introduction:

"shiritori" is a japanese game. the first player says a word, the second player must say a word beginning with the last (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 supposed to say the same twice.

This consists of two shiritori matches: the first one features maki-chan and the two kids from ugo-ugo lhuga. the second one features other characters 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 and adults who watched it. it often featured very surreal
Sketches. some of the crazyness of the programme was immortalised in this album, especially this track, shiritori shimasho.

(editor's note: although theoretically for kids, the show's title is the "go-go-u ga--ru" pronounced backwards, a "go go girl" being slang for the kind of party-all-ni
Oung lady so often sung 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 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. other of the show's hipness: ba
Und posters featuring bands as big drill car, and others.)

It was very difficult to translate this track because a lot of the humour and irony of the original just wouldn't work in english. after I had the translation and re-read it, I realised
Ort of reminded me of the tea with the mad hatter from alice 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 one forgets they are not actually making any sense.
