“Kokomo, IN” - Japanese Breakfast (LIVE on The Late Show)

[@M_Sonata]

The Jubilee era was so precious and I'm so sad it is coming to an end soon. Thank you Michelle Zauner for an unforgettable era.

[@wickedawesomeo]

Be sweet and Paprika was my no 1 and 2 played songs on Spotify this year! and I am a Metalhead!

[@flashflame4952]

What a great song...Her voice is lovely and easy on the ears. It kinda has a 'Harvest moon' vibe to it.

[@shweenz]

Funny cause she is a huge fan of games like Stardew Valley, and her soundtrack for Sable definitely shows it.

[@jmoose9216]

@@shweenz If I had to guess, I'd say they were talking about Neil Young's Harvest Moon, not the game. Though it could certainly be applied to that as well.

[@YouFightLikeACow]

She's an amazing person. love Crying in H Mart and her music

[@lillypatience]

i listened to the audiobook while i was painting my house. i had to stop many times to wipe my tears. to hear it in her voice was so emotional!

[@lesap8889]

WOW, WOW, WOW JAPANESE BREAKFAST AND ANDERSON COOPER! Thrilled. Listen to Japanese Breakfast "Paprika" or "Be Sweet". Michelle is also the author of #1 Crying in H Mart. Super talented!

[@harrisonsattley3243]

Never heard of them before, but this song is really soothing - I’m a fan!

[@thomboleyn7]

Check out their song 'Be sweet'

[@eatingketchupchips9567]

tbh not my fav JB song, but they are great, just think "be sweet" "slide tackle" or "savage good boy" highlights their versitality a bit more.

[@Petergalvan]

Not even in their top 10 songs. You need to listen to their live concerts from Chile!

[@banana_junior_9000]

Three albums. All equally awesome.

[@crimson.ghost22222]

Her earlier album Soft Sounds From Another Planet is great, soothing music production, i recommend it.

[@johnmavroudis2054]

What an absolutely beautiful song! Thanks, Late Show for this musical treat!!!!

[@Dogdickdale]

You have the worst taste in music. I’ll bet you love imagine dragons too.

[@stefanocaiazzakindergartenchef]

Genius,best Voice.❤

[@amvg1008]

JBREKKIE fills me with JUBILEE❤❤

[@JamesJones-mm2nm]

I’m watching this in Kokomo IN

[@lorigoshert6667]

I've driven through it many times. Was listening for a mention of all the stoplights

[@theangrysumo]

Was born in st joes. Only reason I clicked on this lol

[@NilsFerry]

Is there anyplace to get a Japanese breakfast there? Rice, nori seaweed, soy sauce, miso soup, grilled salmon, natto.

[@bookbwitched6823]

​@@NilsFerryDamn. Oh hell yeah! Let's have that for dinner? Oh, wait. It's 1:11 AM. After Last Call, let's grab the band, the others that are so loving their music & go to breakfast. I'll have what you're having! Colbert is paying.

[@pauls064]

I’m listening in Marion Indiana thinking it’s the only place worse than Kokomo

[@amvg1008]

Boygenius and Japanese Breakfast?!! Thank you for this

[@KyleTheLEGOMaster]

Why boygenius too?

[@mishmoosh8974]

Just finished reading her book 'Crying in Hmart'. Good to actually listen to one of her songs.

[@thedrizzle619]

Japanese breakfast is an amazing band

[@margaretpeabody243]

😮😊 seeing Japanese Breakfast perform is really the meat of this band. Viewing the floral decorations on mic stands, picking up the sunny yellow theme of her dress and lighting and watching a comforting slide guitarist 🎸

[@imalwaysright]

Haven’t heard of them, but enjoyed it

[@jma4393]

So sweet !! I love !

[@katiehart2211]

i love this song

[@delewan]

So Dreamy! I can't wait to see what Michelle will do next.

[@quelleguesinnovedad]

wonderful. Always love to see them :)

[@mightyone3737]

Great to listen to in the morning with some coffee!

[@puddingfoot]

quite lovely

[@actownsend7288]

My first time hearing Japanese Breakfast!! I like it!!

[@banana_junior_9000]

Three albums. All equally awesome.

[@whoisjue]

this is pure gold

[@Robodude_0528]

This is just great musicianship. Lovely song

[@mimiclausen6533]

It sounds eerily like an early Beatles song In My Life I love you More

[@Em4gdn1m]

Love this album. Glad Japanese Breakfast is getting more publicity.

[@basemmostafa3307]

Nobody: Me: *consuming every single live performance of Kokomo, IN I encounter online*

[@KitKatWiffleBallBat]

I am familiar with them because of "Sable". An excellent video game with unique Sci-fi/Moebius style artwork, and Japanese Breakfast who wrote the music for the game, I believe.

[@井桁卓真-b7t]

I was touched by your fantastic beautiful song!!! great songwriting!!! great work!!!

[@stephxx2863]

Wow...great song!

[@Arion661]

I found out about this band from Conan, amazing and talented

[@user-wk9ov1bk1t]

god i love JB and their music, i feel like there’s nothing like them. does anyone have any similar musicians?

[@crimson.ghost22222]

Hmm check out Color Theory by Tea Leigh ❤

[@michaelgleason340]

In Detroit airport now flying in for the Show tonight.

[@rick1310100]

Glad she is making a bigger name for herself!!!

[@GLesbihonest]

I Love actual Japanese Breakfast. I miss it! I miss living in Japan.😊 Beautiful voice and song.

[@carterhanson6744]

Late night is back, baby!

[@rike94]

Now that the "strike" is over, the talentless, low-rated CREEPS of late night television are back. I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled. True LOSERS!!!

