Audio Snacks 3 to 5

Crazy food is ideal for the road. It's also what Cibo Matto means. This super-cool band was originally formed in 1994 NY by Japanese-born Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori. They carried the food to a number of song titles, including "Know Your Chicken," "Apple," and "Birthday Cake." They also do an AMAZING cover of "Candy Man" which i recommend if you can find it. Unfortunately, they had few videos, one of which is "Sugar Water":
Teriyaki Boyz are a j-hop band from Yokohama, Japan. Their "Tokyo Drift (Fast and the Furious)" provided strong beats in the movie of the same name. This movie thrust the sport of drifting into mainstream Western consciousness. Need I mention that I also loved the movie (and read the required sub-text into it where possible)...? I LOVE this song!
Gwen Stefani provides the last song for today, as well as the most tenuous thread of relevance with her so-called Harajuku girls the lyrics: "Like a cat in heat stuck in a moving car, A scary conversations, Shut my eyes, can't find the brake..." Damn, Gwen! You do have wicked style.
