A CD just arrived
that I’m very excited about! It’s super, super niche, but it is tied to Sailor Moon, so; Here’s a nice clean rip of the song Samantha from the GO-BANG’S, a funky little 80s/90s J-pop band comprised of three women – Mitsuko Saito on drums, Misa Tanishima on bass, and Kaori Moriwaka as lead singer and songwriter. They were quite popular for a couple of years, but left a lasting impression with their quirky sound and irreverent lyrics. I love them and this song in particular is my favourite, and there are very few GO-BANG’Svideos online, never mind music files, so I was very happy to get this album.
So where does it tie in to Sailor Moon, how did I find out about them, and why should you even start to care?
Well, in 2003, Kaori Moriwaka – aforementioned lead singer – went on to play Ikuko Tsukino, Sailor Moon’s loving and lovable mother, in the live-action adaptation Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon!
Kaori’s reputation as frontwoman of the GO-BANG’S may have influenced her potrayal of Ikuko, who was also kind of kooky and eccentric, inserting some more personality into what had previously been a relatively minor supporting character. I love PGSM, I love PGSM!Ikuko, and I love bombastic synthy 80s J-Pop, so this is a win/win/win!
Despite this being a long and very niche post, I hope you can all dig the song.
