Kahimi Karie - Elastic Girl

[@ur2ban]

I wish I could say that I accidentally found this song, but in fact I'm here because of Tokyo Vice 3-rd episode, like many others :) Nice show, nice song

[@doomereugene]

Same, I was surprised when they mentioned Kahimi karie, dragon head, and 20th century boys.

[@Anthony.S.Wave72]

Me too!

Hello there, me too🤭😄

Me too llloooolll

[@zombiezombie5451]

俺には１つ夢があって、この曲をチバユウスケさんにカバーしてもらいたかった カヒミ・カリィの歌だからめっちゃ意外やし何なら正反対に思えるかもしれないけど、この曲結構ロックやし、絶対、チバユウスケカラーに染めてカバーしたら絶対面白くなってたはず 仕事中に頭に浮かんだんだよね、チバユウスケさんがこの曲を歌ってる歌が まあ今となってはそれは永遠に叶わぬ夢となってしまいました、、、、、、御冥福をお祈りします

Also here via Tokyo Vice. Plus, I lived in Japan during my junior year of college (attended Waseda Kokusaibu), so I get a lot of the references and experiences of Adelstein. I even wrote a couple of articles (in English!) for Mainichi Shimbun and did a few things on NHK. That was in the 70s. Arai Yumi was big then, maybe this artist was inspired by her. Catchy song. Clever lyrics!

[@remon563]

cool piece of history! where do you live now and what was your experience in Japan like?

[@kumaguy6115]

@@remon563 I live in the Los Angeles area. I was in Japan for 18 months, living in Tokyo, Kyushu, and Tochigi-Ken. So, big cities and rural farmland. It was a great experience!

[@helenJones-lc4sc]

Wow, that is interesting.

[@Monscent]

I was at waseda 2008-2009 and yeah, the show does remind me alot about the feel of the city too

[@kumaguy6115]

@@Monscent You might check out the streaming show, “Pachinko”. It’s about. Korean family forcibly immigrated to Japan pre WW2. They struggle to retain their own culture while trying to find success in Japan. They have high hopes for their very bright son, who we see apply to and get entrance to Waseda. It’s fun to hear the constant references to the school as being so prestigious. They depict the school’s earlier buildings.

[@liasophia3172]

Tokyo Vice brought me here, happy it did.

[@friendlier]

It's so interesting to see where she began and where she is now. Her music has become more challenging with time, and always kind of mind-blowing. I got to see her in the late '90s in New York, with Momus on guitar. What a memorable show!

[@strawhatbird3758]

If you're still alive, could you tell me a little bit about the show?

Here because of Tokyo Vice! love that show and now here whatever that show gives. 😊😊😊

[@veebeewai]

Still one of my favorite songs and the album it’s from is still one if my favorite albums. I used the title as a username back in my teens but everyone kept thinking it was from the The Incredibles movie but her name is Elastigirl without the C. So then ppl called me e-girl instead which ironically also came decades before the term e-girl was a thing. Lol

Kahimi was recommended to me almost 15 years ago (before the upload date of this video), and I only just got around to looking her up. Not disappointed.

damn 15 year old comment

[@kae5253]

no way, this comment is older than me

[@lokitadom]

woah.... i always thought that negishi (AKA krauser) loved this artist that .wasn't real.... but she is... i was surprised to hear the music and it was how i imagined to be really pop soft music!

[@helenJones-lc4sc]

From what I read (on a blog site who knew them both) she was the girlfriend and muse of Cornelius Keigo Oyamada however, he was a tad controlling hence her fleeing to Paris..

[@jamesblake5176]

Sounds like Japanese blues traveler mixed with beck and Shirley Manson. I totally dig it. Brings me back to the 90s

[@star4002]

It misses it very much! It listened well at ..ten years or more ago.. high school days. Thank you!

Funny. . .i woulda' never heard of her were it not for all the times her name was dropped in 'Detroit Metal City'. It seems Krauser's alter-ego is a big fan of hers, lol.

Ik this comment is 5 years old, but fun fact: the harmonica player for this song, Nobuo Yagi, was actually a part of The Seatbelts group that performed Cowboy Bebop's music! Though Yagi didn't even play on the soundtrack from what I could tell, almost all the crazy harmonica stuff in Cowboy Bebop was done by Ryuichiro Senoo lol
