As you may have guessed, i chose a photo that is not really meaningful to me, but to a whole generation (probably):
This
is the photo I chose that I really like. If you ask me I really do not
know who took it, it probably was taken from a professional
photographer, since it is a promotional image for the Japanese trio
“Shonen Knife”. The photo basically shows the band image, which
consisted of Naoko Yamano (vocalist, centre), Atsuko Yamano (Drummer,
left) and Michie Nakatani (bassist, right) I do not know when the photo
was taken, but, by judging the band appearance, it seems to be it was
taken sometime around 1990.
I
really like this photo as I already told you, because this band is a
blast, a really cool rock and roll band. It derives from the punk
movement in the US, particularly, from the “Ramones”. By the way, these
three women from Osaka used to be called the “Osaka Ramones”. Their fame
came to the western world basically because it was one of Kurt Cobain’s
(Nirvana’s singer-songwriter) favourite bands. He was the one that
promoted a strong passion for this group. It is no secret that this
photograph represents the essence of Shonen Knife, three strong-willed
women that like to rock and roll on their own terms.
Cheers.
What about you?
I was listening some shonen knife music and I think the album that I liked more is candy rock. Usually the japanese artists that I listen are into j-pop, one of my favorites is YOASOBI, I highly recommended!

ReplyDeleteI had no idea this band was one of Kurt Cobain's favorites! I guess I'll give some of their songs a listen!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of that group before, but it looks very interesting. I'm going to listen to some of their songs!
ReplyDeleteI didn´t know that group exist, but it looks interesting. I listen some songs of a group from Japan too! and it's called Atarashii Gakko! you should listen to their music
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that band but the photo certainly captures their essence as a strong group!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, I had never heard of that band. I looked for them in Spotify and the truth surprised me a lot, they are very good and have a sticky rhythm to their songd. Some parts reminded me of songs from Studio Ghibli movies or an anime intro.
ReplyDeleteI don't know these ladies, now I listen to their songs, they are not bad!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you find the image and its representation interesting. It's great to hear that you're considering looking it up. Discovering new things and expanding our knowledge is always exciting.
