband). Naturally it's okay if they do a guerrilla show on the street, however they can also cross into other states to do shows. In short, it's possible to tour. Although it's forbidden at SXSW, in other places they're permitted to sell merchandise.
In comparison, for people from other countries, I imagine in many cases that visa is relatively easy to get, probably. 〜〜〜 [ I think I have found that Pop's wrong to suppose a performance visa is harder to get if you're Japanese. Japan is on a short list of most-favored partner nations. If you're off that list you've got a real problem. ] 〜〜〜 For our part, we're using a visa exemption, and while per-person it's insanely cheap to apply, around 2,000 yen, we can't go outside of an SXSW official showcase (yellow wristband). We can't play live on the street, we can't play live in other states, and if we make money from something like the sale of goods, we incur penalties like a ban on travel to America from now on.
According to what I heard, this seems to be getting more strict year by year. The experience of people who've been to SXSW before seems to be largely invalid. Moreover, the barriers to appearing in an official showcase are high. In many cases, it's hopeless without calling on an advertising agency.
We've had it done through our UK label, but no matter how much you spend on advertising, there seem to be so many instances of the pattern of getting only one showcase. It seems there are even people who have finally won a single showcase after more than 500 agencies asked for it.
Therefore, we are really lucky, you know… Since I truly don't want this opportunity to be for nothing, tonight I'll mechakucha try my hardest. mechakucha… it means, to a crazy, messed-up, preposterous degree. http://instagr.am/p/BRzMyfqgdK_ As the Instagrammer says, IT'S A VIDEO!

Swear to god, Pop is standing on the edge of the venue's front yard, holding up an Otoboke Beaver flyer to direct people to the show. At right, behind the KEEP CLEAR sign.

Not only are they cute, their live show was insanely cool too 🎪🎪❤ These girls are young — 21! Amazing! I told you I want to go on tour together before too long. I want to make it happen!If the enthusiasm holds up, there's your bill for a 2018 US tour. The year revived grungy retro-alt riotgrrl mathcore lipstick noise screampunk bursts into flames. http://instagr.am/p/BRyejSnlkLJ Slowkiss are on tour right now in Southern TX & CA through April 06. SLOWKISS BIOGRAPHYslowkissband.com/bio/ A Santiago-based, English-speaking quartet lead by two sweet-singing girls who manage to combine the noisy darkness of shoegaze with “scream-in-your-face” punk rock and ethereal-sounding pop – in a most original way…
Slowkiss say they are moving to LA (how?). Hard to believe they weren't born there. As far as originality goes… punk + shoegaze + darkness is the recipe for grunge. From tiaras to tattoos, their look and sound is as old as they are, but <cough> nevermind. How long since you've seen a mix of perfume and venom like "Forever Together"?

Golden Week in no time at allInterview: Otoboke Beaver "People in Japan perform feelings without moving bodies. But people in UK tell us directly."Japanese punk rockers take to the UK for a Golden Week tour 2017 MAR 21 March by Rebecca Monks for The List www.list.co.uk/article/89648-interview-otoboke-beaver... Accorininrin's hope is that "people not only in Japan but also all over the world listen to our music. I want to perform our music without being caught genre," while Hirochan says "I want Otoboke Beaver to go on fun side!"The comment from Hiro-chan follows a remark about OB being a bit on the dark side. Worth a read, but I was disappointed by the fundamental failure get through. The author turned around and attributed that to the band, saying that they're just enigmatic people, which is the level of insight that characterizes this. Also, try harder with the spelling of unfamiliar names.

Perhaps a bit unkind on the interviewer as I don't know how the interview was done. I'm guessing some questions got sent off and some answers came back, some translation software got involved and that was it. Not much evidence of stuff getting fired back and forth. Perhaps the interviewer hoped OB would write the piece for her as she was too "jazzed up" to write.
