Highlights from the 22nd of December show

This year Brazil celebrates 100 years of Japanese immigration, Roberto an I decided to pay homage to the event and on the 22nd of December we played a Japanese song in our show, Owaranai Uta (The last song), by The Blue Hearts. We also talked a bit about Hiro, a nikkei character from celebrated comic book author Mauricio de Sousa.



Also in the show, Flores em Voce by Ira. This song was the official sound track for the Brazilian TV drama O Outro, released in 1987.

Also in the show Flores by Titas with Marisa Monte, great song from their Acustic MTV album.

We also played a song by today's most popular contemporary nikkei artist, Luisa LoveFoxxx (Luísa Hanaê Matsushita), Music is My Hot Sex performed by CSS. We can listen to this song very often these days here in New Zealand because it is the theme for an iPod Touch comercial.

We finished the show by playing Astronauta by Gabriel Pensador with Lulu Santos, Alegria Alegria by Caetano Veloso, and Maluca da Vida by Manu Chau.
