Perfume














Please help! I'm in an awful fix! I can't decide if Japanese technopop girl group Perfume is absolute dreck or absolute genius!

They sure are cute as a jar full of buttons, though. I love it when they sing the phrases "Linear Motor Girl" and "Sweet Doughnuts" and "Chocolate Disco" in English. And the videos are hallucinatory.

Fandub







1) You like a Japanese song.

2) You think you can render it in English.

3) You are wrong.

The scoop on fandub.

Ika Musume

image
There is an anime character named Ika Musume. She is an aquatic being, a "squid girl." She is conventionally drawn as you see to the right.

After the jump, you can see how one fan imagined the reality inherent in the term "squid girl."

Mildly NSFW.

How can we not endorse a movie where the "weird" guy seems to be the hero?

CanKan


Cankan - Kıvıra Kıvıra
Uploaded by leleyla. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

Here's one description of Cankan: "CanKan is tagged as: the worst thing ever to happen to music, failed at life, shake that ass girl, officially shallow, dark ambient. CanKan is a group that represents some random Turkish guys from Germany that makes Turkish music."

My own description would be "Borat meets The Matrix."
