Congatulations to °C-ute for winning “Best New Artist” at the recent 49th Japan Record Awards. I was really impressed to see a band who’s ages range from 11 to 15 win an award that is hotly contested by many bands. When I heard the news, I thought it would be appropriate to head over to Youtube and listen to one of their songs. The first song that popped up on the Youtube search was “Ookina Ai de Motenashite”. Whilst I’m not totally sure if this translation is 100% correct, I believe it means “We’re going to kill music for three minutes”. Or something.

Here’s the video. Watch it, stem the bleeding from your ears then return. I want us to be on the same page here.

I did warn you. This is quite literally the worst music ever.

PURE EVIL

These are children! Why are their parents allowing them to become figures of international loathing? Beloved by Japanese school kids but absoloutly nobody else! Imagine if you were a parent of one of these kids and you wanted to take them on holiday. Where are you going to take them? If you visit England you can rest assured I’m going to tape you to a rocket and blast you to the moon. Even then I still wouldn’t be able to get the horror of Ookina Ai de Motenashite out of my head. If I formed a band with my friends asnd made music like this my parents would shoot me. I’d thank them for it. Frankly this lapse of judgement has gone on long enough. Stop the insanity!

If you enjoyed the song, please leave a comment including your name, address and what time you’d like me to come round and beat you with a spanner. Many thanks.
