Diddy's Asian Persuasion - THE SHOW (26/9 13.00 BST)

[Diddy]

ACT FOUR – The one with the guitars, not sorry


Alexandros - Dracula La (2015)

Fresh from their disaster in Iggyvision, Alexandros aren’t the typical J-pop I’m into, but shock I’m into rock a little bit these days. Or at least stuff like this that reminds me a bit of BritPop, which, shock, it turns out I didn’t hate, I just wanted Spice Girls to keep getting #1s

 

[COB]

This noodles ad!!! This ad definitely fucks

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

A man with a guitar singing to a woman?

I worry you've misjudged your audience @Diddy

 

[Ig Komme]

The ladies are into it this time!

So fickle!

 

[Mats]

@Diddy , there was a big hit back in 2014 when we both penetrated the Japanese border. it could've been Amuro and some man? an uptempo tune but I can't find it...

 

[Ig Komme]

Does this one have a FIVE MINUTE outro like their other one?

 

[TiShh]

Better than Migratory Bird. Might have flung this one a point.

 

[Mats]

RIP to the Scatman

his lovely scatty pudding lives on

 

[Diddy]

Does this one have a FIVE MINUTE outro like their other one?

I can neither confirm nor deny because I can't remember but maybe not

 

[Diddy]

I seem to have brought these ASFM encores on in descending order of popularity, which was an oversight

 

[TiShh]

Better than Migratory Bird. Might have flung this one a point.

Nah I take this back actually

 

[Diddy]

Oh whoops, yes it does have a long outro double woops

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

But how many gold and silver tokens did they collect!?

 

[COB]

If this is the guitars section I hope we get the theme song to the anime Sarazanmai, which is a rare recent anime I've actually watched and some folk here would possibly like, mainly because it's extremely gay and has songs in it I'll explain nothing else, but here's a screenshot I shall not provide any further context on:

 

[Diddy]

Nah I take this back actually

I guess I'm glad you sort of liked it for a bit
at least I didn't make the totally wrong choice

I REGRET NOTHING

 

[Diddy]

But how many gold and silver tokens did they collect!?

They didn't crack the crystal maze (or the predictable moopy audience )

 

[Ig Komme]

I can neither confirm nor deny because I can't remember but maybe not

LIES

 

[Diddy]

Masaki Suda – Sayonara Elegy (2018)

He’s a famous actor, but he’s turned his hand to singing as many Japanese celebs do. I find him quite sexy but his hair is fucking terrible 90% of the time. His co-star in this video is so pretty though, and are they seriously going to kiss??

 

[Diddy]

@Diddy , there was a big hit back in 2014 when we both penetrated the Japanese border. it could've been Amuro and some man? an uptempo tune but I can't find it...

Sorry... I didn't really follow her, but I have got her GH downloaded somewhere so I'll have a nose

it's Britney, bitch

 

[Diddy]

I hope @ButterTart isn't too cross

(mind you the thread title was right all week)

 

[Diddy]

Have you all fucked off because of the guitars? loo break?

 

[COB]

Just noticed all the padlocks hanging off his trousers. Tetsuya Nomura MUST BE STOPPED

 

[Diddy]

FACT: Masaki Suda did an underwear modelling campaign, showing off his rail thin bod and no penis

 

[Ig Komme]

Have you all fucked off because of the guitars? loo break?

Is there some pop soon to win me back round?

 

[Diddy]

Radwimps – Zenzenzense (2016)

This smash #1 was on Radwimp’s soundtrack to the ultra-successful anime “Your Name”, which you really should check out, it’s not as weird as you’re imagining. Their soundtrack was a real soundtrack to a good portion of my time in Japan and still makes me feel a bit weepy sometimes.

I promise this is the last boys with guitars song

 

[COB]

They didn't kiss

 

[COB]

Is there some pop soon to win me back round?

Hoping for a Yoko Ono section after this! And of course the much loved Tarako ad.

 

[Diddy]

Is there some pop soon to win me back round?

After this Radwimps one it's all pop (well there's a guitar but it's a girl singing so)

 

[Diddy]

Has anyone seen Your Name?

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

I promise this is the last boys with guitars song

OH THANK GOD.

 

[TiShh]

I don't think those guitars are plugged in

 

[COB]

Has anyone seen Your Name?

I haven't, but apparently it's LOVELY and SAD?

 

[Ig Komme]

This has been my favourite guitar one

 

[Diddy]

I haven't, but apparently it's LOVELY and SAD?

Yes, but not tragic, this isn't Grave of the Fireflies - 100% recommend it and this soundtrack is just <3 (maybe this is better in context)

 

[COB]

Monkey magic

 

[Diddy]

Monkey magic

You know that's another band, right?

 

[Mats]

I thought YOUR NAME was SHIT and not the hot kind

 

[Diddy]

Ayumi Hamasaki – M (2000)

An ultra smash from one of the biggest names in J-Pop, empress Ayumi Hamasaki with her Like a Prayer moment. Well not really but it’s in a church and it’s the fucking TITS

 

[COB]

You know that's another band, right?

I know NOTHING!
