Konnichiwa!
  11:15am Katya Oddio:

Konnichiwa, Lewisisan! Looking forward to this one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18am charlie:

Ohayo gozaimasu, Oddio-san! Me too :)
  11:45am Carmichael:

Hey Charlie! Japanese records, eh? So I guess that's lots of Cheap Trick!
  11:46am listener james from westwood:

happy to be here for the festival of the endless pelican dance!
  11:49am doyle:

doyle dean likes this
  11:50am Brian in UK:

Hello Charlie, james, Carmichael & Katya. Is that Scott Williams junior being carried?
  11:53am Brian in UK:

My mistake, Scott jnr is a goose.
  11:59am Michael:

Hey now charlie! And I see James and Brian and doyle and Carm and Katya. Greetings and happy 10/11/12 day.
  12:02pm Matt from Springfield:

Hi charlie and other Japanophiles!

Glad you noticed as well, Michael! The last one of those dates this century (Europeans have until 10. Nov 2012 for their last).
  12:02pm listener james from westwood:

this show will go nicely with the book on modern japanese history i just finished copyediting.
  12:05pm ndbob:

heya charlie and everyone!
  12:05pm Carmichael:

Charlie, will you play any Plastics today? If Japan had a classic pop group, they would be it.
  12:05pm Matt from Springfield:

@LJFW: Can you sum up modern Japanese history in one sentence?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm charlie:

Yah! Hey there Carmichael, James, Doyle, Brian, Michael, Matt, Bob! And to those about to rock...
  12:07pm Matt from Springfield:

This Puffy has a very 70s rock sound that Clay Pigeon would love! Too bad his DJ Duel with Fabio doesn't start until 3, I would give him points if he played this one!
  12:07pm Matt from Springfield:

Hi NDBob, Carm and everyone!
  12:07pm Artie:

I'm feeling this Puffy.
  12:12pm Carmichael:

Ha Ha! Just remembered the 5-6-7-8s! Probably a bit "lite" for this station, though ....
  12:12pm listener james from westwood:

matt: modern japanese history has been a journey from feudalism and farming to democracy and industrial might, shaped by the larger world and in turn, shaping the world around it through commerce, culture, and conflict.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm charlie:

hiya Artie, I'm feelin' your feelin'
Nah, Carm, I like the 5678s, many do, esp Joe Belock
  12:14pm don:

yes!
  12:14pm Artie:

Hey Mickey!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:15pm charlie:

oboy, Don's here!
  12:15pm Matt from Springfield:

Great mash-up potential for this "umo"! Pair it with the Ting Tings "That's Not My Name".

Bravo LJFW! :)
  12:15pm northguineahills:

@listener james from westwood: and all w/in 158 years.
  12:16pm listener james from westwood:

i give good summary
  12:16pm northguineahills:

or, one could argue, under 50 years, as by 1910, they were more industrialized then anyone else besides the US/UK/France/Germany.
  12:17pm don:

yo charlie! so psyched for this show
  12:17pm Matt from Springfield:

@Carm: The 5-6-7-8s had songs in "Kill Bill", that's WAY too mainstream for WFMU! We dig the challenge of digging deeper!

Dig dig dig, until you reach the core. Then dig some more. If you do it right you'll end up in Japan...
  12:17pm Doug S.:

I just have one thing to say:
チャーリーのショーに誓約をしてください！
  12:19pm Tower:

oooh, pretty pelican!
  12:20pm listener james from westwood:

ah, but i suspect fmu played the 5-6-7-8s well before quentin went crate-digging for their gems. as the homepage occasionally says, "hear the music in tomorrow's volkswagen ads, today"
  12:22pm Artie:

@Doug: Got any Ovaltine for sale?
  12:24pm Doug S.:

@Artie, bump Charlie up to 100% and I will mail you a container of Ovaltine immediately. (Bump him up to 50% and I will email it.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:25pm charlie:

Howdy, Northguineahills, Tower, and Mr Drummer-Some!
  12:27pm Otis:

great slowburning older 5678s song is "Blue Radio" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS3C8AcPrZ0
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:28pm charlie:

Thanks, Otis, and a warm welcome to you!
  12:31pm Matt from Springfield:

