Rats & Star (ラッツ&スター, Rattsu ando Sutā), formerly called Chanels, was a Japanese pop group that specialized in R&B & soul music… in blackface. Good stuff otherwise. {Had to update the vid. Original was sent to the YouTube gulag.]
Oh!Sharels is also Japanese and also do some nice retro covers, like this 1959 hit by the Flamingos (which was a cover of the song from 1934).
How ’bout some Japanese rockabilly? Not sure just what to make of Shelly (aka Shelly Trip Realize, aka Tinc), but the band rocks.
Have a great weekend or something. See you back here tomorrow for stuff.
