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.