@LJFW: True. And that's a great slogan!
  12:31pm Otis:

thanks charlie! Great show... rarely at keyboard though/
  12:33pm still b/p:

Tom Cruise is missing from the comment summary of Japanese history.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39pm charlie:

hi still b/p
ok everybody let's break out the sake...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:40pm charlie:

"Daisy" by Buffalo Daughter goes out to listener Jan (catch you on the archives, Jan!)
  12:41pm still b/p:

This is great. Nearly missed it...end of job meant end of FMU schedule/computer habits.
  12:41pm Matt from Springfield:

Buffalo Daughter is great!
  12:45pm northguineahills:

I agree w/ Matt!
  12:45pm Katya Oddio:

Thought I bought a Japanese koto album, but it was Kenny G -- not the Kenny G we know and love. Disappointing is not the word.
  12:47pm Katya Oddio:

Thanks for the reminder, Doug! haven't made my pledge this time yet.
  12:47pm jan:

Was that me who made the request? Not today, anyway, but thanks for playing it. I am listening live today, at the studio. Show is great! I pledged too.
  12:48pm Matt from Springfield:

Dance in the "Metal", not "Middle"?!
  1:02pm Katya Oddio:

92%! Kick ass!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:02pm charlie:

Yes, Jan, great call. I forgot I had that one :)
Yes, Matt, Metal, not Middle! So you can be the Metal Matt instead of the Middle Matt.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:03pm charlie:

8% unbearable cuteness!
  1:04pm Katya Oddio:

Totally unrelated, but did you hear Wanda Jackson just released a new album? Little firecracker is still at it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:04pm charlie:

"naughty word alert"
  1:07pm Katya Oddio:

Think it was on Charlie's show c1990 that I first heard Petty Buka (sp?) and Shoukichi Kina and Champloose.
  1:07pm Boris:

We're waiting...
  1:08pm Katya Oddio:

Lady Reignicorn had her say already, Boris
  1:12pm Katya Oddio:

Hmmm... mid-'90s, eh? T'weren't Charlie then.
  1:14pm Katya Oddio:

J-Pop World - http://www.j-popworld.com/
  1:14pm northguineahills:

Lady Reignicorn, from Adventure Time?
  1:15pm Katya Oddio:

Peanuts, I still love you so!
  1:16pm Katya Oddio:

She's Korean, right, NGH?
  1:21pm northguineahills:

Yep, Katya Oddio! (In Adventure Time)

(or she speaks Korean)
  1:26pm Katya Oddio:

Sucked in college Japanese.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:27pm charlie:

I'd still love to study Japanese....
  1:29pm Matt from Springfield:

Ikue Asazaki is sung in a lounge style, but seems more "traditionally Japanese".
  1:30pm northguineahills:

Otomo, one of my all-time favorite musicians.
  1:31pm Katya Oddio:

I can testify that you have mastered origami
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:32pm charlie:

Yes, the universal language of paper folding ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:33pm charlie:

@Matt, I believe that is a traditional song from Okinawa...
  1:37pm Katya Oddio:

Berserk - Giant Robots
http://youtu.be/bb7WIS0RjT0
  1:38pm listener james from westwood:

berserk giant robots are the very best giant robots.
  1:41pm Matt from Springfield:

Interesting, you can kind of tell the "old" sounds of Japan.
  1:41pm Matt from Springfield:

Absolutely, LJFW!
  1:46pm Katya Oddio:

You want traditional? Seek out bushi, shomyo, gagaku, kachashi.
  1:47pm Katya Oddio:

Champloose - Haisai Ojisan
http://youtu.be/mIW_yeZMxtM
  1:47pm ndbob:

this is great!
  1:48pm Matt from Springfield:

Yep Katya, that's the *very* old stuff!
  1:51pm listener james from westwood:

lol @ the electric company sample!
  1:52pm Katya Oddio:

Yeah! Rita Moreno has SOME lungs!
  1:52pm Matt from Springfield:

Gr8! intro!!!!!
1-2-3-meow! is my new count-in!
  1:53pm Matt from Springfield:

Any relation to Abba's "Thank You For The Music"? Japabba.
  1:54pm doyle:

  1:55pm Katya Oddio:

Cornelius! Man, his "Point" was sure in overplay
Cornelius - Point of View Point
