In 1986 I was listening toThem and in 1988 I switched to Prince, in my opinion, they have a lot in common both in live performances and musical genres, and they are definitely all true musicians.
I can imagine a very young Kylie (Minogue) singing this - in a ra-ra skirt! Really catchy tune, you know back in the days when music actually had tunes 🥰🎶
Despite these girls lacking in dance choreography and moves, they had the foresight of propagating the Anime fashion-Harajuku styles way before others. The Japanese pop culture was totally captured by them!
I doubt they knew anything about Japan before they went there. They just developed their own style totally independent of anything going on in Japan… or anywhere else, for that matter.
Such a cool interview! The interviewers voice, their voices, the Japanese subtitles. I love how punk was the gateway for them meeting. Same way I met a majority of my friend group.
0:42 I grew up with my dad who was very wealthy for that generation. I was ashamed to say that my father was wealthy. Most of my friends didn't have father s with a lot of money and so they'd always think my life was so much easier. Yet it wasn't. My father was wealthy but my mother had also died of cancer that year and when he received his big position in life. I rather would have had to have my mother than all the money 😇🕊️😇🕊️
I wonder why no one mentions Strawberry Switchblade as the major influence and the precursor for mainstream Japanese styles like gothic Lolita Their music style and fashion sense influenced lots of people there in the 80s and 90s as well
