introduction:

"shiritori" is a japanese game. the first player a word, the second player must say a word beginning with the last character (syllable) of the first player's word, the third playe
T say a word beginning with the last character of the second player's word... and so on. the players are not to say the same word twice.

This track consists of two shiritori matches: the first one features maki-chan and the two kids from ugo-ugo lhuga. the second one features other from the programme.

Ugo-ugo lhuga was a programme for kids, now discontinued. it had a cutting edge quality to it that assured it became a legend among kids and adults who it. it often featured very surreal
Sketches. some of the crazyness of the programme was immortalised in this pizzicato album, especially track, shiritori shimasho.

Oung lady so often about in p5 songs. this was a hint that the show was also aimed at the hip young party-goer returning home at the break of dawn, having just caught the first train out of
O. the animated title sequence, indeed, featured a godzilla-size party girl rampaging through the streets, only to be felled by three young boy superheroes. signs of the show's hipness: ba
Und posters such bands as big drill car, and others.)

It was very difficult to translate this track because a lot of the humour and of the original just wouldn't work in english. after I had finished the translation and re-read it, I realised
Ort of reminded me of the tea party with the mad hatter from in wonderland (and I certainly used much of it's language as a model for the translation, unconsciously) -- all those people pla
This game in a completely subversive manner, going really about it, but acting as if everything had strict rules which should be properly observed. the dialogue is absurd, but everybody is
Erious about what they are doing one they are not actually making any sense.

My favourite line is 'oyamada keigo? otona? '
