Jpop: Juice=Juice - Naked, Naked, Naked Kiss (裸の裸の裸のKISS)

Energetic Juice=Juice has chosen a fiery flamenco theme for their "Naked, Naked, Naked Kiss" video, and the text mirrors this passion, even to a degree that makes me a little uncomfortable as it describes quite a different discourse than the current one in Sweden on when and how a man should woo a woman and when to stop. Phrases like "Notice my sign with my breast cleavage, hey" and "A little forcible action is alright with me" could be taken the wrong way. To be fair, the text as a whole gives the picture of a girl simply demanding some attention and loving from her partner, but I am hoping the translation is to partly blame here.

Jpop: Juice=Juice - Don't be spiteful, but embrace me

Just like C-ute, Juice=Juice is part of Hello Project! that also holds the "master group" Morning Musume. And, just like C-ute, J=J has the same awkward and retro feeling that's ultimately so charming and inherently japanese. The video and song feels like something from an 80's tv-series (with a japanese touch), and that just melts my defences totally (just like their last song). It fascinates me how such a fashion-forward people at the same time can dress young girls like 50-year old secretaries... (^_^) The lyrics joins the same cheezy and lovable category. It goes straight into my heart, at least.

Jpop: Juice=Juice - Romance is on its way (ロマンスの途中)

Juice=Juice, a sub group of Hello!Project (and thereby related to Morning Musume) makes their first "real" release with the song "Romance is on its way", which is a catchy schlager that makes me think of romantic tv-series from the 80s, which is high marks from me. ^_^
