I just want that picture of Aiko to be at the top, so there she is, in LA.
What do you think Brian Wilson meant when he sang, "I wish they all could be California Girls"? I used to think that he wanted to give some superiority to the girls from California, like they were so much better than anything the world had to offer. And now, with an adult mindset, I'm thinking he was just wanting a girl of every type to choose from, right in his hometown; living there, as opposed to being from there. Kayo Aiko could be a California girl, she'd just have to move to California; then it's up to Brian to sort her out from all the rest.
Apparently, piracy isn't all that rampant on the internet. I've had my song previews up for almost two weeks, and nobody's really taken advantage of them, yet. Steal something, for crying out loud!
'Joshi Kashimasi Monogatari' means 'Noisy Girls' Story'. I call it 'The Kashimashi Song' so that means it's the 'noisy' song. Therefore, it can't be 'The Kashimashi Song' unless it is turned up so loud that it makes you bleed internally. At least, that's the logic I follow.
'Kakegoe' is a Japanese word which can be translated into 'a voice for decoration', and Wikipedia explains the similarities I've heard in more than a couple Tsunku-written songs. Things like 'sore sore sore sore!' and 'ha iya sasa'. This is a list of songs which incorporate similar lyrics, inspired by folk tradition and festival atmospheres:
-Tomodachi wa Imasu ka? - Sharam Q ('sore sore' and 'iya sasa')
-Sukiyaki - Morning Musume 6th album ('ha iya', etc.)
-Piriri to Ikou - Berryz Kobo 3rd single ('ha iya, etc')
-Koi no Dance Site - Morning Musume 8th single ('sore sore')
-Shiawase Kyouryuu Ondo - Odoru11 ('Do don ga don')
-Do Don Ga Don Ondo - °C-ute (see song title, etc.)
-Dancing! Natsu Matsuri! - 10nin Matsuri ('dokoisho dokoisho')
-Tan Tan Taan! - MilkyWay ('Dontokoi!')
There's probably more, but this should serve to illustrate what I'm talking about. See also 'kuchi shoga' regarding drum emulation.
