Ukraine 2016 - Japanda - Anime


I can't tell you how disappointed I was with Japanda's appearance in the second Ukrainian semi on Saturday. Now you may be thinking: "Colourful costumes, Japanese style, dancing bloody pandas - this is right up your street!" But no. If you've ever seen any of their other work you will share my disappointment.

Anime was a slow, ploddy, hook-free morass of a song, limply based of the Japanese J-Pop style. Previous tune Tamagotchi, however, was a riotous explosion of colour and sound that made you grin from ear to ear quite involuntarily. If you don't believe me, click here to see what you could have won...

Now of course, those not so well versed in the pop stylings of the Far East have been quoting Dolly Style as their only reference with regards to Japanda. Boy do you have a lot to learn. Both acts are a pale imitation of the queen of all colourful pop Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Just watch this and discover what you've been missing all your lives. But be sure to have a couple of pairs of sunglasses handy, as it's quite possibly the most visually lively video of all time!

  1. This looks like a parade of all the girls Liam Neeson failed to rescue from European sex traffickers in Taken, dressed up in those costumes the rich businessmen like and being forced to listlessly go through their routine until some rich Saudi sheikh buys them up.

    Or it could just be a really boring entry.

  2. Wow, thanks Roy for sharing the delights of Japanda's Tamagotchi and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
