japanese soaplands

and here we have another outtake from This Riot Life: a version of Soapland Serenade sung in Japanese. that’s us: maiko, patsy, skye and me, singing phonetic japanese. except maiko of course, who actually speaks the language. skye had a leg up because of his extensive karate lessons. maiko’s mom was in at the session, taking care of hokuto and being the eagle ear for our pronounciation. i’m still longing for the country of japan to totally embrace us so that we can go there and play and eat and visit miyazake. just letting you know, japan.
