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?
Hello teacher, while I´m reading the post I searched the band in spotify and lisened, It´s very cool I really like it, I didn´t know they. This band and their story, comparing it with the Ramones made me think in the band "Baby Metal", that it´s too band of japenese young womans that has a heavy metal band, but their are so cute <3, you should lisen it and search a video of one of their concerts, it´s very cute and cool at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHi teacher I'm really amazed because this group have the issue song from The Powerpuff, the style from the song is like Teen Titans from Puffy Ami Yumi, this two series are part from my infancy. The japanese bands have a special concept that you can recognize easily and is very funny.
ReplyDeleteHello teacher, your post was an invitation for me to listen this band. Right now I'm listening to their songs and I realized that I knew some songs, now I can recognize those songs with a band, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHello teacher! I really had no knowledge of this group, but I feel that this photo represents the entire essence of it. The girl with the drumsticks catches my attention for her expression and pose in the photo, she looks very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi teacher! It's a very beautiful picture for a moment I thought it would be a band singing a popular openning of some anime. I will definitely add a song to my Spotify playlist.
ReplyDeleteHi teacher. You unlocked some memories from a dark past. I remembered my cousin listening this band all time and telling how awesome their music were. I never heard them, besides through my cousin speakers, maybe I'll give them a try now.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for sharing this with us. It´s nice to go back to this kind of stuff and think about what it means to us. It may be comfoting sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHi teacher, it's a very nice photo and a good musical group.
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know that band, I'd like to hear it someday!
ReplyDeleteHi Rene! I didn't really know this band. Thank you for tell us this story because I love music. In fact, one of my hobbies is knowing new bands or singers by watching YouTube.
