Dreams Crushed, Dreams Realized

Written by Jeshii on 2009.11.28 – 04:19 -

So, I heard a rumor that the K-ON! songs were so popular that they would probably be included in this year’s 紅白 (kouhaku), the end of the year Japanese music show that has been a tradition for millions. It broadcasts outside of Japan, so check your local listings (generally on the local Japanese channel).

I was all hyped up to see K-ON! songs covered or just done by the voice actresses. But it was not to be. The line up for 紅白 was announced and I don’t see anything that indicates any K-ON! happening.

Crushed!

Then I found out that SCANDAL, who you may recognize from Japan Nite 2008 fame, the high school girl rock band in 制服, did a cover of Don’t Say Lazy:

And the voice actresses are doing a live event on December 30th in Yokohama. See the public site for more details. Here is the TV spot:

Dreams come true! While I can’t go to the Yokohama event, I will be happy to know there will probably be videos.

Why do I love K-ON! so damn much?!?!

In other news, Perfume is going to be on 紅白 again this year. I’m guessing One Room Disco will be their song, since it is the only song I ever heard from them this whole year. Last year’s performance was kind of weak, so I’m not holding my breath on this one.

    You don’t happen to have UK TV listings or any idea if there’s someone streaming it or posting it up after?
