Finally a clip from Yagi! They sound great! Except for Kinako screwing up a little at 00:30. It's not a Keihan Girl song, though. "Goodbye and Kiss Me" is the big hit for Denki Candy. It was the end theme music for Kansei-area broadcasts of a heartwarming 2005 made-for-TV dramatic rom-com called 「イヌゴエ」(INUGOE, Dog Voice). About the buddy relationship between a very single residential interior odor inspector and a French bulldog that suddenly begins giving him verbal advice. A theatrical version was released on DVD, but I don't know if Denki Candy was involved yet. No kidding. Here it is at Amazon: www.amazon.co.jp/イヌゴエ-DVD-山本浩司/dp/B000EPFRW2After that, the song came out on a 2006 mini-album with other Inugoe-related stuff, and again in 2007 on DC's one-and-only full-length album for the 3D System label (also home to Tokyo Pinsalocks).

R/Litsuko dropped another excerpt from the LIVE SQUARE show with Ryou Takeichi. Filling in the blanks, this looks like another Denki Candy tune that didn't get onto a recorded release before Ritsuko or Marilyn or what have you split off to work for Naoko. I say that because Milky did this number with Milky way after the breakup, which implies half ownership (lyrics were more her job since R/Marilyn avoided them). It occurred to me that maybe R/L is not publishing complete videos of some songs because she hasn't got exclusive rights to the publishing and/or performance.

More Taneda by moonlight You know… YouTube recommendations are more good than bad.
Former Utopia with Ritsuko of Shonen Knife at Tromso 2013 MAR 24 by George Damnably (05:58) Shonen Knife EU tour 2012 At Tromso, Norway
Ritsuko steps into the bass slot with Former Utopia (Damnably's George Gargan Vo./Gt., Rama Dr., Russ Evans Ba. sitting out). She just hops up on the bandstand for one song.
Feeling restless or sociable, maybe. Or Russ went for a beer.

Litsuko RABUSONGU (Love Song)2017 JULY 04 by Litsuko 721 (05:11) Guitar and song: Litsuko Drums: Kinako kinako-uta.com
2015 February 13, Kina-Channel Vol.13, Daikanyama, "Yagi ni, kiku?" About Litsuko: From time to time I sing and play guitar. I like singing. Keihan GIRL and Denki Candy songwriter, guitarist and vocalist. Currently I take part in irregular live dates as the bassist of Shonen Knife.
August 19, 2017 (Sat) Solo one-man live scheduled "Litsuko Probably The Third Time One-Man Live" Location: Shinsaibashi BuraSute OPEN 17:30 START 18:00 ADV 2500 Yen / DOOR 3000 Yen Ticket reservations are by the BuraSute reservation forminfobrightstage.wixsite.com/rh-brightstage Got the whole song this time! Kinako is not on the first-call list for percussion, no offense. Whether it's an old Keihan Girl tune or not, don't know and can't tell at the moment. They had a cut called "Keihan Girl Love Song" on the maxi-single Kanpaku Sengen, of which the title track is a corny satirical ballad… so possibly/maybe.

"Yagi ni, kiku?" Yagi ni, kiku? ( twitter: @yaginikiku) was a performance series of Cafe Yagi. The phrase could mean any or all of the following: • Yagi, hear about it? • Do you listen at Yagi? • Do you listen to goats? Yagi was a cute multi-use "culture cafe" in the Shibuya section of Tokyo, about 100 paces from the Daikanyama rail station. Quiet, informal, arty and sophisticated, with an outdoor terrace and an all-you-can-eat/drink menu. Affordable. Friendly to families, quiet dates, and vegetarians. Great for office parties and small wedding receptions. Too good to last long, in other words. They were open April 2011 to December 2015. Sale of the "Yaginikaku?" bar is set for our last day of operation on 12/31! A live performance by the act "Enchanting Cosmos" is planned. Let's put on a lively New Year's Eve in Daikanyama! Please look forward to our followup report.Upstairs was a French/Italian cafe and restaurant with a bar and a good-sized great room. Downstairs was set up like a bookstore/coffeehouse, and it was there that they held the Yaginikiku series. That was eclectic to put it mildly. In addition to safe bets like belly dance and Kinako, they presented what others wouldn't — from informal lectures to amateur experimental song recitals to weird and frankly upsetting performance art. There's still a small selection of videos on their YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/channel/UCBAhToCiKxUghytqNePOOgA/videos...

