I don't know if this is at all pertinent, and liberally lifted from an article by Kazuma Yamane on the evolution of kawaii; As an allusion in kawaii writing, the term sex was replaced with the verb nyan nyan suru, “to meow meow”.

Thanks for the plug!
My plans to return to the project have been set back to mid November. But this time it's for something good.
I'll be playing in two bands (two!!!) on November 10th and I'm busy getting all those songs ready for performance and doing rehearsals.
No Shonen Knife songs. The ambivalence to SK is daunting sometimes.
Anyway it promises to be an old fashioned Lower East Side drunken mob scene and I'm really looking forward to it.
My plan is to get back to works right after.
thanks again
Joe

New bootleg DVD on DIME - Shonen Knife at Manchester University (1992). I upload this with little changes to YouTube: - www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC7gCq8gHm4 Camera from first row, awesome concert feeling - unfortunately sound is not the best (very thin vocal range and distortions). Frame from concert: Michie with full smile (very rare moment). Cobra vs Moongose, Space Christmas and Antonio Baka Guy - headbang. DIME Info file from uploader (upload another 3 SK audio concerts from 1991 & 1992 to DIME): ------------------------------------------------- Shonen Knife Manchester University, Manchester, UK, 1992-11-25 (PAL DVD) 01. Bear Up Bison 02. Flying Jelly Attack 03. Devil House 04. Riding On The Rocket 05. Cycling Is Fun 06. Animal Song 07. Brown Mushroom 08. Catnip Dream 09. Twist Barbie 10. Johnny, Johnny, Johnny 11. Boys 12. Space Christmas 13. Get The Wow 14. Cobra Versus Mongoose 15. Antonio Baka Guy Length - 48:46 NTSC Video camera(VHS tape or one of those little tapes?) > VHS tape(NTSC) > VHS tape(PAL. Conversion done in 1993) > LG DVD/VCR combo > DVD-RW disc > TMPGenc DVD author(add chapters & menu,no re-encode) > VIDEO_TS folder PAL DVD Menu Chapters at the start of each song Video: MPEG2 Video 720x576 (4:3) 25.00fps 6556Kbps Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo 256Kbps Another one from Birstum, he lent me the tape in 2010 to make a transfer. The gig was videod by an American who was in the UK on holiday, Birstum saw him filming the gig, spoke to him and arranged a trade. That's why it has NTSC in the lineage. The NTSC to PAL conversion was done not long after obtaining the tape, probably in 1993 and after that he re-used the tape containing the NTSC version. Dime rules allows for NTSC>PAL in the lineage if the conversion was done in pre-digital times, as this was. wiki.dimeadozen.org/index.php/DimeFAQ:Frequently_Asked_Questions#What_is_DIME.27s_policy_regarding_reencoded_videos.3FAttachments:

Well, that certainly gives the meow meow meow chorus in "Miracles" a whole new meaning! (I think we've found an SK song with a hidden meaning here!)

Ah, but if you look here, according to the Love Meow website (amongst others): lovemeow.com/2009/11/how-to-say-meow-in-different-languages/Meow in Japanese can be any of these: “nyan”, “nya”, “n’yao” or “ myah” I guess it depends on the translator as to which word/spelling is used. So...

Their second Cargo gig was another great one and when they left the stage it felt as if they'd only been playing for ten minutes or so. The time just flew by.

If it's "nyan nyan SURU" then wouldn't the song have to include "suru" to have that meaning? (I really have no idea, but I don't think those songs have anything to do with sex)

Hey let's face it, Naoko is a sex maniac hahaha

Last friday, I saw Shonen Knife in Utrecht! I requested S.P.A.M. in Japanese, and they fullfilled my wish! Naoko even called me a GENTLEMAN!! My life is now complete. You don't believe me? Here's the proof! www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-j1eMtiJUcI have uploaded all the other videos of that show as well. Enjoy! The full report is coming soon. @ Jaicee, I have also uploaded videos from other bands, including one from The Offspring, the rest will follow soon.