[@figaro-dg5c5]

Beautiful

[@banana_junior_9000]

Good for you, Michelle and band! From gigs in something similar to a shack to the big time.

[@sulthanreyhan01]

Take me back❤

[@shweenz]

Love Japanese Breakfast! They did such an awesome job with Sable. I love how diverse their music is. So bummed their show got rained out when I wanted to see them.

[@theprogressiveatheist7024]

Everybody knows a little place like Kokomo. Now if you wanna go and get away from it all....way down in Koko...Aruba, Jamaica ooh I wanna take 'a to Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama.

[@Vdrum1010]

Finished reading Crying in H Mart recently. Help.

[@wildoceanappaloosawomangay2535]

Shes a great writer

[@bobnunnemin1273]

This makes late night with Stephen Colbert worth watching

[@LukeVanGeest]

Great job my friends!

[@wildflower1002]

This song gives me nostalgia for the '90s. I don't know exactly what it is about this one but it brings me back to the days of listening to The Cranberries and Dave Matthews on my cd player. Can't explain it - and that's okay.

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

Anyone can screech into a mic and shop at Goodwill. Did you ever consider you just have bad taste?

[@whyshazly_1]

she’s so pretty

[@LukeVader77]

Jbrekkie!

[@gustavopff]

I love Japanese Breakfast, but I'm more into her first album ("Psychopomp") and the stuff she did with her previews band Little Big League.

[@Dr_1212]

👍

[@danielklimovich]

I only knew who Japanese Breakfast is because I read Michelle Zauner’s (the lead singer’s) book “Crying in H Mart”.

[@lizinwisconsin6728]

Couldn't understand one word she sang. Nice melody however. Reminds me of something by George Harrison.

[@kenrhoades8040]

why are the vocals always muted? do you noy listen to your stream output - ever??? I thought after the strike you would have fixed this, you are crapping on the art they give. I truly love you all, do you need more money??? love??? attention at home???

[@CrazyAznKT]

Wait what, a song about my small nowhere town?!

[@iamlalapalooza]

how nice. some women. singing a nice song. and there are flowers. it's nice.

[@myjewelry4u]

Please, please invite Teddy Swims to sing!

[@jeromemccollom936]

Huh, I have written letters to the editor in Kokomo, Indiana

[@bookbwitched6823]

Good on you! I so love it when people care enough..

[@AnnaCarlson-b9u]

Have heard of Japanese Breakfast before and this song and instrumental

[@kwyujia]

3:01

[@YoelHyman]

Thanks. I needed a nap

[@KyleTheLEGOMaster]

Does anybody have an extra pair for either halloween, or November 1st, at Union Transfer?

[@lawbinson]

Would love to request having Magdalena Bay on!

[@khayyakkuan5836]

Confused this Kokomo with the other classic Kokomo song of old...

[@JedediahWasHere]

Does Japanese breakfast use they/them? Iidk I’ve seen that and she/her a few times I just want to know so I can refer to them correctly

[@allyson--]

Queen! ... Lord! Savior!

[@yurielcundangan9090]

Hapones always Entertain

[@bookbwitched6823]

​@@BoyzgoatedUnfortunately, at least since 2015, we have been a little too entertaining. NOT entertained tho.. What an embarrassment. LOL.

[@marvwatkins7029]

Zzzzzzzzzz.........Move to " way down in Kokomo".

[@GalactusOG]

Japanese breakfast is what I call a morning shot of Sake. I say Banzai! every morning and have a shot before going to war/work.

[@NuiYabuko]

Shouldn't it be sake and banzai?

[@luvo0oll]

she's not even japanese

[@CybershamanX]

​@@luvo0ollAnd OP said nothing of the sort. Take your negativity elsewhere. 🙄

[@terri6854]

@CybershamanX You're good at unintentional irony. And time for a chill pill.

[@bellaventimiglia35]

@@NuiYabuko Thank you for this correction! It really bothers me when people don’t take the time to learn the Japanese words (pronunciation and definition) they say! Huge difference between “bonsai” & “banzai!” Look it up, people!

[@liborsionko]

Sounds like a drunken memory of a song

[@ThatOpalGuy]

another on the list of things I would eat for breakfast.

[@vampiroangelico]

Songwriting too bland for my personal taste, but I am extremely supportive of live music and all the late shows who have bands play live. 🙂

[@COMPFUNK2]

I never understood why the project is called Japanese Breakfast when Michelle is Korean.

[@queztocoaxial]

If only there were a way to find information about things, but alas we live in the dark ages

[@LB-eb7bp]

Read about it in her book Crying in Hmart

[@amiciprocul8501]

Well Modern South Korea is very much the product of Japanese Colonialism, so it makes sense that they would be some overlap between cultures.

[@myradioon]

Because you don't have to be Japanese to eat Japanese Breakfast. (and she probably did it to make you think about it as well).

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

Seems like another obscure hipster band with a low effort name. Nothing memorable or amazing.

[@robashton8606]

Dogs dinner.

[@divinelyshpongled]

lol someone saw bjork in the 90s and copied the mofo out of her look

[@dieterf.8826]

Why is her voice so quiet compared to the instruments?

[@jongeo]

John Lennon's estate called and want's it's strawberry fields forever chord progression back.

[@rike94]

Why are they playing a song from an album that it was released over two years ago?

[@MaitreMoebius81]

Like a fruits painting; soothing but kinda more meh.

[@fredricclack7137]

🙄

[@gairmac33]

Not Good.... The bar is getting lower and lower

[@ChantePierce-kp3uf]

This may have broken "the bar !" Awful in every way. Band ok, singer NOT !

[@gusgus8134]

Meh

[@teenytinytoons]

Soooooo good
