Video Subbing: KREVA on MUSIC LOVERS (September, 2011)

Here's an episode of Music Lover's featuring Japanese hip hop musician Kreva. After finding huge success with the group Kick The Can Crew in the early 2000's he also created hits as a solo act after breaking up the trio. He's one of my favourite Japanese rappers..well one of the few that I like, as I'm not really a fan of most Japanese hip hop artists (who often unfortunately try to be 'black' too much). Kreva doesn't though, and although he may sound to poppy for purists, his lyrical skills are top class. It also helps that you can usually understand what he says as he doesn't really try to be 'cool' and use lame accents lol. Anyway, he's released a new album called "Go", which means 5, I think to either commemorate 5 years being solo or it being his 5th album. I'm feeling too lazy to check at the moment.....sorry.
He performs a song off the new album called 'Kijun' (The Standard), which is evidently directed at lame or "fake" musicians. I found it really cool and will now look to get his album......

PS. I didn't subtitle the song with the other Kick the Can Crew members in the video as......well I couldn't be bothered. It's hard translating songs, especially hip hop. As I just found out.

Video Subbing: HOTEI TOMOYASU on MUSIC LOVERS (2011.05.15)

Hey here's the video sub for the Hotei Tomoyasu (Hotei Introduction) 30th Anniverasry Speical on the show 'Music Lovers'. In this video, he celebrates 30 years of work in music with a short concert and interview. I subbed his first song but couldn't be bothered doing the others because it takes to long.....sorry.







TOMINAGA AI
There's another guest in this show called Tominaga Ai. Not sure what the point of her being there is really....She's supposed to be Hotei's friend but she only says a few words and I really didn't see the reason for her being there.

Anyway, she's a pretty successful model, going on the runway for many top brands like Gucci and Dior....and all those other clothes companies....



HOTEI'S WIFE
Hotei talk slightly about his daughter and wife. I've mentioned her in previous Hotei video posts but I'll do it again anyway. His wife is Imai Miki, a famous pop singer and actress, who was very successful in the early and mid 90's.

GUITARYTHM PATTERN
The Guitarythm pattern is Hotei's logo. He has it one some of his guitars and some of his album covers.
He doesn't make this pattern out of seaweed for his daughter's lunch box though....

Maybe he can do this instead

BYE!
