This song and entire album by Sana (鎖那) has been on my heavy rotation as of late. It's the kind of breezy jpop that was popular when I first got into it 20 years ago. The girl in the MV is not actually Sana, but a performer named Nene Totsuka from another group called tipToe.

That's super catchy. And I really like her dancing -- it doesn't look like she's trying to show off, it just looks like she's accompanying the song. That dude though, fakest jump ever. XD

That looks almost like the list of dates for the Sex Pistols' infamous 1978 U. S. tour. XD

It would have been such a good opportunity! XD
Su could have taken the Johnny Rotten role (but then one of the other girls would have had to be Sid, so maybe not... :fear: )

Which reminds me - I've run into a lot of odd/incidental Sex Pistols references in the Jpop idol world. I'm sure that it's because a lot of people in idol production and promotion look on Malcom McLaren as an inspiration - after all, there's even an idol group named after him...


And needless to say, pretty much everything that comes out of Wack seems like it has some kind of Sex Pistols connection (Watanabe wants so much to be McLaren XD ).

One of my favorite unexpected references is this -- look at the patch on the shoulder of Rina's blazer starting at about 16 seconds in...
