Yun*Chi Releases Shake You Mini Album
Via Natalie Tv 4-16-2013
This past week we've had a fairly uneventful letdown in Asian news overall as The Great Eater failed to destroy the United States, Japan and Korea all in one big giant blowhard! I mean come on Kim what's up dude?!?! Oh yeah, we all know you're just so ronery! But don't worry, Ambassador Rodman is "coming again to save the motherf#cking day YEAH!!!"
However, there was one big huge explosion of musical happiness and stunning beauty that went off big time in Japan when our favorite Asobi System singer/songwriter Yun*Chi released her new mini album entitled "Shake You" just the other day. Here she is performing the title track on Nihon TV's new music variety show called Music Dragon ミュージックドラゴン. And, don't worry guys, you don't need to understand Japanese to fall in love with her forever:

Here are some beautiful new self-portrait photographs of Julie Watai at the Meruheso "Fairy Tale" Antenna Shop in Osaka. Styling design by Hirokoten Doremi. This is a new "cute styling" brand of items in line with the very popular Japanese "cute" or "KAWAII" wave of fashion, music and multimedia now seen throughout the world. Julie Watai is a descendant of an old traditional Samurai family. Hence the title of her first world famous photo book "Samurai Girl".

Popular Youtuber Mike Diva recently went to Japan and saw this very OMFG WTF new Furby Japanese TV commercial! It begins as a 'normal' cute and KAWAII "Space Furby" ad. But then about halfway through, suddenly the TV screen starts going fuzzy, and we then see little Furby burning on fire!!!
Then, suddenly, Furby is on a demonic sacrificial altar!!!
Is this the end of Furby? How did Japanese TV become so evil and exciting? This has to be seen to be believed:

Yesterday mishmash＊Julie Watai released the short version of their fourth single/music video entitled "Go Furby Go". The full length version will be available from October 26th, 2012 on iTunes, amazon.com, Google Play and other sites. Meanwhile please enjoy the abridged compositions on Youtube:
English
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBItKqGfa2U
Japanese
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEZhpnvO7Q
As an early listener of the full length audio release, I have come to really appreciate this slow, mysterious tune in its expression of the lifestyle of a very busy model/singer and her music team. More than just an "an ode to the toy" this song features some interesting English, Spanish and Japanese lyrics in an abstract array describing some hasty preparations and inner feelings leading up to a fictional mishmash＊Julie Watai TV debut. Also featured is Furby's hacked voice that babbles some cute and funny electronic phrases in English and "Furbish". Additionally, in the video we get to see Julie-san wearing some sexy lingerie by Neon Opera Tokyo. mishmash＊Julie Watai is Toyoaki Mishima, Julie Watai and Masu Hiroshi Masuyama. Be sure to download this group's popular mp3 songs from Amazon, Ototoy and iTunes.
