Don't go on ONTD then lol. They practically praise the ground she walks on, and I had no idea who she was until I saw that SNL performance.

Is there a new single yet??

Koishikute is coming out on the 26th.
There's a good chance she's going to release another cover album. Shake Hip is up for preview on her site. She's doing something with Pink Spider (a song by hide from the 80s) along with other artists, and her costume is causing a bit of a stir.
That's about it, I think?

I'd advise people not to go on ONTD as a general rule tbh. It was great from 2005~2008 (ONTDK summer) but then it's just been utter crap ever since they let one of the mods on the LJ developer team -- especially since he's just a troll and a terrible bastard buuut w/e. Kuu.

The few times they posted about kuu made me generally happy, now I just linger around for GoT posts, because that show is my crack.

[Bad Wolf]

I LIVED for their Juggalo posts. Oh my god. Pure gold I don't remember them posting about Kuu, or any Asian artist. I mean the few times I saw Kpop posts go through years ago people just kept complaining that no1curr about Asian music because they just copied white people and yes I am totally serious about this.

Thanks for the update. Why is her costume causing a stir though? Didn't see the costume so idk.

[Bad Wolf]

She's wearing a headdress and other native-style clothing, and it's not very... nice looking, I guess would be the best way to say it. She's basically just in a glittery bra and a short feathery skirt.

The other girls seem to be in costume, too, but I don't know if they're also from other cultures or if they're just blessed with horrible fashion sense.

In comparison I could say this as JUST as awkward as when Dita Von Teese dressed up as the stereotypical "dragon lady" for one of her performances. People weren't sure if she was glamourising the stereotypical and offensive sexualising of Chinese women, or if she was just in character (and thus, well, showing how stupid that is). The whole thing was pretty over the top so I really doubt it was played straight.

OH okay. I understand now. Reminds me of this


Sigh.. wish people wouldn't do this.
