Tokyo.
I saw The Specials at Zepp Tokyo in 2017. I've been a fan for as long as I remember, so I got tickets straight away when I heard they were coming to play in Tokyo. It was my first time seeing them live, and I couldn't get over the fact that the musicians I had listened to for so long were right in front of me. As a band, they don't really interact with fans while onstage, and I thought the casual way they played was super cool.
It’s not a UK influence as such, but B-horror films. In terms of UK influence, I’m a big fan of mod fashion.
Club Asia in Shibuya.
I'm a bit of an introvert and not the type to go all out on the dancefloor. However, I remember seeing the didgeridoo player GOMA perform at Club Asia, and it sent me into some kind of natural trance; it was like a state of unexplainable confusion. I think I was 18 or 20 years old at the time.
It's pretty cheeky, so I wouldn't actually do it, but I like the idea of meeting David Bowie and clapping my hands while looking into his face (laughs). I saw the documentary 'Ziggy Stardust' and I just remember his very well-proportioned face.
I’d like to hang out at Terry Hall’s (The Specials) house and just relax on the sofa and watch a film.
The US band, Talking Heads. Their music feels fresh every time I listen, and I highly recommend them to younger people out there. I wasn't aware of the Tom Tom Club connection, and I only found out about them when I first met my husband; he suggested I listen to 'This Must Be The Place'. I also really enjoyed the movie 'American Utopia' with David Byrne, one of the core members.
The playlist is a mix of cool songs from multiple generations and genres that sound fresh at any time of the year.
If I think about UK music that I would consciously play on repeat, then The Specials 'A Message To You Rudy' and 'Little Bitch'. I played those tracks all the time. I bought The Beatles' albums, such as 'Help!', because I felt that's music I needed to know, but I didn't listen to them that often. I felt the same way about bands like the Sex Pistols, too.
‘Little Bitch’. The title tells you all you need to know (laughs).
I sound like a broken record, but it's The Specials again and their album, 'The Specials.' There are several albums that I got as a child that I have continued to listen to, and even clothes that I have been wearing since primary school. There are also some films I've seen about 300 times. I'm that type of person.
‘Little Bitch’. It’s a great track to have on in the car.
Perhaps The Beatles. I think that might be unexpected. My favourite song of theirs is ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’ because of the rather unorthodox way it develops.
The Kinks. It’s music I’ve known for quite a while, so not really a band I’m listening to right now as such, but my husband has them on all the time.