litsuko721 heats upFirst YouTube, now this. Since a week ago. litsuko721Ritsuko ShonenKnife I'm the bass player for Shonen Knife. (Currently participating in irregular lives.) 8/19 Shinsaibashi BuraSute solo one-man show determined!! The bassist of Shonen Knife here. www.shonenknife.nethttp://instagr.am/p/BV36NPohEnN I started on Instagram. I don't know how to use it, so for now, beer.http://instagr.am/p/BV9xgqahymL Photo from around 7 years agohttp://instagr.am/p/BWJ5N5mBEdt Brand new AKOGI. I'm practicing for the one-man with this. #Aria #Legend #AKOGI #Doingalitsukooneman 〜〜〜 AKOGI = AKŌSUTIKKU GITĀ, acoustic guitar Litsuko's nice new akogi is a natural-finish Legend WG-15 from Aria "Legend acoustics boast high price-to-performance. For those who are touching a guitar for the first time, naturally; also recommended for those who want a carefree, playable guitar." 〜〜〜 I wonder if the Aria sponsorship is holding up? If it's value that attracts you, then you would want the lowest possible price/performance ratio. A high one would be the badge of an expensive but crappy guitar. Much as a "steep learning curve" ought to mean learning quickly on a small number of tries. Didn't anybody go to math class? If we were friends I'd tell L-chan that jokes and comments in hashtags are worthless noise. People find them irresistible, though.

Terrible Two's thing, certainly.
Plus, solo singer/player is downright stressful. The whole show is you, trapped in the spotlight.
You really, really gotta wanna.

True, the great hockey goalie, Jacques Plante, who invented the modern goalie mask, once stated that he literally threw up from nerves, before every game... not surprisingly, he died of stomach cancer.

This gives me a little bit of weird. http://instagr.am/p/BWSMFbUhBJZ The oceanー! #Shirahama #712dayparty2017 #LitsukoDoingASoloOneManDoes it strike you as funny, that (calculating) on the 9th, when the whole Shonen Universe is turning around a cellar in Nagoya, Ritsuko's off in Chiba beachcombing? She wasn't on hand for the 4-week blowout last year, either, but sending regards from shore feels like a new level of distance, somehow. And the blending of her separate solo stage name with her SK identity is like, will you just make up your mind? So much blur. http://instagr.am/p/BWcPhnABYSe Vinyl Killer turntable toy on the actual holy day.

Leafleting the competition's event works 'Cause if people like them, they'll probably like you too
And today at 712 DP, Ritchan came to play. Well then— I got a solo one-man live flyer in the name of Litsuko ♪

Who's Nekokichi???
|
|

Post by tangerinesun on Jul 17, 2017 23:58:31 GMT -5
Good question. Search me. Not his real name, I'm sure. Nekokichi is 猫吉, cat/good fortune. He says he's from Planet Nyantro, and that ties into a bizarre conspiracy theory started in 1995 by Ryouen Takeda in a highly, um, speculative book claiming that Earth is secretly ruled by ruthless aliens from the Nyantro planetary system in the Sirius star cluster. The invaders use mind control, obviously. The pyramids of Egypt are their hypnotic energy amplifiers. The banking system is involved, there are hints about their presence in paper currency, for example. Nekokichi is really into grisly horror, science fiction, cats, cute animals, Shonen Knife, and anything that ever touched them. The arm tattoo looks kind of real but I hope it's not. He says, I'm a fan of Shonen Knife. I like reading, live music and movies. I also like cats and dogs. The fire department has a fire.
