Kawaii weirdness from Japan
Not really what you’d call a ‘rock chick’ in the proper sense of the word, this Seiko Omori. Too poppy and cute perhaps, or ‘kawaii’ as they say in Japan.
But Omori is darker than most main-stream pop stars in Japan and she is a hell of a good song writer. Her ‘debut album’ is due out in December (so how come I already have two albums of hers on my iPod, one of which was recorded in a church?).
The above video, Kyuru Kyuru, may lead you into thinking she’s a Japanese Cindy Lauper on an overdose of Red Bull and perhaps that’s as accurate as you can get. An indie pop idol.
