Mods versus Rockers, big fighthttp://instagr.am/p/Ba9MR9shRW9 Really lovely Onee-samas whom I love ✨✨ Plus, "Young Americans" sung by Turban Chadha Jr. (Hideyuki Takahashi) is a quite excellently cool bit of sweetbread. They're one of the bands I want to go on working forever.The Scooters are aligned with what's call the "Tokyo Motown Sound". Long interview in Japanese right here: D's Talk alone_03 "Have Fun with SCOOTERS"2012 Summer by Denny Okuyama for D's Talk Sessions at Sakatomi.com www.sakatomi.com/iFrame_2/scooters_a.html I reconstructed a story I wrote on the blog.
It's about an '80s Japanese band I've been irresistibly attracted to… [ SCOOTERS ]. They never had a hit, they were never a wildly enthusiastic live band. They're a party band assembled mainly as a hobby by people whose main business is design…

http://instagr.am/p/BeRGZ1rAXK7 UFO last Saturday — The Scooters' encoreThe Scooters bring back Motown. I'd love to pull the plug on that quacking rhythm guitar. http://instagr.am/p/BeRKN_AgUER UFO's GOROPPA last Saturday. I arrived at UFO about the end of The Scooters' rehearsal, burrowing through The 5,6,7,8's GOROPPA. Yottchan told stories of liking The Scooters from the old days, stories like Lucy from The Scooters naked, taking photographs in G-string, it was entertaining to have done a talk show, Yasu-san please let's have a talk show next time too.
Even though it's crowded and you can't see anything. Daddy-O is not the world's tallest guy. GOROPPA is his personal language or an abbreviation that's obvious to everyone but me. His endless running series of commas with no stops seems extreme even for Japanese. http://instagr.am/p/BeKbrDUAoLR Commemorative photo in the dressing room from the time The Scooters came out to Mods Mayday at Citta some years ago, please excuse me but for some reason I'm in the center of the front row, sorry LOL.
This is "Bye-Bye Goodbye", Al Wilson's "The Snake" was the original inspiration. Of course I've been listening to "Bye-Bye" since long ago, I'm getting sad, it's a masterpiece. UFO today, Scooters' GOROPPA, Kan-chan sold out, they sold out even in the old days, as I came up to the hall I was hearing this leaking out.

Mods Mayday 2013 opened at Club Citta at the Citadel in Kawasaki, as in the past. For a visual extravaganza of Japanese mod living history and cosplay buffs, just click: Google image search for <モッズメーデー CITTA スクーターズ>It got this writeup on the blog of Tokyo expat Miho Hatori. After relocating to NYC, she found some success with a thing called Cibo Matto. Tokyo correspondent Kyoko wrote a couple of days ago that Elle.co.jlp isn't going to host blogs anymore, so after 10 years of writing the whole show is coming to an end soon. MODS MAYDAY ’132013 May 17 by Kyoko Kitahara for Miho Hatori's NEW YORK "2" TOKYO blog blogs.elle.co.jp/hatori/2013/05/mods-mayday-13/ …celebrating its 33rd anniversary, "MODS MAYDAY '13" will be held at Kawasaki Club Citta again this year.
It's a cool party that continues to transmit Mod culture from the UK of the '60s.
It opens at Kawasaki Club Citta, the main stage of MODS MAYDAY which will be held at 10 locations nationwide.
Many-colored scooters outside the venue are an annual decoration, the floor will overflow with mods smartly dressed in '60s fashions, time slipping into the 1960s.
This year The Scooters, whose guest appearance was in 1982, appear at MODS MAYDAY for a reunion, which is absolutely not to be missed!With additional text, photos and a link to here: Tokyo Disco Night (single version) – SCOOTERS2008 NOV 10 by sixofme (03:12) "Tokyo Disco Night" 1983 single version 〜〜〜〜〜 The album version is up at nicovideo, but they do make you jump through hoops to see even a low-quality feed: www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10068036It's longer, not necessarily better. What you notice about these renditions is how Detroit they do not sound. 〜〜〜〜〜 More dope on a monster Christmas show from The Scooters in 2013: The Scooters, Juicy Fruits, Kotaro & The Bizarremen at Shibuya WWW2013 DEC 14, text and photos by Patrick Benny for the Tokyo's Coolest Sound music blog coolestsound.jp/reports/The_Scooters_Juicy_Fruits_Kotaro_The_Bizarremen_at/2013.12.14/010095/ On December 5 was a show featuring The Scooters, and it was held at my favorite venue, WWW in Shibuya...
Being a big Pizzicato Five fan I had known of art director Shindō Mitsuo for some time, and if I'd have known he used to be in a band I'd have checked it out right away.
But my first encounter with the Scooters was quite random... Includes bunches of photos and a couple of videos from the event.

Still on a mild Scooters kick. The Scooters at Mods Mayday 2013You have to put up with a little off-key screeching from singer Ronnie Barry to enjoy this Brill Building hallucination. Double show, because archival video of the group in their heyday is simultaneously running on the projection screen behind them. Includes a flash of the inexplicable bare-naked footage of saxophonist Lucy, the stuff Daddy-O Nov said Yoshiko "Other Ronnie" Fujiyama was using for storytelling ammunition last week at UFO. ザ・スクーターズ / あたしのヒートウェーブ2013 MAY 18 by Hiroshi Tago (02:18) The Scooters / Atashi no HĪTOWĒBU (Heatwave), in progressMods Mayday'13Last number: 東京ディスコナイト / ザ・スクーターズ2013 MAY 18 by Hiroshi Tago (04:58) Tokyo Disco Night / The Scooters Mods Mayday'13
