Diddy's Asian Persuasion IV: Sunday October 3rd 13.00 BST

[COB]

Good song though!

 

[COB]

How is babby formed?

 

[Diddy]

Good song though!

They're a group I haven't been able to pin down genre-wise at all - This is probably the one song that sits between "Shin-Takarajima"'s 1997 Chart Show Indie Chart and "Maybe, Wind"' dancier vibe

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh god, an earnest song about a child.

I'm off for a shit.

 

[Diddy]

18] Uru - Anata ga iru koto de (Being with you)

Slowing things down as we approach the end, this beautiful and heartbreaking song and video from singer Uru was the soundtrack to the drama "Ship of Theseus". It doesn't quite fit in the playlist if I'm honest, but something about the vocal, the arrangement and the video has made me a bit teary-eye almost every time I've watched it.

 

[Diddy]

Oh god, an earnest song about a child.

I'm off for a shit.

I was ABOUT to say wow, I almost got through a DAP without Zen totally slamming at least one of the tracks, but then I saw this coming up and LO AND BEHOLD

 

[COB]

Oh don't listen to that pile of scabby old HOOF didz

 

[Diddy]

anyway that ISN'T the story

and the mum isn't a drag queen (I thought maybe)

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I'm a sucker for these syrupy but sweet sincere Japanese love heartache songs.

I have cried a bit every time she's a good face actress

 

[COB]

It's very pretty!

 

[Diddy]

It's very pretty!

I sense you're just being polite but TAKEN

 

[Diddy]

Probably the wrong song to be almost 6 minutes but hey, almost at the end

 

[COB]

Now we're off to SPACE

 

[COB]

Amazing what you can make out of washing up liquid bottles

 

[Diddy]

19] Utada Hikaru ft Sheena Ringo - 2-Jikan dake no bakansu (Two-hour vacation)

Yes, I'm finishing with another Utada song because shes's great, and it's another collaboration. This time a fiercely-fringed and slightly lesbionic duet with 90s icon Sheena Ringo from Utada's 2016 album Fantome. What a gorgeous video. I always thought Sheena was famous from way back, but the two women debuted almost at the same time, and Sheena is only a few years older.

Anyway, I thought it was a fitting way to end our little 2-hour-ish vacation, I hope you enjoyed it!

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Absolutely wonderful <333

 

[COB]

Love Utada

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

oh Sheena Ringo featuring

 

[Diddy]

Well we aren't QUITE done yet

 

[Diddy]

I think this fringe and long straight sides is my favourite ever Utada look

 

[COB]

Utada has so many gems I don't know, I really should do a deep dive into their back catalogue honestly

 

[COB]

This video is STUNNING also

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Really enjoying this sapphic delight

 

[Diddy]

LOVE this video so much, so SLEEK - futuristic with the vintage technology too

AND THE HAIR!

 

[Diddy]

Yeah Fantome does veer into jazzy noodlings a bit too much but there's gems in every album

 

[COB]

Thank you @Diddy!

 

[Diddy]

If I had my way, there would be SEVERAL sync watched and listens I'd suggest that would flop totally

 

[COB]

Queen of cross promotion!

I STAND BY THIS

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Thank you for putting this on Diddy

 

[Diddy]

Please watch the last video too, it's currently my worst performing video out of the last 10

Not great considering that series was the actual GOAL of the channel in the first place

 

[COB]

Speaking of shameless promotion, my Bond Themes Rarities playlist is COMING SOON!

 

[Diddy]

Thank you for putting this on Diddy

I think it's the only time I really get to talk to you, let's do something more often - I know NOTHING about you

 

[Diddy]

I don't know how my skin looked so great in this video, I want it back

 

[Diddy]

DELETED CONTENT: Toilet Break music

 

[COB]

If you like ceramics but HATE WESTERN THINGS !

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

On the note of shameless promotion, my Asian 80s-2004 throwback playlist is COMING SOON!

Just gotta get through the chunk of responsibles from the workpile I've inherited in my new job. HOPEFULLY NEAR END OF OCTOBER.

[Diddy]

Thanks everyone for your attention, all four-ish of you Feel free to keep watching all my Youtube channel videos and share with your friends
