Isn't that 'tan + white lipstick style' called yamanba?
Sachiko wrote:Amara-sama the second picture is not ganguro, it is yamanba. Yamanba is its own style. I am a yamanba. I wear Alba Rosa, Cocolulu, Egoist,
Kaimana, and the rest of them. Yamanba comes from Japanese word yama uba, which means mountain old witch. They were ghosts in Japanese mythology that haunted people travelling alone in the mountains. We are all about dark tans. Our white lipstick, stickers, and makeup and hair style vary from ganguro. We love flowers and the California valley girl look. Our mission is go against the standard Japanese norm of a black hair submissive wife. We drop out of school, some have babies at 15, and rarely go “home”. It is thought of as a taboo lifestyle and scary in Japanese society. We don’t care what others think, we support each other and are a minzoku “clan” that are rebellious. We enjoy parapara techno dancing and spending cash. Our life is not all fun and games, but we live it to the fullest. We try to be kawaii(chute).
I like her teeth better then those of the average westerner.
Atleast she has vampire teeth.
I had those too when I was young but due to the stupid western society and my mother they were destroyed and replaced by fakes.
I wish I still had them though.
All errors are intentional but mistakes could have been made.
Dear god! This woman Kana has the most awful voice I have ever heard. I klicked the link above and now my ears hurt. The poor girl is obviously suffering from horrible, horrible brain damage. There's an interview among the related files, and she talks like she is in need of psychiatric attention.
this thread reminds me how fucking terrible all J-music is.. the japs are great at many things but for some reason they absoluteley suck at making music
the destruction of everything, is the beginning of something new. your whole world is on fire, and soon, you'll be too..

No, they suck at making popular music and singing (mostly).
Their composers are second to none and they've created some of the greatest instrumental madness available.
+Not all j-pop is bad, just listen to the ZOE soundtrack or the Gitaroo man.

yeah thats an amazing ONE japanese band i like theyre good live but i hardly like everything theyve ever done.
i hardly think one band (especially melt banana) can be representative for the entire j-music scene..
Nuke had a good point about composers tho, some are really good. (gitarro man is awful)
and no i dont think i would hit that clown.. actually i think i changed my mind about the ganguro one too (just happy i dont have to deal with it IRL acompanied by a smashing hangover )..
